The problem for me is ignoring the idea of debating with the intent to find the middle ground for common good.
Populism is not invented by Trump or the radical right. Populism is an instrument for ignoring the debate by giving an "accessible storyline" to the people.

You can exercise your critical thinking by listening to these two gentlemen.

> Implying Americans are crazier seems odd

I'm not implying that (also, no need to imply such a thing, de facto knowledge at this point). I'm implying that the culture in US has a lot more UFOs in it, every major blockbuster alien movie has been produced in the US, as far as I know. Most if not all UFO sightings that gets reported around the world comes from the US. Flying experiments could contribute to that as well, which also go into the culture in the US of doing experimental aircrafts in order to achieve flight-superiority.
I'm with you, people use things that are easy to use and frictionless, for that reason I tried to make a friendly setup integrated into the default Mail app of iOS and macOS.

Using the S/MIME config, is quite transparent and easy, it's very boring and long to setup all the certificates etc.. but then is transparent to use.

I don't understand why people are concerned about their privacy for Whatsapp and Facebook and they're sending and receiveing "plain text" not encrypted emails. Sounds a weird thing if you are concerned about your privacy.
Simple solution, there are human reviewers for this kinda reason and if the rule is "Open Source Apps get a donation button" then not any random can loophole around.

Heck, if both Apple and Google offered a solution by which you provide the source code to build, any necessary secret variables for the build and then it gives you those extra privileges, it would be nice. But that costs money the open source apps don't have.
Seeing how the guy's prime motivator is flattering his own ego, no matter the cost to others, or the country as a whole, being cut off from all those multipliers must be painful for him. I can't shed a tear for that, but what I'm really uneasy with is that the decisions to ban him are not controlled by a democratic process. Where will that modus operandi lead us?
Hello HN,

This is a hobby project that I have been working on and off for the past few years. It started with a simple PoC [0] for sharing files through WebRTC using sound signaling to exchange the SDP between peers and I recently decided to extract the data-over-sound part into a standalone library [1] so I can use it in different projects. The current post is one such project: "Waver" - a simple application with the primary purpose to showcase the capabilities of my data-over-sound library. The main functionality of the app is to exchange short text messages through sound with nearby devices. All you need to use it is to enable the device's speakers and microphone. The app also includes an early prototype for sharing files with sound signaling. The app runs on iOS, Android, Linux, Mac OS and Web - I put quite some effort to make it easy to try out :)

The implemented data-over-sound protocol is quite simple. It is essentially a 6-tone FSK modulation scheme with special markers to mark the start and end of the transmission. The bandwidth is quite low (8-16 B/s), but I think the transmission is reliable. I've been testing it with a few devices across the room and it seems robust enough. The ultrasound protocols especially are very robust to surrounding noise.

An additional challenge I had to solve while working on the data-over-sound protocol was to make the encoded data sound good to the human ear.
Although the current sound is not the most pleasant thing to hear (especially the markers), I think it turned out relatively OK :-)

There are a few reasons about why I decided to implement this FSK approach instead of using an existing and well-known modulation scheme used by modems:

- My DSP knowledge is fairly limited

- Most modulations typically sound like noise (not very pleasant to the ear)

- Reliable air-gapped transmission seems to be much more difficult to achieve compared to over-the-wire

- But mainly because I find it more fun to implement something from scratch

There are similar solutions available on the market, but I feel they are difficult to try out. I wanted to make something free and very easy to test and see how it works.
The data-over-sound library [1] still needs some work, but it's getting there. I am hoping to find some fun and potentially useful applications of this, so I am looking for ideas.
Also, any feedback about the performance is very much appreciated.

If you decide to try out the Waver app, make sure to watch the 2 min video in the link [2] for a quick tutorial. Also, there is a small easter egg at the end of the video :-)

Nope. There's no such evidence.
"Small and protected class" has nothing to do with the message of the comment to which I have replied. Read it again carefully, "like a bar" means that it's nothing more than an example. In the comment a clear opinion has been voiced: private enterprises have right to refuse to do business with anyone whom they don't like.
"cheap and simple" - It's 3D printed.

If you're going for cheap and simple then the tools and materials should be available to almost anyone. This mean nothing beyond a trip to the hardware or variety store. I'm sure if someone were determined enough this could be made with things like cardboard, junk plastic strips, scrap metal, duck tape, wire ties and a little ingenuity. Sure it might not be as nice but it WILL be cheap and simple.
Add: ah I see what you mean. In uni differential calculus we learned about differentiable from above(1), from below(0), so I assumed RELU is considered "differentiable", as opposed to Cantor set or Dirichlet / Thomae's function...

Yeah you might be right about the antifa post, but the CEO should call them spammers and trolls instead of ANTIFA then, because the he's banning spammers or trolls then, not people specifically for being antifa. He also shouldn't be publicly posting in an excited way about banning them. Finally, only right-wingers and generally people who don't like antifa capitalize every letter of ANTIFA, so that just further makes this post horrible PR, and seems like he's gleefully banning political views he doesn't agree with.
> Debian's claims to adding value in terms of security and stability to those vendor provided packages are IMHO dubious at best.

That’s not true. The idea is that the distribution is tested and stable as a whole and replacing something as OpenJDK can cause a lot breakage in other packages.

There is a reason why enterprise distributions provide support only for the limited set of packages that they ship.

The problem with media the last decade hasn't been lies or omissions, but the fixation that truth somehow also needed a rebuttal, as if there's legitimacy in calling a duck a dog
Aeah, how much more proprietary and strange are the Apple API's going to get? They'll have control over the entire vertical, and can put all kinds of undocumented crap right in the silicon.
Even search engines cannot be trusted blindly. Browser fingerprinting is reality and nothing can be done to prevent it for sure. Duckduckgo is known to use Microsoft services and collecting user browsing data without consent. Once you share browser fingerprint with others services, it is trivial to identify your person in global database.
Your question sounded rhetorical and implied there was a giant fuzzy area between talking to yourself and openly inciting an uprising. It appeared that you were sympathetic to Trump and wanted to suggest his ban was ridiculous - if this part is not true, I apologise. In reality for most purposes it's probably not quite so ambiguous. However, Google is well known on HN for yanking your account and various connected services from under your feet, being a giant black box and offering little recourse or support. So the only possible response is what I originally said: if you're concerned at all you should unplug your device.
Sure, but isn't that happening anyway?

Not necessaarily, no. The example of Vienna has already been brought up, where the city outright owns something like 1/4 of of all rented flats, and (as of 2017), about 2/3 of all citizen live in municipal or publicly subsidised housing.

There are reason why it's considered one of the most livable cities in the world.
The "execution model" is so vastly different it's hard to even know what "JIT-compile hot loops from machine instructions to hardware" even means. I wouldn't even call HDLs "execution" - they describe how to interconnect electronic circuits, and if they can be said to "execute" at all, it's that everything runs in parallel, processing signals across all circuits to the beat of a clock (usually, not always).
Yeah, here I thought the same would happen if technology companies started banning people without any anti-criminal justification but again, here we are. Parler built a platform that could be used for bad, so instead of letting the country deal with the bad outcomes of the platform (like how we deal with Twitter and Facebook), the "modern" western world decided, without any intervention from the government, that Parler is not allowed to exist anymore.
People are finding this article odd, and some questions of "That's it?"

I think the issue steems from the fact that the title is editorialized. TFA article speaks about a way to improve online video calls, not a "cheap and simple way to mount a smartphone".

The gist of it is actually using your phone to display the speaker in the meeting in the phone, and everybody else in the laptop / computer.
https://svelte.dev/chat
Maybe back in 2016 - Ractive, Rich's prior framework (that inspired Vue in many ways) had a few users that checked out Svelte. The compiler concept was pretty new and before Svelte 3 it changed a lot.

But now it's pretty common to be using or considering Svelte amongst the same folk that were the first to try Backbone, Angular and React back when they were the new framework of the day.

> when that button is clicked by, perhaps, only 10% of the users

10%? I think FOSS developers would be extremely happy if even 1% clicked on that kind of button. I reckon the actual stat is closer to 0.01%...

This is absolute scroogerism from our mobile overlords. We badly need a really-open alternative to the Google/Apple world of feudal taxes.
> Debian policy is very sane (no network access during build)

openaSUSE has that policy, too. And I’m pretty sure the same applies for Fedora.

You don’t want to rely on external dependencies during build that you can’t control.

That would be a huge security problem.
I haven't noticed EPUB suffers from bad support. I like its principle (just a markup language), the two problems I came to see: 1) handling images, tables... objects that may need to be cut are cut at the expense of the ease of reading. And 2) no handwritten annotations.

But you're right: deep down, both depend on the implementation, not on the format itself so you could actually blame the support. (Yes, I somehow changed my mind in the process of writing this comment.)
I guess the question is what you mean by "open banking". Initially, in the UK, that phrase referred to the FCA's implementation of the PSD2 requirement for banks to allow a secure mechanism of access to third parties. I think that this definition of open banking has already regressed post-Brexit, from the absence of passporting. UK firms and banks are no longer able to interoperate with EU firms and banks, and PSD2 no longer applies to them.

Another definition may be domestic API access to bank accounts, which I agree will continue to be policy in the UK. It won't be PSD2 open banking, though.

Tips for Creating a Convincing LinkedIn Company Page for Your Business
I personally found it interesting and I assume that will give some kick for Svelte. I personally have experience with React (CRA, Next.JS), Svelte (and Sapper). While I loved Svelte experience, Next.JS blown me away and unfortunately in stateofjs one was in selection list while other only could entered by user.
I would recommend a second hand business Dell or Thinkpad with at least 16GB and a SSD.

If you would rather buy new, think about USB ports --especially if you have an external keyboard.

I have had less problems developing on Linux than other devs using Macs but if you also want to develop for IOS then a Mac is the only choice.
> Or did they manage to use multiple cameras to create that "Telewindow" effect?

You are right to be confused. The 'how we got there' section seems to be tangential at best to the rest of the content and can safely be ignored. It may have been added in as an acknowledgment to their sponsors on the past project perhaps.
It's a skill probably worth practicing.
The link leads to a paywall. Great.
It’s also not very Debian-specific. It applies to openSUSE as well, for example.
PSD2 doesn't even mandate APIs as the mechanism of access!
Nio Unveils New ET7 Sedan, Battery Pack to Take on Tesla
While Apple isn't right on everything, they are a business, and they have the responsibility to decide what they will provide and what they won't.

If they can't change X because it will screw over critical application group Y, then developers can complain as much as they want until they have some practical way to deal with that. If they were constantly screwing over Y, where Y was different depending on the problem, they could eventually screw up all of the apps, users, and developers.

Now you have me interested, which fact would that be?
React had a fraction of the people using Angular back in the day. Give it time. Svelte is where the puck is moving.
They are asking for suggestions, perhaps these 2 other compilers were suggested?

By the way you should be aware there is 100% no requirement for Apple to defend their choice for a compiler. They can choose whatever they want for any reason or no reason at all. If they don’t choose your favorite compiler it’s not some kind of evil conspiracy.

They made a choice and published a document describing their thought process and you can take it or leave it.
Many years ago I used something called "dogpile" that simultaneously queried several (around 10 I think) search engines and then returned the results retrieved.

Not quite what you are asking, but similar.

Perhaps more interesting would be a search engine that simultaneously checked in different legal areas and used the differences to identify where people or organisations have tried to use the law to suppress information.

Here in the UK we used to have a situation in which Scottish versions of newspapers sometimes contained news that had been suppressed here in England. (Our respective countries have different legal systems and sometimes there would be legal rulings in one or the other, but not both).
> Didn’t realize people on HN rationalize sedition and insurrection too.

It's not sedition or insurrection to wait your turn and speak out in Congress that the results for a State are invalid. That's exactly what the Constitution stipulates you should do. It wasn't a crime or an insurrection when Pelosi did it and it's not a crime now.

If you want a word to describe then versus now I'd go with hypocrisy.

On the wider topic, it's sad that people's biases have become so blatant against others with different political views that they interpret every comment in the most disingenuous light, with the dumbest of assumptions. One does not have to call out "Violence is bad!" in every comment or statement that they make for it to be true. It should be assumed as that's the default for any sane individual in modern society.

So, yes violence is bad. We all know that. But unless you can show me where Cruz or Hawley actually committed acts of violence or directly instructed people to do the same, talk of them being guilty of insurrection is totally out of line. If telling your supporters to "March to the capital and make your voices heard!" is an insurrection we're not going to have room in our prisons.

The trial served as a test of the so-called amyloid hypothesis. The idea is that Alzheimer’s is intimately linked to the accumulation of amyloid in the brain; if amyloid accumulation can be prevented or reversed, the disease may be prevented or cured.

Pharmaceutical companies have spent billions of dollars testing anti-amyloid drugs to no avail...

(Dr. Daniel Skovronsky, drug maker Eli Lilly’s chief scientific officer) has been hoping for 25 years for definitive evidence that the amyloid hypothesis is correct.

Perhaps they turn hostile because of macOS users. Such users have submitted sloppy this-works-for-me-style build patches to my project, which later were deemed incorrect by actual macOS experts. I had to do everything over again.

Then I was rudely accused of not using cmake, when autotools perfectly support cross builds (better than cmake on Linux).

It is not my problem if a purported Unix does not ship gcc or if clang cross builds are painful. Go and install gcc!

If Apple were interested in being supported, they'd fix their tool chain and provide free testing infrastructure to OSS developers.
Trump is an employment-at-will advocate (to the degree that he advocates any consistent position), right? So this is someone who worked for free for a political campaign whose goals included permitting firing people without reason. Who is later fired without reason, and unhappy about it.

Being fired without reason is awful, but someone who has volunteered for a campaign like that has little moral standing to complain.
I'm not sure it's fair on a developer to take a single comment on a Github issue and post it to HN as something worthy of discussion here. It might be a serious remark about their state of mind, or it might be a flippant comment made after a long day. We can't know, so we shouldn't really weigh in on that specifically.

More generally though, if you're concerned about project owners burning out and giving up on the things you depend on, how about supporting the project financially, or with contributions, or just with encouragement. Adding a 'thumbs up' to a release or a fixed issue, or posting a 'Thanks' message goes a long way. Better yet, raise a point about the value that the project brings to the company you work for and suggest they do corporate sponsorship. That's likely to be more money, and it'll continue after you've moved on. This is how we can all help open source maintainers avoid burning out.
Yeah, I'm wondering if my next work computer will be something different after almost 20 years of working on NeXT/Mac OS X/MacOS because I'm not sure general development will continue to be viable on the M1s.

I think we need to be careful with overreactionn on both the left and the right. For example simply looking at someones actions overreacting to it and calling it disgusting and then saying that whatever they did is absolutely irredeemable promotes a toxic political culture. This kind of intolerance of other viewpoints is part of the reason we are in todays mess.
