> If UOKiK finds that CD Projekt Red acting misleadingly ahead of Cyberpunk 2077’s launch, and has not done enough to address the game’s issues, the developer could face a 10 per cent fine of its annual income.

Seriously?? 10 percent annual income for just a game that is somewhat broken on some of the platforms? Can we get this kind of fine for other companies (eg Facebook) instead of a slap on the wrist? Did Boeing pay 10 percent of annual income for the 737 max "error"?(of course not.) Bonkers.
In order to use a physical debounce switch, there are several steep challenges. You can imagine OP presenting to an audience of 14 people at Amazon Devices group with a slide titled "New BOM proposal" entailing 6 million devices x [$0.0273 (switch price at 100k qty) + $0.05 assembly cost] + $50k engineering NRE (650 engineering hours) + $35k tooling NRE + $22k FCC re-cert + 7k ESD cert + another $100k in various certifications from continental EU, JP, Australia, UK and Brazil. At the end, OP has to say "We love our customers, don't we?" followed by an awkward silence. RIP OP.

Very interesting. The dev kit is also very cheap. Did you learn those things through official documentation? or some other source?
Society is a social contract. I participate in it because I think we are stronger, safer, and better off together. But if your idea of a social contract is to disregard experts and the accumulated knowledge that we've worked centuries to obtain, then I don't think we are better together. In that case I think you are a net negative on the social wellbeing, and on my wellbeing, and I do not want to be in a social contract with you.

Working together and benefiting from each others hard work is not an innate right. It's a right bestowed by joining into a particular social contract, be that a national one, or a local one. You are saying to me that you will not pull your own weight. In fact worse, you will work against the common good. Thus I do not want to work together with you.
One exception is that Canadian talent can migrate to US with very little friction (both immigration wise and culture wise) but you can't do it from many other countries. For many valid reason someone talented living in China, Japan, South Korea may not end up moving to US, instead set up companies in their home country.

Posts like this one are totally unacceptable on HN, regardless of how wrong someone else is or you feel they are—and you posted a ton of these. We ban this sort of account, regardless of which politics they're battling for. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here.

Your recent posts have been using HN primarily for political battle. Please don't do that—it's against the guidelines and it's the line across which we start banning accounts (https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...), again regardless of which politics they're battling for. The reason is that it basically destroys what HN is supposed to exist for, which is curious conversation on a wide range of topics.
1. Without serious competition we will never know if their waning mainstream popularity would have diminished their financial success.

Limit M&A by denying acquisitions that would consolidate markets, like we did for a long time in this country. You don’t have to hurt startups if you have a little bit of creativity. Create different tiers of review, etc.

You cut down on hot money by reinstating the firewall between commercial banking/insurance and investment banking. It’s not getting rid of venture capital, but it does restrict the amount of money that can be levered by them.

2. Im not worried about hurting businesses that focus on algorithmic content. If their algorithms are feeding right wing propaganda to impressionable people I want them to go out of business.

3. An ad auction is no different than any other financial contract that gets sold on an exchange. The buyer sells a contract for placement, which an advertiser buys in exchange for a promise to pay. You levy a tax on this transaction to make the overall cost of doing it more expensive and to offset the cost of externalities created. I’ve thought through it plenty, but since it doesn’t feel like you aren’t asking questions in good faith or doing the least bit of research, I’m not going to bother taking you particularly serious.

> Science is not math; it has no proofs.

A couple of the earliest things I recall proving in physics classes: 1. acceleration due to gravity on earth g is the same ~9.8 m/s² for all objects whose mass is negligible compared to the mass of the earth. 2. if it weren't for atmospheric drag, thrown projectiles fall at velocities much smaller than the escape velocity would trace a parabolic curve.

In what sense were these not proofs?
You could attempt contacting steam and ask if they know how many attempts have been made from different IP addresses in total for login to your account. I feel like that's really the only way to verify what you're proposing. Steam likely has logs of all the IP addresses that attempt login to whatever account.

I'm skeptical of what you're proposing because it's not hard to design a system that freezes mass random IP login attempts to an account after 'x' low number of random attempts and then only allow the past successful IP addresses to continue with a successful login. As well, as do an email verification if the password is successful but being used from a new IP address.

Breaking up monopolies sounds good in the abstract. (At least, it does to me. Presumably that doesn't go without saying around here.) But these particular monopolies have the potential to make a serious positive impression on the world, now that they've finally chosen to act. Given the state of things we shouldn't rush to abandon that opportunity.

I haven't seen too much consideration of the potential (more the usual scaremongering) but here's something that popped up earlier along those lines. Social media is a lever for politicians. Why not take the chance to deny that to extremism around the world?
I don’t think this would be a problem in practice. Google search already does context aware searches. It already differentiates people searching for Apple the iPhone company vs the appples that you eat. It differentiates searches for programming strings vs weaving.

So in practice, I think differentiating the area of trademark is something that could be done.
In what concerns ARM and SPARC platforms, memory tagging is happening and being adopted by Apple/Google platforms, in what concerns Intel, it was yet again another from their screwups.
How do these people know this is legal? Seems like downloading ~50 terabytes has bandwidth costs, possibly contributes to denial of service, and it seems like potentially unauthorized access of a computer system to get deleted posts.

I use window separation and profiles in Konsole every single day and alarms are handy when needed.

I have a 4K display and terminal has it's own virtual desktop, separating a Konsole window into nested tabs is a must to simplify the navigation between tabs since you can switch to other groups by a single hotkey.

I use profiles to visually differentiate tabs for different purposes (e.g. ssh to hosts with master and replicas of DBMS, which I did years prior to [0] happened), some made for fixing production hosts so they have an infinite logging enabled, and one can alter hotkey schemes with those.

Alarms are just an easy way of triggering a notification when a task is done or failed, saves time and brain resources.
Trump has been one of the most censored individual in recent history, with his messages reaching the masses being distorted, redacted, misrepresented and counterattacked by routinely baseless "anonymous sources close to the matter" from the media.

If you can demonstrate your position via the scientific process then great I'm all in. If you can't then I'm going to side with those to try, even if their technique is less than perfect. Today our scientific experts are some of the very few who even try to follow the scientific method. I acknowledge that there are a small few outside of the profession who also try to apply science, but the number is so small that it's almost not worth mentioning.

The reality is that few even have the means to actually perform experiments. Certainly outside of computer science, that is true. It's unfortunate that the resources we allocate as a society towards scientific pursuit is such a tiny fraction of the resources we spend as a society. But I suppose that is more a reflection on the value of science to the general population than it is to anything else.
> The brevity of Stoicism makes it a poor philosophy.

That's just false :) It's not a requirement for great philosophy to lay everything out verbosely in prosaic arguments. It may be so in Analytic Philosophy but that's far from the only way of philosophy.

Many great philosophers are famous for being terse and that only adds to depth because of the possibility of interpretation and further thinking, which is what philosophy is all about (not to deliver answers).

Compare Heraclitus and Parmenides for two ancient philosophers who may be understood as two fundamentally different ways of thinking with their famous quotes "panta rhei" (everything flows, Heraclitus) and "and it is all one for me" (Parmenides).
yes, because the issue was not the site data transfer, but the idle SSH session(s) running the nc commands. When the idle SSH session got dropped, it took nc down with it and that stopped the transfer.

Yeah not sure I subscribe to MWI. It seems untestable and unprovable and not like science to me.

I don’t think your classical CPU analogy is really applicable here.

The wave function is exactly that, many values describing the probability of the particle in space. The act of measurement is what sets the value of the wave function. Take the classic electron diffraction experiment. It’s not the measurement that defines the wave-like property there.

Take tunneling through a potential barrier, why can the particle tunnel? Tunneling is a consequence of the wave function defining the probability of particle in all space.
You can claim victory or a draw in that situation.
Why should the complexity matter, so long as the computation is recognizable as such?
When an application sends your keystrokes (or an accidental/unintended paste) off to a third-party without your consent, I think it is fair to call that a keylogger.

> …by this logic any text field that does something with your input before explicitly pressing a submit button is also a keylogger.

I respectfully disagree, since there are many things a text field can do with input which doesn't violate the user privacy (e.g. local spell-checking, input sanitization).

My objection is with the automatic transmission of keystrokes to third-parties without the explicit consent of the user. Whether we agree to call this "key-logging" or not isn't as important.

We can both agree that this could result in the unintended sharing of very sensitive data—that's the point I'm trying to make. Cheers!
> Well, there's no science - except if one is a Platonist (and believes in the concrete, and even real-er than real- existence of ideas).

There's just the practice of science.

I disagree.

There are scientific models that make predictions and can be judged by the accuracy of those predictions. That is true regardless of how those models came to be--who built them, what credentials they had, how their peers regarded them, or even what philosophical beliefs they had (Platonist or otherwise). The models and their predictions, and how accurate (or inaccurate) those predictions are, are all independent of all that. Those models are science separate from how science is practiced as a human social endeavor.

So I would say the answer to the article's title question is simple: If the experts are basing their expertise on models with a good predictive track record, then yes; otherwise no.

I appreciate your trying to find it. Here's the link. [1]

The guest refers to the mismatch hypothesis, described by a Supreme Court Justice, as an "arcane argument" that is "really proven not to be the case". Then the other guest on the show laughed at the Justice (Scalia) and mischaracterized his statement. According to her, Scalia believes that "African-American people are stupid".

In reality, the mismatch hypothesis is about largely about preparation level. If you have equally intelligent students with large differences in academic preparation, the student that is less well prepared is likely to be harmed (in terms of GPA, class rank, likelihood to drop a well-paying major) when surrounded by other students that are more well-prepared.

If one of the guests or the host were even vaguely familiar with the concept, this mischaracterization would have been questioned.

I would also note that it is mischaracterizations like these (Scalia thinks "African-American people are stupid"!) that lead to further polarization. I would expect partisan framing like this on some news outlets, but it's pretty sad to hear it on NPR, on a show whose name implies openness to all perspectives.

> The justice system just moves slowly. Many people spend upwards of years before going to trial. This is nothing unusual.

I think this is one of the things I learned from Ken White on All the President's Lawyers: we read about legal system abuse here and there and it shocks us, but even the most common normal things in the criminal justice system like how long criminal trials take can be just as shocking if only you know about them.
While I don't sympathise with their point of view you should be careful not to conflate the few loud/visible ones with the majority going there. Some might want civil war, others go for their friends want to take a stance or hope that this will somehow lead to a peaceful handover of power to 'their winner'.

Parler was the top 180 website in the USA according to alexarank, before it went down the other day.

>>Maybe you end up with three new chans, but you end up with three smaller, more fractured chans. Organization and relationships will evaporate because people won’t have alternate ways of recognizing or reaching their friends, may not use the same handles, may not end up on the same sites, etc.

This is pretty irrelevant to anonymous communities. Mostly they just move to like boards, i.e. 8chan, 16chan, 2ch, 4ch, endchan, infinite chan, and more all have an /anime/ board. The point being that the board is more relevant than the chan site itself.

Part of me hopes that the perceived worsening is just an illusion brought on by the wealth of information constantly flowing everywhere now.
That maybe the world has always been this corrupt - or sometimes much, much worse - but now it's just harder to quietly sweep such things under the rug.
Not sure how much of that is just wishful thinking.

> I think that comes down to self-proclaimed experts vs experts as decided by their peers.

I think the correct criterion is neither of these: it's whether the expert can back up their expertise with models that have a good predictive track record. That's the real test of whether they actually know what they are talking about vs. just blowing smoke. Unfortunately, this criterion is hardly ever applied that I can see.
(Which is ironic, because the point of free speech, one would hope, would be to try to understand new viewpoints instead of yelling your slogans into increasingly loud megaphones. Free speech advocates who treat speech as an end in itself rather than as a means to some obviously useful goal like improving society are a large part of why there isn't as much of a public commitment to free speech as you would hope.)
The complaint (https://www.scribd.com/document/490433093/Rumble-Inc-v-Googl...) lists some specific scenarios where they expect Rumble results to show up first: the search phrase "dog videos on rumble", the unique title of a video which was posted on Rumble first, etc.

Even so, I very much share your skepticism that this is actionable or even improper. The idea that it's unlawful for your search algorithm to not translate "on rumble" to "site:rumble.com" would be... quite a precedent.
