This is crazy. It's such a long distance. How can it be so cheap? Is it subsidized? Do Ouigo operate their own trains?
To keep things in track in the spirit of the originating comment, do those people not fit exactly what the commenter was talking about? That they may be average/below average at many things, but they have spent a great deal of time to become well above average at, say, understanding how to manipulate people (which I stress may not be a conscious decision to be a bad person), rather than having, say, expert knowledge of automobile mechanics? I mean it's a shitty thing, but it's not really about "worth" per se, it's about skill, and that skill doesn't have to be ethically positive/neutral

I used to follow Brian Goulet of fountain pen fame on Periscope. I think either he stopped streaming or I stopped watching when Twitter bought Periscope and stopped letting people easily record their streams by sending them to a recording service.

Since then, I've not heard one mention of Periscope in my local circles, which is only anecdotes, but my point is that there is definitely room for a startup to redo the same app idea.

For me, Byte replaced Vine since iirc some of the Vine founders were involved with Byte's startup. Byte <> ByteDance
Well you might address it also the way you have mentioned but there is a tiny issue. European culture and its laws are highly problematic in regards to todays behaviour and income that large internet companies profit from (spying on users and use their data essentially against them - even for just showing the ads). Today there is just no way to make your own 3rd party OS / search engine / social network (regardless if it would be better) as development is too expensive on the other side you dont have financing from the same murky practices that were just too new when current giants (and even those have monopoly so there is literally no way to finance yourself) came out.

Yes, they were first but now they are strangling everybody.

And this is not only true for EU, same goes for USA. Someone will have to do something about it but with the power of home lobbying I dont believe that the States will do anything meaningful. On the other side, EU needs to protect its market.

It's almost like the company behind it wants to see some profit after pouring millions of dollars into developing these tools. Except, in 2020 you cannot just have a closed-source easy-to-use documented and supported product with a license fee. Not in the server market, at least. Everything must be free and open-source, and you are expected to make money by offering a hosted service. Except, good luck competing with Big Cloud.

I would disagree with the IaaS and PaaS distinction with AWS and GCP. Both have many many different services. They both provide an IaaS (compute instance) service and they both have a PaaS offering, among many others. Azure is in the same boat as well.

But seriously, by recalling and introspecting the thought process occurred just before an interruption, I think coding is moke akin to navigating a landscape -- it has a substantial spatial component.

Aah Slax. My gateway drug into the Linux world and experimenting with computers in general. Back when I was in school looong ago when I got a copy in a tech magazine I bought from a streetside vendor.

Forgot about it at some point, I'm glad too to see it's still around! Doubt I'd be in tech or so interested in tinkering or programming or whatever if it weren't for that.

No. Corporations are a creature of government policy, and receive entitlements that sole proprietorships or general partnerships do not receive, such as limitation of liability.

The fact that arrests of journalists are being tracked implies that some gatekeeping about who is a journalist is necessary. The clearer the definition is, the more meaningful the statistics will be. That is the only way we would actually be able track whether journalists are being targeted by police.

They are intended to protect yourself from the environment, not the other way around. So they come with incoming filters only. To change that, a retrofit filter is needed.

It will be tough to keep up with Edge/Safari on their respective home platforms going forward. I've been trying to move over to Edge from Firefox on my Windows desktop just because it's clearly the future. Safari works best on my iPhone12 mini. When I get an M1 MBA, I intend to just use Safari.

I haven't been using Firefox for nearly 20 years because of a rendering engine, I've used it because of its features. In the last 20 years, most people have moved from desktops to laptops and phones, native app battery use and performance means a lot more than features.
How did you retrofit the exhalation filter? I have a similar 3M mask (6000 series) but haven't used it since March since the exhale port doesn't make it easy to attach a filter. Being able to use it would solve my glasses fogging, which I've only been able to mitigate somewhat with shaped 3D printed pieces of plastic in the nose-wire slot of my fabric mask.
To be honest, Pen & Paper games have lost their appeal now that I know I'm the only one at the table not seeing anything.

Same for authors who write lengthy descriptions of environments and characters in books. I just figured that some people enjoyed to keeping notes of the descriptions -- architects maybe. I always skipped them.

On the opposite of that, VR is really amazing. Being able to keep my VR headset just above my eyes and look into an imaginary world at the same time as the real one? Simply mind blowing. I guess that's how people feel when they picture things.

You could try looking through an unplugged VR headset. You would see how I feel without any images!

> Make sure that a certain datastore is only read from in a certain context ... Ensure fallbacks for all uses of a secondary data-store ... joins between tables that have no business being joined

I wish linters / typesystems were extensible enough to do this kind of domain-specific checking. There's a new generation of static analysis that's much more focused on architecture or business rules and is less about code-in-the-small concerns like class methods or operator compatibility.
why not use the Periscope brand as their Stories feature? Instead they use something new called Fleets?
> How is your personal home the same thing as a gigantic, billion-user social network that has effectively (especially in 2020) replaced the pub, the bar, the town square, and the public forum? It's not, and you know it isn't.

I think the scale is a good point (no idea what your original post contained since it was flagged before I read it). Twitter and a handful of other social media companies handle (by which I mean "choose who gets to see what content") such an enormous volume of speech that its moderation policies can influence elections and therefore public policy. Moreover, their power is inherently anti-competitive--users can't take their network to another platform because these platforms don't interoperate by design. It seems like this is an antitrust issue, especially since these networks tend to lobby together to protect their interests.
Pretty simple. Most of us have jobs, follow the law and do not recommend others break it either.
Watching this with great interest.
The platform we are launching next year is focused on letting people vote the $40 trillion in shares they own through their collective investments.
A core feature is the ability to support externally proposed company resolutions so that they trigger minority shareholder rights, creating a mechanism for getting the issues that matter to you onto the only corporate agenda that counts.
We'll be operating 'Citizen Shareholder Assemblies' in which anyone will be able to participate.
We're super aware of the need for open debate and free speech but at the same time we want arguments to be based on data.
As Citizen Shareholders are able to follow the voting pattern of Default Advisors, we are particularly keen on preventing the 'obtaining of votes by deception'. You'd think there would be lot's of best practice we could follow from the wonderful world of politics, but it turns out that isn't a thing in the 'real world'.
If we achieve our ambitions in a few years we will have 10% of the EU population, and even more in the US (103.7 million US citizens own shares through collective investments).
Rather than waiting for problems to arise we are looking to get ahead of this curve.
We have a number of things going for us, 1. we are not reliant on advertising revenues 2. we will know who everyone is (free speech doesn't have to equal anonymous speech) and 3. we have so many examples of how not to do this.
We ;ook forward to the constructive criticism we will undoubtedly get from groups like hacker news.
Any upfront thoughts would be much appreciated.
Which was exactly my point. They are limiting the title of "journalist" to exclusively people who have been anointed as journalists by some gatekeeping entity. This rules out hobbyist, freelancers, self employed people, people just breaking into the industry, and all sorts of other people. The software developing equivalents of those people are inarguably part of the software development community. Why wouldn't their counterparts in another industry be considered journalists?
I think the original poster has seen an example of this, and they think apple could go further.

I certainly was surprised to see the sentence:

"Privacy practices may vary, for example, based on the features you use or your age."

I filled in the questions in app store connect recently, and since it is just a simple game without anything remotely privacy invading, I happily answered all the questions in the most "privacy respecting" way. To then see this sentence hinting that the privacy stuff might be different if people use unspecified features, or be particular ages... that is certainly a surprise.

Azure has had a cloud shell for a while as well
I’m sorry but I cannot fathom using Android (or iOS) on a professional camera. My Canon gear is extremely fast and responsive and Android is anathema to that. It powers on instantly and I can flip through menus as fast as I can physically turn the control wheel. I can change batteries in less than a second. My cameras will run for years without slowing down. My 7D is ten years old and as performant as the day I bought it. (It’s actually better since a firmware update lets me hotswap memory cards with my 5Dmk3.)

They can process raw images in body and display them at any zoom level without lag, loading or any other issue. My R5 has a touch screen but it’s faster and more comfortable to use the physical controls, especially since you can change settings without actually having to even look. It’s almost identical to my 5Dmk3 except they moved a couple of buttons because of the articulating screen hinge.

This is exactly what most photographers want. Familiar hardware that doesn’t get in the way. That gives the best optical quality that accurately and faithfully captures a scene giving total creative freedom to the photographer not the processor.

The idea of ruining a perfectly good system by pushing Android onto it ‘because apps’ or whatever it is such HN/disruptive nonsense.

Look at any smartphone photo on a large screen and they’re basically mush when it comes to detail. This is fine for most people, these phone cameras are far better than the point and shoot market they have rightfully destroyed.

People edit professional camera photos on large screens and nobody wants to use their camera to edit. Nobody wants their professional camera to introduce computational artefacts onto their exposure. Nobody wants to wait for it to boot. Nobody wants battery life to fall through the floor.

Lytro made a light field camera that ran Android. It was a fun gimmick and is now gathering dust on my shelf. Now Zeiss is making one for $6k and no one who actually cares about photography will buy it.

It would be bad for Linux users. To my knowledge, it is the only web browser that offers without patching video hardware acceleration.

It works on both Xorg and Wayland.

But TBH, the last few releases from 79 showed some bugs and regressions that affected my user experience. From 79 to 81-82, I had to disable vaapi support otherwise it made video playing stutter.

And in 83, webrender caused some extensions popup Windows to be blank.

I hope Linux Wayland user experience will stabilize. But I switched to Firefox full time on my home laptop thanks to hw acceleration support and also tab containers.
> I believe AWS is considered IAAS while GCP is more PAAS

There was a time when AWS had an IaaS and no PaaS and Google has a PaaS but no IaaS, but that's long (in public cloud offerings time) past.
I'm assuming the other two are New York and Boston?
It's not qualitatively different from a software engineer spending their time helping a FAANG increase their hold over people's habits. It's just more explicit.
For a long time in C's history, for most platforms, int overflow was actually treated as well defined behavior, with many examples suggesting to use tests like x + y < x (assuming positive integers) to detect overflow.

In modern C there is simply no portable way to easily check for integer overflow for 64-bit values, even though the vast majority of programs are running on a processor that defines exactly what happens with integer overflow, and even sets a flag that can be tested for in a single jump.

People often cite for loops over arrays as an example of places where treating integer overflow as UB helps with optimizations. This despite the fact that the recommended, standards compliant portable way to iterate over the range of indices in an array is to use a size_t index variable, which is an unsigned type.

>it's hard to find farmers who understand what good soil and the meaning of an ecosystem is.

I am not sure if you are referring to specific types of crops, but Netherlands has consistently been the best in Europe if not the best in the world at agriculture. Using nothing but precisely good soil, science and ecosystem. Outpacing yield make in both Canada and even US with GMO. It also has one of the best Bio/Food Tech startup scene.

And they have been doing it for years , before it get reported on by mainstream media [1]. The only thing that is lacking, comparatively speaking is the management, marketing and sales. Where the US companies tends to excel.

> I've often wondered if this means I am an introvert. I don't hate other people - on the contrary, I always try to be kind and respectful, and I try to see the humanity in people, even those who hold different views to me. I care a lot about society and the future of our species and our planet. I just don't feel a need to have social interactions in these tight-knit groups, having realized that they were the source of pretty much all my emotional struggles.

I don't think whether one is an introvert necessarily has anything to do with whether one is kind and respectful. While being kind certainly seems like a beneficial thing if you're an extrovert, it doesn't seem quite necessary, and on the flip side preferring a quiet room doesn't mean one can't be kind.

At least, I feel the same as you in that I'm certainly not one to do lots of partying (ignoring the special case of 2020), but I always try to be kind, helpful, etc. I'm not sure I can find myself in your story about emotional struggles, but that might just be my young age.

> One thing I do think is important to note is that this is somewhat of a privileged position to be in

Agree completely, there are various advantages to being wealthy enough to make your own choices about how to organise your life. This amount of wealth does not even necessarily mean "being rich", though in a sense we in that position are definitely rich (both money and other things), even if there are people far richer in terms of monetary value. And those "various advantages" can wind up being more than one may think, both those in the position of wealth and those not in that position.
You’re incorrectly contrasting two categories, conservatives and liberals. Mainstream American liberals are quite conservative by the measure of most developed countries’ political distributions, opposing things that the right wing in European countries generally respects (various welfare floors, universal healthcare, worker protections, etc). Although there’s a lot of blood spilt over narrow identitarian and culture war issues, the distinction between the two group is more that of center right vs. far right.

I would say it’s plainly obvious that Hacker News is predominantly center right, reflecting the biases of well-paid professional class workers. Just go lookup a thread about the need for unions in tech to demonstrate this. It will be filled with most blatant right wing canards that would seem absurd to your average European with and experience of unions or the worker protections they provide.

I’m all for data driven decisions. We just need to be more careful to dig into the details of the data. A simple excess mortality figure may not be relevant. Both covid and the lockdowns could have caused increased or decreased mortalities in other areas.

Eg if there was zero excess mortality, that alone doesn’t prove much either way.

If you've ever taken a course on American history, you'll recall that in the late 19th century some American newspapers started a bullshit war with Spain. The journalism industry has never been clean. Even Benjamin Franklin was using newspapers as a vehicle for overt propaganda. He created the first foreign language newspaper in America to propagandize to Germans in Pennsylvania. Journalism and propaganda have always been close siblings.

The debate is whether the arrest was lawful or unlawful. What unlawful purpose did the police had in mind when they arrested the journalists is of very little effect and does not warrant a discussion. If you want to prove the arrest was lawful, bring on evidence. For example, that the journalist was charged and convicted of a crime in relation to the arrest made here later. If there are no charges and convictions, and I cannot emphasize it enough because you seem to ignore it no matter how many times I say it, the video strongly suggests and I daresay even proves the arrest was made for not legitimate reason, and the governor apologized for it, I cannot see how you can argue in good faith that the arrest was lawful.
