I’m curious to go back and read the actual ruling, it’s surprising that the summary suggests that members of the public in public spaces have some expectation of privacy— that seems to run in the face of what I’ve previously read about photography in public.

Is it the surreptitious nature of the recording that creates the issue?
Notably, they struck down a state law forbidding recording police in public. This is great! Police need accountability.

Now we just need some accountability for law makers. Who thought it was a good idea to ban recording police? What could the justification for that law possibly be?

> working in ad-tech is pretty much bad from the get-go

No, it's the same as any other industry. A single company or negative behavior doesn't define everyone.
More than you know. Break down the ad auction, DFP, ad exchange, Adsense, and see what insanity they have been calling business as usual. There are so many ways they’ve stole from the rest of the ad business with monopoly practices. This goes back to Atlas and why there is no such thing as a pure play ad server. Header bidding was the last best hope for democracy in the ad marketplace, but has killed the mobile webs batteries, bandwidth, and paved the way for AMP, which is another de facto ad monopoly.

I ran ad ops at a header bidding outfit serving in the 10 figure impressions each month. You’d see pubs be ecstatic to have 30% of their ad revenue be non-Google, with most closer to 90-100% sold, served, and tracked by Google.

They have the world’s most complete record of the thoughts of humanity for the past 20 years. They sell audiences of all ages to the highest bidder, take an auction fee, fees for ad placement tools, fees for ad selling tools, exchange fees, data fees, platform fees, mandatory minimums on giant contracts, and virtually no support. It’s a monopoly over billions of dollars and trillions of minutes of people’s time. And it’s one hell of an AI.
I followed that lead and read into your chrome notes, narrowing down between "first post" 2008 and "the end" 2012 - .. massive. Thanks for chrome on linux!
It’s not like Google starting a new framework and abandoning another every six months. GTK2 was released in 2002 and is still under maintenance.

At ~35 most people can fake it well enough that external validation is largely meaningless. Which quickly leads to a feeling it’s just fake and by 40 became disillusioned with work, disenchanted with relationships and detached from family responsibilities.
I can’t defend cutting support for CentOS 8. That’s super shitty and I don’t really understand the move.

The part I don’t think people really get is that if your goal was to have a fork of RHEL that was as close as possible to RHEL itself in absolute value that CentOS Stream is much better than CentOS is/was. CentOS always tracked far behind RHEL and now CentOS Stream will track closely in front of RHEL.

In 2020 why aren't you packaging your apps as containers? Yeah, it sucks that ibm killed centos, but depending on some single distro's version of libm or libc or whatever is not their fault it's yours. Doing your job properly in this case means shipping you deps with your application, and the easiest way to do that these days is with containers..

1) Donald Trump is trying desperately and very publicly attempting to overturn the results of a legitimate, constitutional, and legal election.

2) A coup d'état is defined as an illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power.

3) A self-coup is coup d'état by a leader who originally came to power legally.

3) Ergo Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election is an attempted self-coup

4) Few Congressional Republicans have condemned this coup attempt, and, in fact, seventeen Republican state attorneys general and more than half of Republicans in the House of Representatives signed an amicus brief supporting it.

These are all provable facts.
The things that make sites slower are ads. And 90%+ of those are served by Google which runs the biggest adserver on the internet.

AMP is Google solving for performance from itself, and costing a lot of time and effort for everyone else to deal with.
So RHEL is un-differentiated enough to be a commodity provider that doesn't need freeloaders?
I'm below 1600 to 1700 on lichess, though I don't play as much there. I've found that nothing beats playing games and analyzing them afterward. The analysis is first just using my wits, then with an engine. I'm mostly looking to see where I made a mistake or where my opponent made a mistake and I missed it. I build drills to teach myself what moves to play in given positions. I use chessable for that.

I agree with the commenter who said that 1200-level players on chess.com do come with opening prep and will try to catch you out with their pet lines. Obviously it's too much to learn refutations for all the crazy gambits out there, but it's worth spending a bit of time understanding openings. The fine article we're commenting on does not go too far -- even for a beginner, it's worth knowing the difference between a Sicilian and a Caro-Kan. Even just learning the first four moves of the common openings is worthwhile, because it will save you time and energy that you need for the middlegame.

I agree that learning deep theoretical lines is a waste of time. Most likely you'll be out of book by move five in an amateur game. So learn a small number of moves (ideally, with a good reason why that move makes sense, even if it's just to develop a piece) and have some idea of the common plans that each side has in that opening.
Nothing wrong with that, sure, but making comments related to ongoing antitrust litigation against company employing you, while not being any official spokesperson and not having your comments vetted by legal and PR, can be really, really detrimental to one's career if Google decides that it doesn't like your comments. Google is very explicit in its internal trainings to never make any public comments like that unless you're officially empowered to do so. You can say or write anything you want on HN... on the last day at your job.

It's a different suit on a different topic and there is a substantive article to discuss about it. I assume the courts will consider this case on its merits, so I don't see why we shouldn't.

Not the OP.

We have to clarify what you mean by "support multiple simultaneous beams". The SL receiver is half-duplex, so it can only send or receive at any given time, and, in theory anyway, it uses beamforming to communicate with just one bird at a time (if it couldn't beamform to within sufficient tolerance, then that would be an FCC no-no.) There's no theoretical reason, AFAIK, that it couldn't rapidly switch between birds, but the actual feasibility of that depends on terminal firmware, the ground network being setup to handle that, the arc between two birds, and whether or not the antenna's scan angle can encompass that arc.

The primary difference between the ground terminals and the antennas in space is the amount of power passing through them, but also their sophistication (primarily the beamforming capability.)
I got used to downvotes. There is no rhyme and reason on HN or anywhere else for that matter. Sometimes I think people just downvote to avoid facing the reality.

I understand it is not politically correct to say most cars are not the problem (or at least not the most of it).

In ideal world we would not be driving petrol guzzlers but instead have cars that run on electricity from our own home solar panels.

But the reality is that a well maintained car emits thousands times less harmful stuff than cars from couple decades ago. The new norms that automakers are facing are really crazy restrictive and sometimes hit the very limits of physics and thermodynamics.

The problem is when people get around these rules, drive unmaintained cars, drive cars that are way larger and more powerful than is needed or cheat by removing converters and installing them only for inspection.

Especially the last one. Here in Poland this is practically the norm and people treat this as part of life and feel proud they "saved". Then they complain we have bad air.
Ugh. Ok. I don’t have time to understand this for you, but think about it this way: if a Walmart employee makes $7/hour but where he lives he needs to make $15/hour to not fall below the poverty line, you know who pays the extra $8/hour? The government. With all of its overhead of managing a social safety net program. Do you want the government to tax you so that Walmart can underpay by $8/hour? In what way does it benefit you to be taxed for that money? And remember that Walmart has plenty of money from their current prices already to pay $15/hour. Their prices need not go up to pay a living wage to their employees. So really if you are for small government, you are for raising the minimum wage and letting the market sort itself out rather than running social programs for those whose employers fail to pay them.

Small businesses will have to raise prices. But owning wage slaves isn’t justification enough for someone to run a small business.

Lastly, why this is good for the economy: you are free to do your own research but here is why this works. Give a billionaire an extra $1000/month and he will put it into his offshore account and never think about it again, let alone spend it. Give a poor person $1000/month and he will instantly put it back into the economy. This is why trickle down economy doesn’t work but stimulus programs do. If it was the other way around all the US government would have to do is hand over a few billion dollars to like five rich guys instead of negotiating stimulus deals every time there is a crisis. If you think that every time the working class is suffering the best thing to do is to prop up the rich then I, again, cannot understand for you why that’s wrong.

Hospitals are hurting right now. They cant do elective surgeries which is what their profit is made. Without that they're financials black holes. Zuckerberg is coming in at a dire time with his request of 50 years of naming rights. Does he owe the hospital anything? No, just like no one owes those sick and dying patients anything. But it's not unfair to point out the thorn on this 'rose'.
Custom fonts, images that look nice on retina / hdpi screens, complex responsive layouts can all add up. Images are obviously the worst offender, but the rest all contribute.

Of course, aesthetics are a matter of subjectivity, so what is pleasing to one might be gaudy or bare to another. It is largely a matter of picking your audience, I think.

He might not be fighting for the little guy, but that doesn't mean that their interests in this particular case don't align.
I'm not going to argue about semantics but I want to be clear here: the basic definition of "backwards compatibility" is keeping the old thing working. Adding new features is often at odds with this because it can break things in subtle ways. You might be able to make some small backend changes, bringing back some of the major breaking changes to widgets or to the rendering model is out of the question.

If someone really wants to backport things like wayland support or emojis to GTK2, or make a shim layer to support all the old GTK2 APIs in GTK3, you could probably get people on board to take those patches somewhere. I know adding wayland support would not be simple and would probably break things as there are a lot of things in GDK2 that were direct mappings onto X11 APIs that have no analog in wayland. As the backports pile up you would have to weigh the cost of doing that versus just porting the application and getting the additional benefits of porting to a newer version. It would only be a total waste of time if there were no benefits to porting, but this is not the case.

I just doubt any of the GTK4 developers are going to want to drop what they're working on now to do these things given the risk it carries combined with the fact that there are workarounds for these missing features.
Ok but if the roughly 15 thermostats I have replaced in 8 buildings it has always been secured.

Creating a React Analytics Recording Library
The major issue I have with tabs is that there seems to be no way to tell Firefox to never ever, under any circumstance, create a new window for a profile. When switching tabs via mouse it is way too easy to accidently cause it to open a tab in a new window and I also occasionally accidently open a new window via the right click menu. Not once in at least 5 years (most likely longer) have I actually wanted more than one window for a profile.

I don't mind customizing things the way I want them, but it would be helpful if there was an easier way to share setting between profiles.
This whole territory is pretty much unknown right now. Whether we can have reasonably performant x86 containers is up in the air.
To be fair, how do you test this - as a system - effectively. The consequences of failure on a child seat are not like, say, a stand mixer. That being said, I suspect it has more to do with the manufacturer attempting to limit their liability window. It's wasteful right, but in a litigious world, I get it.

If your kids have friends, you'll probably find yourself driving around as many kids as that fairly often. I was raised in a family of five and my parents had a minivan because nothing smaller would have been practical. Even if you can technically squeeze 3 kids into the back of a sedan, good luck going more than 30 minutes away without fights breaking out. And even if your kids are particularly well mannered, they still won't be comfortable. If you're driving a few hours to visit family, do you want to have a headache from fighting kids when you get there? Or kids in sour moods because their sibling wouldn't stop elbowing them?
Chess is a very rich and pretty well-balanced game--that's what makes it so rewarding to study and to play. Even amongst modern computers that are miles ahead of the best humans, there's nowhere close to a single dominating opening or set of openings. On the human level, there is already far more computer opening theory than most players (including very serious, titled players) are capable of memorizing, so things haven't gotten stale yet.

Definitely. It’s a finishing touch that can be cosmetic and also adds your own unique flavor to how the car sounds, so it’s not just visual.

For me, cars have always been just as much about how they sound as well as look and drive. The rumble of a big V8, or a turbocharger spooling up.

People say this, but it seems like a false dichotomy. I use Emacs exactly because I choose productivity!

Emacs might take more time to configure, but that's time measured in hours or, at most, days—a tiny blip compared to the total amount of time you spend programming in the environment! On the other hand, you get a system that you can quickly adapt to your specific needs in a way that other editors do not really support. It's the perfect environment for "situated software"[1], and environment that can grow[2] with your needs and workflow.

Emacs's learning curve and configuration is an O(1) cost for an O(n) benefit. As long as you're planning to use it a lot—and we're programmers, we're going to use it a lot—even a small increase in the benefit is worth a substantially larger up-front cost.

I prefer chess 960 for the same reason. I love playing chess, but really I hate studying openings. All the opening principles (control the center, activate your pieces, etc) apply in chess 960, but you need to think about applying them rather than doing them by rote. This has actually done a lot to improve my traditional chess play. I've gone from terrible to mediocre.
