Rich blacks could vote in more states after independence than poor whites. And that remained the case for 50 years. Leading to the hilarious case where the first recognized black slave in the US was owned by a black man.

Regardless, offices again had property and tax qualifications in virtually all states.
WWW is what it is: Wild West ++ :) Simply: law not yet catched up with current technology and someone is monetizing.

In ideal world self-spying on your nation would be unnecesary. But we are not ideal. So: the more privacy the better. That is why China and others are (curently) wasting themselves and keep being loosers.

Take it from ex-Warsaw Pact country citizen: resources put into spying on your own people are wasted and create more and more opposition, which requiure more resources, more manpower and bureaucracy which keep undermine the "goal".

Possibly distrust for own people was quite a factor in fall of Comunist quest for the world. And actually genocide was and is commies self-defeat "method".
Yes, it's not either/or. The web is a kind of meta-OS with a very minimal and simple API, and as far as the web is concerned everything in userland operates as a thin-client. The OS is only of interest locally.

By the mid-90s I was furious with both Microsoft and Apple for setting computing back by at least a decade.

You could - with extreme effort - make an Atari ST multitask. And of course with the Amiga it was built in.

So why did we throw that away and go backwards to DOS and then single-process Windows - which eventually reinvented multitasking nearly a decade later and sold it as if it was the most astounding development in the history of computing?

Of course there were technical challenges - protected memory, protected processes, and so on. But the earliest versions of Windows didn't have those either.

So it was a disappointing and frustrating time - an alienating difference of philosophy between consumer computing designed for creativity and exploration, and box-shifting commodity computing designed for form-filling and bureaucracy, which might allow you to have some fun after hours if you behaved yourself and the machine didn't crash.

Considering how smart the Amiga team were, it would have been very interesting to see what they could have done with ubiquitous fast networking, high-res graphics and video, and pocketability.

I suspect the result would have been far more open and inspiring than the corporate sand trap we have today.
It seems two spaces " " wins " ". There's no substance, but more of it!

Specifically, American colonists wanted representation in the the British Parliament and because they didn't have that they considered taxes a denial of their rights as Englishmen.
This is so irritating: Project Astoria worked great on Windows Mobile at the time. It seemed solely as a strategic choice they didn't launch it. And now they're doing it again... even though they already killed their mobile platform? Why?
They could as well make use of that underlying x86 emulation technology to run ActiveX components and sell it to those companies that still rely on them in their internal systems — I'm sure there still are such companies.
That the difficulty of finding the video in YouTube search was a deliberate change made at the request of the CIA.

Show HN: I Rebuilt MySpace from 2007
I've put a lot of thought into the problem with current social media and the evils of the attention economy.

The feed view is the problem, I would much prefer pintrest style view where each person I follow will have a card with there latest txt update. The cards would be in the order of newest to oldest. Follow 100 people, have 100 cards on a single dashboard.

Cards will not be lost in the ocean of unordered timelines/feeds.

Clicking a username will show that account's timeline of all posts (paginated if needed) with the ability to sort by ascending or decending, and keyword search a timeline (simple full-text-search).

The workflow: as a user I check the main homepage dashboard with pintrest style cards, the newest posts front and center at top.

Cards could be clicked to view responses and usernames could be clicked to view an individual's ordered timeline.

At a glance the reader could quickly determine if anything new is posted.

If you want to hear more about my idea let me contact me (details in my profile).

Why would you doubt they’re on HN? I’ve seen some light versions of this at my current workspace.

A coworker took 3 weeks off in November to return to her home country for her sisters wedding. The new manager on our team was questioning how she could do that (we have an unlimited PTO policy, and the coworker had not taken much PTO in the past).

It’s a lot more common than you would imagine.

I don't know much about what Microsoft is working on, but "running Linux inside of Linux inside of Windows" probably isn't what they really want to do.
>Where does it claim that? I'm not saying you are lying. I didn't watch it properly so I may have missed it.

All the conflicts are shown as one-sided. Like the Iran one, where he mentions US/CIA interference, but doesn't mention all other players that also wanted to interfere there, because Iran and oil were essential to the global scenario of Cold War (and eventually a not cold war).

>I don't know what that means. Are you saying that something in the video is untrue or just that it contains facts that make the US government look bad? Would you describe a similar video criticizing an enemy of the US government (whether another government, terrorist organisation, or something else) in the same way?

I'm saying the video does indeed make an extra effort to make the US government / CIA look bad indeed. The thing is, looks like there is an editorial choice to make that point, and the video went after it. No wonder it can/will raise eyebrows in the US government / CIA. Which is a completely sepparate problem from youtube/online censoring.

>I think the problem here is if YouTube's goal is to help the government who (according to the author) is Google's customer. YouTube is under no obligation to do anything to help spread the author's video, but they should definitely be criticised for working with an organisation committing horrible abuses and acts of violence.

Indeed. That's exactly what I mean. YouTube is in close ties with the government, and also led by advertisers, they explicitly want to make it more friendly to the most viewers possible. And that kind of documentary is not aligned with that goal, thus will not be promoted.

But it is important to notice the difference between promoting it and hiding it actively. I can't find the video while searching for the exact title.
No, I was referring to the security system that's likely to be installed in the hypothetical million dollar home upthread.

Many of the comments here are making this point and don't seem to understand twtxt. It's possible that the repo's README doesn't present what twtxt is as clearly as it could.

The value proposition of twtxt is that it's stupid easy to "add" to your server while being good enough to be used for 80% of what you'd use Twitter or Mastodon for. You can trivially host your twtxt "account" on pretty much any server, including the one where your current website already lives, even if that server only supports static sites. This is because twtxt is more like RSS than like Twitter, albeit intended to be used in such a way that it's only appropriate for the sort of dispatches you broadcast through Twitter, rather than the totality of what RSS can be/is used for. The format also happens to score better on the human readability scale, too.

Here's an example twtxt.txt feed: http://akkartik.name/twtxt.txt. That's it; if that were your feed, then that would be all your account data right there.

(NB: Just so this comment isn't taken the wrong way—imagined subtext and whatnot—this comment has been written as a twtxt outsider. I'm not doing twtxt now, and I don't plan to.)

PS: For anyone who is in the twtxt target audience, you should consider enabling CORS on your site, if possible. https://enable-cors.org/
> If Apple were able to copy some app and in return mention your name as a co-author of some sort/tip you - that would probably be a life changing experience for most developers out there.

Losing your income stream certainly is life-changing.

How would Apple admitting they did it change your life for the better?

When you say "tip you", are you thinking "compensate you for all future lost sales and throw in an extra million or two"?
Except they're comparing Amazon reviews to other Amazon reviews. It can be assumed the reviews from January-March were purchased with the same expectations as those from later in the year.

I'd be curious to see if there's a difference in negative reviews when divided by regions with different COVID infection rates.
"Fringe thinkers" is a very complementary and misleading way of describing the kinds of things HN users are typically OK with websites banning.
Yeah, but his argument was directly coming from a C/C++ perspective, which makes it at least a bit... strange.
The tweet itself focuses on the drop in average rating this year, not quantity of sales. I didn't down vote you, but others may have because you aren't responding to the claim in the tweet, but an interpretation of the title.

Yeah it could be but it was 4-5 years after his death that it showed up which is a while and the connection is otherwise pretty generic to me.
This is true, but you need to consider the context of the debate. The problem with political discussions is that every person (or every side) is actually debating something else.

That said, there are three common contexts to "bringing up the wrongs of the past:"

1 - It's a counter to traditionalist/revivalist/restorationist sentiment and/or mythology. In this case, the myth is that all freedoms come from and are rooted in the infallible founding. Any change is a corruption or a regression and reduces freedom.

The true history is that abolition happened first in the empire. The moral change which made the term "freedom" applicable in any meaningful sense came from outside the empire. The conclusion (should be) exactly what you laid out. Freedom, and a lot of other things we value are really the result of societal progression.

IMO, it's essential to make this argument.

2 - To make analogies to the present.

"In the past, people thought it was OK to X. Today, we don't."

3 - It's a baid faith argument. China suppressing traditional minorities because "the americans did it." This context is just a character assassination attempt and it's bad.

Back when BlackBerry were an exciting innovative phone manufacturer (IMHO) they implemented an Android runtime on top of their QNX OS. It was a great idea, and worked (modulo whatever lockin Google were doing at the time).
This is not specific to Canon by the way, even smaller cameras like the newest RX-100s from Sony have limitations on taking high resolution videos because of overheating.
We were still using Adium at work until September of 2019.

Most people were on RocketChat, but we’d had a Jabber server up forever, and people were just in the habit. We finally turned it off.

Tangent, sort of: RocketChat is just awful. Push notifications fail, it’s slow, and it just really does not want to mark a message as read. But they insist on having a local on-premises server, so what are you going to do? It’s just so much worse at the basics of chatting than Adium.

>The sooner people realize that, the better. Beyond that, there is an argument here for having transparent practices. There is nothing preventing youtube from saying the truth about what they do.

Indeed.

About the criticism, it really sounds like that to me in the video. It implies in the way it is written, and I don't wanna go over details of the script, but pay attention to moments when he mentions "like a good democracy" and so on.

The current status of world dominance/power is an evolution of previous iterations (be it good or bad). But we never had a democratic system the CIA is breaking. The video is presented in a way that if you don't know all of that you will assume the CIA is making the world bad. It is just one more player amongst many, and just a continuation of something that is going on since the Romans.
The culture at Indian IT firms seems incredibly toxic from what I’ve heard. Long hours, low pay, incompetent managers and thus frequent turnover. So this doesn’t sound that surprising.

My favorite feature from the past is RISC OS's "adjust" feature, bound to the third mouse button. This had three functions:

Selecting menu items without closing the menu.

Toggling selection status of selectable icons (same as control+click in modern GUIs).

Changing the length of text selections (same as shift+click in modern GUIs).

Sadly, modern GUIs seem to limit themselves to two mouse buttons. Adding "adjust" would improve productivity if you had a three button mouse, and you could ignore it if you lacked mouse buttons and not be any worse off. Maybe there are other good features from early OSs we have forgotten.
It's kind of weird how Doom 2016 is such a stark contrast to every other AAA game of the time, because if you were to ask the average person who played it, it is probably how their 90's version imagined Doom to be like twenty years in the future.
The resolution is not everything. Compression and bitrate matters as well. No $100 Camera is able to handle that bitrate. Raw 8k results in 2.6 Gbps. That is not something that a small and low prower CPU can process. And thats what causing the heat.

I checked for a 100€ 4k action cam and tried to find out the bitrate they use. I found none where it was specified but this one https://www.goxtreme-action-cams.com/de/goxtreme-manta-4k/ requires at least a U3 class SD card. That means 30MB/s so 240mbps. And thats what causing the heat.
Canon could of course but a better cooler into the camera but that was either a economic decision to protect their professional camera gear, a a design decision to keep the case small or a mix of both.

As with every Musk project, industry expert come out and claim that all they do is subsidies their product with investor money, there is no way it could be so cheap.

The expert here is actually somebody from a competitor company.

Not convinced by arguments like that. Industry experts so often simply don't think things are possible, but those exact experts also haven't actually tried, exactly because they think its not possible.

It might be above 500$ but the is no way in hell Elon Musk would sell something for 500$ that has a 2.5k$ production cost. Elon would only sell something for 500$ if he would see a fast path to that cost being realized.

Five Key Findings from the Highly-Anticipated ‘Future of Jobs’ Report
Now, for the benefit of Mankind , Microsoft must release Linux/MacOS subsystem for Windows (Subsystem which is capable to run Windows applications in Linux/MacOS) .

I know Wine do exist, but it is not 100% Windows compatible. If they really care about us people, they must either release Windows subsystem for Linux/MacOS or contribute to wine to make it fully windows compatible.

Solely benefitting off Open Source Projects adding those to their closed system is not so nice imo , they must do it in other direction too.

Just imagine frustration to dualboot windows just because of one application which runs only in Windows.

On other hand, Just imagine the application running perfectly in subsystem in Linux/MacOS without any dual boot. Many wouldn't bother even if it's paid application imo.

No. It is largely irrelevant to what the person's point was because they weren't really asking why America was founded. I am sure you will quote it verbatim and say "it says exactly those words" while ignoring the actual intent.
Huh, works fine for me on iOS 14.2.
This is already happening for some products, especially small hardware manufacturers I think. For example, I live in Switzerland and wanted to order a product from vanamco.com and since they let Amazon handle all the logistics, this is what they replied:

"Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, we are not able to ship to Switzerland from our EU Amazon warehouse. [...]"

The most incredible thing is that this is a company based in Switzerland...

We're basically stuck at the bottom of a sand dune. Irrational at the bottom, more rational as you get higher. Gravity always. Ever more sand being added at the top.

Being "smarter" takes a lot of effort. Few of us have the training, experience, or excess energy to do so consistently or well.

Maybe sociopathy is just weaponized irrationality, somehow exploiting these universal weaknesses, knowingly or not.

> Interestingly, the subdirectories are not memory0 to memory127, but memory0 to memory20 and memory32 to memory138. There must be some explanation for the 11-block hole in the numbers, but I don't know what it is.

The obvious explanation is the PCI window. Looking at the memoryN/valid_zones file, I can see on my machine that the ones below memory32 have DMA32, while the ones above have Normal; DMA32 is the zone with memory below 4G, while Normal is the zone with memory above 4G. There's a window at the top of the 32-bit physical address space where most PCI devices are mapped; you can see these mappings by looking at /proc/iomem (as root, since the addresses are masked otherwise).

That is, the physical memory which should be at that hole was instead remapped to somewhere else (otherwise it would have been wasted); the directories above memory127 probably correspond to that remapped memory.
