Nestlé, a foreign non-US company, is also raiding another part of America, Florida, by pumping 1.1M gallons of groundwater per day from Ginnie Springs. The reason bottled water pumping is so much more damaging is because the water does not return back to the water aquifer once it is transported away.

Extract from 2nd link:

What happens if a certain government authority comes knocking, demanding all logs for a certain time period and IP range?

User IP addresses are not logged, so it wouldn’t be possible for us to provide that information; we simply do not have it.

Have you ever received any requests for information from any authority?

At the time of writing we have not received any requests for information from any authority. If we were to be compelled by a court or similar to give over information, all we would ever able to hand over would be uncoupled search queries, referral data, and requested pages. We log, on aggregate, where traffic comes from at a country level, but we do not and never have logged or stored individual IP addresses. Any information about browsers used is uncoupled from search queries.

Does being in the UK subject you to surveillance under the Snooper’s Charter?

The Snooper's Charter (or Draft Communications Data Bill) was only a bill, it was never implemented. The similar ‘Investigatory Powers Act’ was passed, but that applies to Communication Service Providers, not us. As a non-tracking search engine which respects privacy, we don't store any IP addresses or other information that would be useful to the UK Government if they were looking to identify individuals and if we were compelled in court to hand it over. This all being said, we encourage all Mojeek users to use a wide variety of anti-surveillance and pro-privacy tools when browsing the Web.

Can you be a private option whilst being resident in a Five Eyes member country?

The Five Eyes is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. As Mojeek does not store IP addresses, there would be very little useful information to hand over to the Five Eyes nations were they to compel us to give them data or to allow them to access to Mojeek’s backend.
No need to worry about who should go first. They will be rolling it out based on need.

When it's available to you, go get it.
En masse, with a popular website, sure. But from my limited traffic website where I sometimes look at individual requests by hand and see that it's my friends from residential Dutch IP addresses loading the page, I'm quite sure these are no secret masqueraded internet robots. Hence I conclude that, since much of the traffic (in periods that I look at randomly, the vast majority I never look at) is identifiable as human or as clearly a crawler, such unidentifiable bot traffic is a very tiny percentage.

I'm sure it'll be there, lots of people will be interested in what differences a page shows from different vantage points or to robots, but it's probably less than a percent of all robot traffic.

Though checking the thread above mine, I'm not exactly sure what I was replying to. Didn't it say something about robot traffic that wasn't identifiable as such? I don't see that anymore.
I think there's a difference between:

(a) I WILL WAIT because I don't trust it yet,
and

(b) I WILL WAIT because I want to let the more at-risk people to have access it to first

That seems to be lost in the poll
10 hours of autonomous is pretty great. Someone can’t safely operate a tractor for 10 hours straight anyways

I’ve gone whole months without drinking close physical contact!
New construction in San Francisco (and basically everywhere else in the United States) is constrained primarily by policy. If it were legal to build more, then developers would surely build more.
I feel inspired. I've told my investors if I can get to 10% of their MRR, we'll be dollarnares. It's really exciting.
It's as nonsensical question as "Will you stop your car when you see red traffic lights?". If it's not obligatory it's useless or at least at high risk of being so. So I consider such poll too preposterous to even deserve an answer.
HN really doesn't have a sense of humor. Or rather, a joke can get some up voters if tailored to the wry geek sense of humor, but any post which contains humor or subtext or sarcasm will absolutely get an outraged reply from somebody who has taken it literally.
Is this a genuine personality type or a reaction to incentives?

We're in an era which celebrates weakness and perceived victimhood over strength and perseverance, and rewards quite richly with attention, position, status, financial benefits, etc.

It's therefore not unsurprising there's no shortage of grifters willing to play the act in the pursuit of those incentives, whether actively (narcissists) or subliminally optimizing (TIV?) for the path of least resistance.

We get what we deserve or alternatively we get what we reward.
It sounds to me more like you already had a tool in mind (ML) and were just looking for some nails ;)

Well, like all people looking to get grants, I had a pot of money we could get but we had to use a tool to do it. Welcome to grants in 2020 where ML is one thing that gets funded and language preservation is not funded but actually needed as COVID seems to be removing a fair number of people who know the language.
Do you realize how horrible it is to disseminate conspiracy theories that you heard from a "friend" who heard it from "a doctor"?

You're part of the problem.
> I think this is what makes the perceived seriousness of the virus such a central point of conflict, as it determines what people see as the appropriate level of response.

I have to agree there. The hospitals in my hometown are getting to the breaking point, and people are dying. It seems reasonable to expect some sort of response under the circumstances.
I don't get this take - the founder mentioned he grew up in Africa in one of the threads (of course this doesn't preclude him from taking advantage of folks in the African job market, it doesn't exactly scream colonial mindset) and I'm just not sure what you're talking about for the big tech co's not hiring locally. Would you rather they just hired abroad but then those people would build products for Africa? Seems worse. Or would you rather every African country build its own MSFT, Google, Apple, etc. competitor domestically?
FYI a modern horse can generate many horsepower, between 10 and 15hp per horse.
Once John Deere starting DRM’ing their tractors it just screams entrenched monopoly.

But where’s the barrier to entry? AI is going to dramatically alter this competitive landscape and John Deere’s DRM is not going to to stop it.

Honestly, I love watching these companies drive nails into their own coffins.

I was on the Google homepage today on my iPhone and was getting popups advertising Chrome (on the homepage!) and then again in the search results advertising the Google app. I changed my default to DDG right then and there.

Seriously, it’s like 4 taps. Settings > Safari > Search Engine > DDG.

Don’t support these shitty companies and just watch them burn themselves to the ground. It might take 10 years but consumers ultimately will be the arbiter.

Autonomy is a proof-is-in-the-pudding thing. If it works as advertised, people will adopt it eventually.
> You cant actually stop the os on mobile from using its default browser for most of it's tasks.

On Android, the only thing that the default browser ever opens for is captive portal detection. Otherwise, all links from apps like Signal or OSMAnd open in Firefox. Granted, I am running Lineage OS. Does a phone with Google Play Services installed override Firefox for Android to use the preinstalled web browser instead?
I completely agree -- but what I'd like to understand is what those risks are from the vaccine. In Canada, the risk from COVID is high, but not as high as that in the US.

Yes because ip spoofing doesn't happen.
It's interesting you think this is related to "victim hood culture" because the paper really doesn't make any claims it has to do with culture; rather it has to do with an individual's upbringing. The root-cause is suggested to be poor early attachment.

If this paper is correct, this is not something that can be corrected by merely changing culture or simply scolding it away; the behavior traits will manifest themselves quietly as per the experiment shows.
The first kind of job might be treating you much better than the second kind though. People with high motivation can often perform better while being treated worse. The game industry is a good example for that.

I heard that musk complained about programmers not willing to put in overtime for Zip2. All his companies after PayPal are based on motivating workers with some goal people can get behind (Environment, Mars colonization).
Then what? Allowing false information to fester is wrong, censorship is wrong. The way forward is to ban recommendation algorithms and go back to personal (as in, from other humans you know) recommendation systems.

Ambrosia is probably the most legendary Mac game developer. There was no other singular studio whose games were so avidly anticipated and played. Such well-polished games, with great gameplay. I can easily recall every single game they ever made. I think Maelstrom was the first one I played. Great memories :)
Packrat parsers are notably faster than recursive descent parsers (also critical for IDE use) and by turning them "inside out" (replacing their memoization with dynamic programming) you get a pika parser which has very good recovery ability.

There are varying techniques to improve error recovery for all forms of parsing but hacked-up recursive descent (certainly the most common kind of parser I still write for my hacked-up DSLs!) have poor error recovery unless you put in the work. Most LR parsers are also awful by default.

When I was in university most focus was on LL and LR parsers with no discussion of error recovery and more focus on memory usage/bounds than speed. I also have no idea how common it is to teach combinator-based parser grammers these days; stuff like ANTLR and yacc dominated during my studies. This would add another level of unfamiliarity for students going to work on a "real compiler".
> I voted to wait. It's because I'm in an age and fitness bracket where I'm unlikely to be in serious danger from becoming infected, and a lifestyle bracket where I'm unlikely to be infected at all. I expect supply will be limited at first, so someone staring down a lot more risk than I am should get it.

That's my situation too, but I voted yes under the assumption that I won't be allowed to take it until all the higher risks groups have gotten it.

But I'm in America and assumed in January/February that we'd handle this pandemic far better than we actually did. So maybe I'll be unpleasantly surprised again to find the first doses allocated by some corruptly shortsighted system like an auction.
Apple outages, Apple injustices – FSF perspective
Censorship needn't be the primary motivator for it to occur.
I'll double check that. This is an intermittent issue, across multiple installs of windows 10, and I'm almost certain it's an issue created by one of the laptops drivers.

Fortunately, I don't normally live in Windows, so I have little desire to spend much time hunting down and fixing the problem.
You can run laptop cpus today on 1.2V, I doubt that would have too much of an issue powering over-ear headphones with 2.4V-3V of two AAAs in series.

Plus, it doesn't really matter the type of battery. You can find pretty much any of rechargeable battery (3.7V, 7.4V, nickel, Li-ion) for less than $15, retail. It's mind boggling to think that people on Hacker News (of all places) think that is sensible to subject yourself to something as anti-consumer and as environment-unfriendly as what Apple offers.

People saying "NO" or "I WILL WAIT" should be ashamed of themselves for falling for misinformation and harming the rest of us.

(Unless people are confused and saying "I will wait" when in fact they're going to be forced to wait until their turn comes around)
I understand that. My Linux machine is a 2015 Asus UX305 laptop. Suspend/resume works under Ubuntu's desktop, but I use i3wm, which requires the user to enable features like that themselves. I never did get auto-suspend to work, but I was able to get suspend to work when I attached to a hotkey. So instead of closing lid (or having auto-suspend after, say, 30 minutes inactivity), I just press the hotkey to have the machine suspend. I grew to prefer this to lid-closing. (Auto-resume always worked fine under i3wm, just press any key and it started up).
Andrew Welch had an intense Bolo addiction for a while. It was in the latter part of my own Bolo addiction, but we played quite a few games together.

Ah, Bolo.
The locals have been mostly gentrified. There is no Prop 13 in TX, it’s a low-service state, so it all rolls down to property valuation and tax rate.
Edit: before you downvote, these are reasons I’ve read/heard. They do not represent my own views.

1. This is an mRNA vaccine and is the first of it's kind to be widely offered. This appears to be different than the rest of the vaccines out there for other illnesses.

2. There isn't a perceived benefit for many people: the vast majority of people won't get sick or be impacted in any way.

3. It apparently doesn't stop people from getting or becoming transmissions vectors. So, if you get the vaccine and it makes you less sick, then you may take "riskier" actions than if you were to get it and actually have some symptoms. (IOW, why take it?)

4. Some people can't take it due to allergy concerns?

This is just what I've found in my online research.
This is great! There aren't enough references on Python internals, I find.

Not sure you're at all interested in going in this direction, but I (and likely many people) would be really interested in a similar explanation of NumPy internals.
“Cutting down the public’s ability to flip out removes one of the only real checks on the most dangerous kind of fake news, the official lie." Perfect summary of the article.

I know these things can be legal quagmires, but it would be great if you and your former colleagues could release activated copies of your software, somewhere. I was able to track down Soundboard after a lot of digging, but EasyEnvelopes seems to have disappeared from the internet. It would be a shame if it was just lost to history.

You're looking at it from the wrong side. Developer supply for SV companies just expanded to include potentially everyone who for various reasons did not want to or was unable to relocate to SV. Tech salaries will fall for SV companies, though it might initially be a bump up from what those non-local developers could get in their local areas.
If you believe in science, you also believe that things can be proven wrong, and that repeating wrong things can influence people especially if you have the power to amplify your voice with money.

If you believe in liberty, you believe in the liberty of a set of an individuals (a company) to do what they damn well please with their platform.
PAPPL (Printer Application Framework) v1.0 released
Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate this work and it’s super important if you get it right. I’m worried the first step is drastically in the wrong philosophical direction as far as the metric itself goes.

If you’re just proving out the tech then do that but the current publishing of the most “critical” projects is laughably wrong (as I’m sure you’ve heard from the comments on the page). The project isn’t a dead end but any attempt to use the data right now to drive decisions is a lost cause. Maybe you have some secret sauce that makes it work better for internal Google projects but if that’s the case that methodology should be published as well so that people can get an understanding of how Google uses this more effectively.

I’m just contrasting this to a paper Google published recently about how to measure uptime more effectively in cloud. Every step of that paper was eminently approachable and didn’t have any obvious philosophical flaws that stood out to me (we can argue about them but any potential arguments were called out).

Again, I applaud the attempt. This is a super important problem and trying to tackle it is laudable. Getting the right metrics is crucial and this is being released far too early with a presentation that makes it seem far more complete than it is.

I agree that it is poorly managed pandemic, that is the decision to do lockdown.
It seems that there's a strong component to this argument that such moves inflame Trump supporters. The problem with this is that it has been established that a substantial part of Trump supporters will be inflamed no matter whether the subject at hand corresponds to a real issue, or a completely fabricated one.

Thus the people who should be concerned here are the ones who try to take reality into consideration when judging news, in which case the issue here is really no worse than the coverage and editorial lines that most need media currently hold. Looking from that perspective, YouTube's policy allows by far the broadest expression of opinions in an online property without having to go with less mainstream forums.

For Taibbis argument to be taken seriously, he should address the problems that stem from a section of society to be completely dissociated from reality.

Waiting:

- I'm young & healthy and want to wait until people who are more vulnerable than me have gotten theirs.

- I wouldn't ever run .0 releases in prod. I don't have a pressing need for the vaccine and can afford to see if there are any unexpected side-effects or complications with other diseases and conditions that don't show until its given to a larger population.

- I am currently very sick and so receiving any vaccine would be dangerous for me.

- I've already gotten COVID so I should be the last person in line.

Never:

- I already know that I'm allergic to something in the vaccine.

- I have a weakened or compromised immune system and can't take most vaccines and my doctor says this is no exception.

- (I don't know if this one is true) I've already gotten COVID so I don't need the vaccine.

Same. Just like first generation Apple hardware, even if looks as good as the M1, I'd rather have other people take the plunge before I do.

In about a year, I may. By then, we'll have 2 years worth of data from the test group - good enough!

If I perceive any serious risk, I won't. Being young and with no risk factors, I have little to gain - so the rational move for me is to leech off the group herd immunity effect.

So people, please, do the right thing and get vaccinated!! Protect your parents and your neighbors!!!

This is exactly the sort of dynamic that would happen in many economic "resets" and is a huge part of the reason why the ultra wealthy aren't as concerned by such resets as many people assume
