But any shape can be made (almost) visually identical to another shape without changing the topology. For example a C can become an O if the gap becomes arbitrarily small.
The person who downvoted has to look out for themselves though. They may earnestly want to explain their choice so you can engage with their counter-points, but other observers on HN are extremely discourteous. Signaling disagreement usually just causes a flood of tribalistic downvotes or upvotes for in-group voting, as well as people disingenuously using the flag option, and spamming rebuttals, especially disingenuous calls for data or evidence or “citation needed” requests that aren’t actually in the spirit on engagement, just serve to DDoS real disagreement out of the conversation.

A silent downvote lets you avoid a lot of that, even if you respect the premise of the original post you downvoted.
There's an issue with your cert. Getting SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN on Firefox.

Edit: seems to be working now.
If you have an Android phone, yes, I suppose you can backup. But I don't.

There's no backup procedure for iOS. There's a migration, but the phone you're migrating from has to be working at the time. So if it's destroyed, you're SOL. Also, it's really buggy and has never worked every time I've seen it attempted.

The desktop instructions do not describe a backup. If you try to copy your old data over to a new machine in an attempt to preserve your chat history, you will break things. The procedure doesn't describe how to make things work, but rather how to unhose things once Signal has prevented you from doing what you want and blown up in your face to punish you. There is a way to export from the Desktop client, but it involves using sqlcipher and is an undocumented, unsupported, discouraged hack.
Are there any major platforms that give users a limited number of votes? How does this work? Are votes rationed constantly or by site usage (ie for every twenty comments you read you get one vote credit)?
Distributing an OSS app requires neither a domain name nor an SSL certificate. And even if you shell out for these, they cost me vastly less than an Apple developer subscription. For somebody who develops OSS just for fun in their spare time, doesn’t make (nor expects to make) any money from it, and would rather spend time and other resources on interesting stuff, the 100 USD fee is essentially a no-go. I don’t mind paying for my hobby but (1) I’ve got more than one hobbies and I’m not rich, and (2) I’d like to perceive that the money I spend actually gives me something. For my purposes, an Apple developer subscription doesn’t feel like it is.
Out of curiosity, is there something lower cost/better that employees who have recently quit or been laid off should look into?
Interesting. I could see myself opening a terminal (or 10) to perform some small scope of work, starting the timer, and then closing the terminals and timer once that task is done.
the title is backwards
States within the US are an interesting example however. The timber lands of southern states (e.g. Alabama, Mississippi) are some of the most profitable in the world, yet you have some of the worst poverty. I'm also thinking of the coal fields of Appalachia. And off the top of my head, major oil and gas regions are also relatively poor (e.g. Texas panhandle, the Dakotas, the Louisiana petrochemical alley).
I believe the underlying BSD is the issue here, everyone that says they tried to do it says it is an awful experience. Similar story for the problems with realtek Ethernet chips.
It doesn't surprise me, some fungus even thrives in radiation (a well known example being at Chernobyl) thanks to radiosynthesis.
What's a reliable company for multi-AP setups that also respect my privacy?
Ubiquity had that whole phone home scandal.. Eero I'm not sure yet.

I have pfSense for the routing but now just need access points. So far I've been using an old Asus ac86u on Merlin as an AP but the reception is not great in other rooms due to the fact that walls in my apartment are concrete with rebar.
> how seamless it worked on my new laptop. Everything just worked out of the box.

All the other sync / backup apps also work that way after installation.

I actually dislike Onedrive web interface look compared to the top competitors. Photo view often appears buggy when scrolling down (outlook.com file view also has problems). Sharing folders/files as a public link gives full access by default.

Both web Outlook and Onedrive do not seem to have received much updates in the past few years.
It's quite expensive though
I was worried this was another tech Trump ban.
flowchart.js – Draws simple SVG flow chart diagrams from textual representation
Of course! There is probably some work involved because every system works a bit differently. I have never really worked with Keycloak and also never with vouch-proxy, so I can't state any definitive answers, but asking on our slack or the GitHub discussion forums could help. And then of course, the docs :)
That's the surprising part to me. I'm not shocked mushrooms would grow in blood. Their air needs are pretty low, and might be solved by the ambient level in blood. Afaik the light is primarily to signal time of year to the mushrooms, they don't photosynthesize.

I am surprised the body didn't kill the spores off though. I'm very curious what portion of his symptoms were from the spores directly, and what portion were from the body's immune reaction going absolutely crazy.

If the symptoms are from the mushrooms and not from an immune response, that seems medically interesting. It might have applications in drug delivery systems, and in a long shot, maybe things like synthetic organs. Keeping the body's immune system from killing itself seems like a major hurdle to that.
Code signing isn't free. It never has been free, and most code signing certificates are 300-500/yr.
> I think the only thing that I would miss is the apps can dismiss notifications that are no longer relevant.

That's something I was thinking about a lot a few years ago.

I think this could work with a tiny email extension: If the email would include 2 extra header called e.g. "X-Revisable-by-public-key: <public key here>" and "X-Revision-signature: <signed sha512/256 hash of message>"; Then, a future message with the same message ID (or perhaps X-Revises-Message-ID:...) properly signed, would replace a previous message in the notification UI - perhaps giving an indication/view of the previous revisions.

A mail client that does not support this header would simply not dismiss the no-longer relevant notifications but would still be fully compatible/capable, and the "message read" among different clients would still operate properly.

The main thing that makes me cringe about using email for everything, e.g. things like delta.chat, is that I accidentally do "view source" on one-body-line messages: The modern overhead hurts my engineering sensibilities. Seems like Google easily adds 3K of envelope and metadata to a 120 character email. Acceptable as transport for a 3MB email with attachment; Unacceptable for a 6-char "ok lol" delta.chat message.
Feels like they're setting up for an acquisition.
Insync works well for Google Drive on Linux.
This is an interesting approach. Do you think some algorithm could be used instead or together with a human curator?
What about generating images not completely randomly, but with some initial image / program?
I think anything that does a controlled, specific, and consistent behavior is typically much easier to use in an experiment or utility. A laser is like a log statement for light.
This is an impressive list. Adding tags, categories would help in browsing ideas and repo faster.
FYI, I have no idea what "IC" means here. It is not explained or expanded anywhere...

As I was reading, I thought it could be "independent creator" or "individual creator"... but at the very end it mentions "your PM" which does not really mesh will with this definition.
We'll see. I hope you're right that this is just until the inauguration. But there's a segment of the left that wants to win by censoring the right so that they're the only voice that can be heard. We'll see if that segment prevails.
We don't know that Signal doesn't store data about users on its servers. Even the source code can't tell us that, because we don't run the servers.

What we do know is that programs like Telegram have to store data about users on their servers, by design. A big difference between the two projects is that Signal is carefully designed to minimize the amount of data the service needs to operate; it's why identifiers are phone numbers --- so it can piggyback on your already-existing contact lists, which are kept on your phone.

By contrast, other services store, in effect, a durable list of every person you communicate with, usually indexed in a plaintext database.
Agreed you shouldn’t have to agree with anyone you don’t actually agree with, but also tolerance (for _all_ people) is important. We should make an honest attempt to understand WHY these people feel the way they do, and try to address the underlying concerns and fears that motivate them. And if it’s not possible to do that, at least talking about them like they’re not all patently evil would be helpful in building better relationships with our neighbors.
Cisco didn't want a threat to their lucrative enterprise market.

Imagine if they kept pumping out updated hardware supporting DD-WRT over the years, and eventually captured 80+% of the home networking market. Now consider that, during that time, a generation of future networking engineers cut their teeth on hi-po Linksys home routers, giving Linksys a segue into the lucrative enterprise market as this generation of people started gaining influence.

This ended up being one of magical events that could have been the turning point for a small, unknown company to take on a giant, and win. Instead, the opportunity was squished through a smart acquisition by Cisco.
Healthcare needs to be disconnected from the employer. Public option and private and all healthcare benefits need to go to salary. It would make workers able to change jobs easier, businesses able to start and compete with others/countries easier, and would reduce ageism as well as going direct to consumer it would help the fixed pricing market of healthcare/medical services and supplies.

We don't get our auto/home/life insurance through work, why our most private healthcare/insurance? It is a legacy thing that needs to end and is harming wage increases, competition and worker/labor freedom.

Removing healthcare from employer responsibilities is actually pro-business and pro-worker and encourages the competition we need in that industry/service.

Side note: For some reason I really don't like Dropbox color schemes and fonts/typography. Feels like it was made in a machine with billions of AB tests but ultimately looks jarring. I miss the nice clean branding and the little illustrations.
It is not censorship, these platforms are making editorial decisions, and since they are making editorial decisions they should be held liable for content published on their platforms.
They say “NAMER-based employees will be eligible for up to six months of COBRA”. Note that by law, a former employee is eligible to pay for up to 18 months of continuation health coverage under COBRA. So perhaps they mean that Dropbox will pay the premiums for up to 6 months, but it’s awfully unclear as written.

(Also I assume “NAMER” means North America. It’s a funny way to say “The United States” in this context, given that presumably Canada and Mexico, which are in North America, don’t have a law called COBRA which is about this.)
The discussion is around a landlord/tenant metaphor.
And you think it may be just a translation problem...

But then you see this comment section and they actually mean it in a sense of biological essentialism. Figure, how much you have to unpack in every damn discussion... I would shoot myself twice, every day.

Da ist der Wurm drin.
Why can machine learning not recognize prime numbers? (2013)
It is not something that has to be shown in court beforehand. Amazon accused Parler of breach of their contract. That means the contract no longer exists. If a court finds that Amazon is the party in breach, they'll be liable for damages.

None of this is criminal law. It's contract law and it will be dealt with per the laws, procedures, precedents, customs, and traditions of civil jurisprudence.
When I was a child I'd often stare into the laser scanners at store checkouts in awe. They were so cool. Full of rotating mirrors and lasers. The modern handheld ones are a little less cool.

But, re: "why lasers are useful", it's in the name. They're a way to get a spatial and phase coherent light source that's actually high power. In the old days they'd have to take a mercury arc lamp and put a pinhole in front of it. The pinhole gave it coherence but traded away all the intensity.
Lower cost, sure any number of options on the market. I used https://www.ehealthinsurance.com years ago between jobs
Right! the keyword here is "Reproducible Builds". Basically once there is documentation about how to produce the release build, you can do it yourself and compare the resulting hash with the build distributed in the Store.
Generally speaking it does no come for free, but once you find a way (e.g. for iOS compiling with a specific Xcode version in a specific OS with some adjusted config) is kind of doable (except that Apple encrypts your build server side for DRM purposes, so you'll need a jailbroken phone to do something about it)

For Signal there is an open issue here for iOS [1]
and some documentation for Android [2]

Some nice work about it has already be done by telegram

Intel is in shambles. The whole 10nm thing is a fiasco at this point. Who could've pictured 10 years ago that Intel would've even considered outsourcing their fabrication? Intel's core strength was their seemingly unassailable lead in chip design and fabrication.

From various articles over the years it seems that what's happened to Intel internally is fairly typical: internal fiefdoms, empire-building, turf wars and the like. This is something you have to actively prevent from happening.

This is going to take someone with deep experience in fab engineering to figure out, not a bean counter. And it should probably involve a massive house cleaning of middle management.

And no the answer isn't just another reorg. Unless you actively prevent it reorgs become a semi-constant thing. Every 3-6 months you'll be told how some VP in your management chain you've never heard of let alone or met now reports to some other VP you've never heard of or met. There'll be announcements about how the new structure is streamlined and better fits some new reality. And 6 months later you'll go through the same thing.

This is a way of essentially dodging responsibility. Nothing is in place long enough for anyone to be accountable for anything working or not working.
Probiosin Plus Weight Loss
Probiosin Plus is a unique product with probiotic properties that effectively helps in supporting proper weight management. Thanks to the use of DRcaps® probiotic bacteria contained in the product are not neutralized in stomach acid, for this reason their actions are very effective.
I don't understand why slashdot's old moderation and metamoderation tools aren't in more wide use.

a downvote has to have a reason. votes are metamoderated to see if they are reasonable and if you are determined to not be reasonable, you lose moderating privileges.

Just gonna leave that there for you to read.
I think a key component of Gresham's Law is being missed. It's not explicitly called out in the article and critics here saying Gresham's law isn't equivalent are right that the article doesn't solidly make the case, but I think there is a case to be made.

High quality information and analysis is being sequestered behind paywalls. This is exactly equivalent to Gresham's Law, where the coins with higher material value are hoarded. High value journalism is being hoarded outside the free flow of common discourse.

The torrent of low quality information and engagement driven 'content' makes it appear that there is an abundance of information. In fact in depth analysis, informed opinion and investigative journalism have always been expensive. Until recently most people would pay for it (newspapers, advertising supported news channels, paid cable) because there weren't many free information channels. This made it relatively cheap per consumer, because there were so many consumers of it.

Now there's a torrent of social media and low value comment available free. This is the debased currency, and it absolutely is hurting old media style high value journalism, which is being hoarded behind paywalls. Readerships are contracting and so the price per consumer is getting driven up, so it ends up disproportionately in the hands of elites.
Samsung Announces Exynos 2100 SoC: A New Restart on 5nm with X1 Cores
I was only referring to the fact that Gnome developers get such a bad rap for being unfriendly, as the GGP stated.

The link was an interesting read eitherway and I can absolutely understand where the frustration comes from. The users' comments just flew over the developers' heads. Nonetheless it looks more like a breakdown in communication than willfully ignoring with deceitful intentions on the part of the developers in my opinion.
> I disagree, mega-corps aren't the problem. As Steve Jobs famously said: they're a feature, not a product.

I almost kneejerk downvoted out of disagreement. Mega-corps are _a_ problem, but not the problem here, which you astutely pointed out.

Dropbox didn't/couldn't innovate beyond their core product is clearly the issue here.

Additionally, most of what I find that companies use Dropbox for equates to Shadow IT. Something that mature corporations ruthlessly eliminate.
> it isn't a selling point to my mom or her friends

Really? That's surprising to me. I'd imagine that for the demographic of her and her friends, quality of life increases for their phones are far more material than for their computers.
Unschooling. That's an actual term/movement you can Google.

You pointed out there are great, interactive lessons online, but the problem is the syllabus. Forget the syllabus. Shouldn't the goal be learning rather than conformity?

Then the problem to solve is not schooling but childcare.
Probably asked to resign. If the business is continuing to fail, and the CEO doesn’t take responsibility, someone has to be sacrificed for the board, share holders, etc.
If it appears on a resume, it’s done for notoriety. If it’s fully anonymous and never appears on a resume, then I concede you are right in that case, but I think that’s an extreme minority of cases among the types of projects the thread is discussing.
That and everything falling off the first page. If you ended up on the second page forget it.
>You can't see comment scores other than your own

I wish you could also see the scores of direct replies to your comments, so you know if the replies are popular and merit being addressed.

As it stands now, if you see 2+ replies, and they aren't greyed out or responded to, you have no idea if they're heavily upvoted, or just got ignored.
Kimai has a function for teams:

In the case of Signal, I imagine people assume all of the following:

1. the protocol between client and server is setup in such a way, even if Signal wanted to store interesting information, they could not access anything interesting even if they wanted to (for example, messages), thus they don't store anything since it's useless

2. the app implements the protocol faithfully and this has been checked by people perusing the source code

3. the binary downloaded from the app/play store phone is compiled from the sources listed on github
Dropbox has not evolved over the last ten years. They’ve bolted on features, but as an admin the service is horrible to manage.

Case in point, the admin console is not user friendly. It’s so bad I can’t search for a file in someone’s personal shared folder. I have to rely on the APIs or a third party like BetterCloud to find what I need. When I talked to Dropbox about renewal for my company, we could pay an additional $20k-$30k to get a limited version of BetterCloud to get the admin features I want.

I’m also bitter because I interviewed there in their early days and they used my experience to get answers to problems they were facing on their team. My interview was free support for them and I knew afterwards the path they walked me down was intentional to get ideas on what problems they had.
That may just be the initial period after a user has signed up and hasn't engaged with enough content for IG to show anything under "Discover". They may use friends' preferences as a placeholder.

I know for a fact that what's on my Discover feed (surrealist art, UX/UI stuff, Newfie dog videos) is unique to me.
I was most focused on my career after a breakup. The structure of the work environment coupled with the reward is pretty unparalleled.

Other things I can think of with structure usually have a kind of endless goal that can't be spent at your discretion. Rehab, fitness, organized religion. I've never done rehab, but it seems to overlap with fitness where even if you gamify it with achievements, its not like a game at all because you have to do the same achievement the next day and forever.

The earnings, advancement, structure and distraction do have their place especially when your personal relationships and life isn't going the way you want it.
I ordered a router from Amazon when someone said it was running Linux. I received it, and gave it to my uni friend on Friday. On Sunday, he told me he found an exploit in the webinterface.
I would assume any IT-issued devices are full of spyware regardless of OS vendor.
It feels quite cyberpunk and dystopic
I've watched the "dead" and flagged submissions and from what I have seen it has mostly been advertisements, political blogs, sites that invoke emotional response. Can you summarize examples of other content types that were flagged, without linking to the content that was flagged?
When a workers' union calls for a strike it only works if most of the members support the strike. The potential benefits must outweigh the risk of hardship and inconvenience. Often the majority of workers support the strike because they are in a shared situation and will all receive some level of benefit if it works.

A consumer union, to have enough momentum to actually make the Googles and Amazons even blink, would need hundreds of thousands of members. That vast quantity would need to agree to collective action and then follow through. If the consumer union reps determined the best way to convince Google to make a change was to hit them in the pocket book then the majority of the union members would have to cancel subscriptions and deal with the inconvenience.

It is my pessimistic opinion that the general consumer base would not follow through on whatever action the union selected. In the unlikely event they did follow through, even a hundred thousand users dropping a Google product or leaving Amazon Prime would barely impact those companies enough to make them alter their policies or improve their service levels.
You have it backwards. AMD is steadily taking market share from Intel in both the desktop and server space. ARM is only a potential threat at the moment, with a tiny market share outside of mobile and IOT.

Granted, ARM is huge threat to Intel over the longer term, but AMD is taking market share now.
Fake flash devices are everywhere [video]
Not a threat, just pointing out what is obvious to anyone who has the faintest sense about how many people are upset, and how long they have been upset. The causes go back a long way before any of this, the “stolen election” thing is just the conflict finally bubbling to the surface.
