Exactly. A lot of people think this is hypocrisy but this is exactly what you want Facebook doing.

It seems like a week doesn't pass that there isn't news of yet another scraping/dark-adtech firm exposing hundreds of millions of these types of records[0]

If you think Facebook are bad, these companies are an order of magnitude more evil, and you're never going to hold any of them accountable because they don't care for regulations.

edit: The threat model here is really concerning. To build user databases legitimately takes a lot of effort and funding. To do it via extensions and scraping requires finding browser extensions that have a lot of users and loose permissions (usually https://*/\*) and acquiring them for cheap, pushing an update and then just watching the data roll in.

The only recourse is further lockdown of browser extension capabilities (which also punishes good apps like uBlock Origin), purging extension stores (which also usually traps innocent players) and/or taking legal action as Facebook are doing

I see. It's a really wide range of licenses then.
Personal experience agrees. I'm over 50. Started lifting weights regularly about a year ago. Lost about 15-20 lbs of fat. Consuming way less beer and junk food. Have not had levels tested, but noticing more signs of increased testosterone, increased libido, waking up with an erection, etc.
I was arguing against OP's case claim that Chinese is a "syllabary".

But even then your example is far more cherry picked than mine. Translated your phrase means "is it not theirs". It doesn't have any common nouns that aren't pronouns, adjectives, or even a verb that isn't is/是/係. You also managed to do something I couldn't even and provide an example where every word had the same exact grammatical meaning and were arranged in the same order in both examples. Really helps my point about logography more. If Chinese were ideographic and not logographic those words would be written the same. They're not because of differing etymologies.

The fact that you can only find colloquial examples that are significantly different is why it's a dialect. AAVE or Appalachian English are also near incomprehensible when spoken/written colloquially. Hell, I could even make the dumb arguement that liberals/conservatives speak a seperate language with something like your example. "was he Latino"/"were they latinx?"

Here I found the following sentence on a Cantonese bbs.

"推普滅粵係中國政府堅定不移的國策"

Perfectly valid Mandarin except for 係/是. You can't claim that a bbs comment complaining about the promotion of Mandarin, written on a forum dedicated to Cantonese of all things is formal language that's "tending towards" "mandarin".

You wrote: "If we removed everything that confused or angered people, it would be a full-time job"

If I rephrase it as "Let's keep the Nazi pictures that confuse and anger people because it would be too much work to remove them", does that help you understand why people aren't happy with your decision?

Many mega dose vitamin supplements are associated with higher cancer risks - folic acid and beta carotene. Paradoxically, the same vitamins are known to reduce cancer risk when obtained from food sources.

The reasons behind this are poorly understood, and it's possible that confounding factors are to blame. But either way, nutrient rich food is exceedingly easy to obtain for mid-to-high income people in developed nations. For this category of people, vitamin supplements are almost completely useless and potentially harmful.

To be clear, I wasn't asserting that Eth was less valuable as a result of the DAO reorg (quite the contrary actually). I was merely pointing out that a reorg occurred.

Thank you for the education on the bitcoin reorg, I didn't actually know that and agree that it's orthogonal to the trust narrative now.

My broad point was that the trust is not in the code, it's in the community and their policies.
The Titanic was a state of the art ship. It still sunk.
From memory, there weren't as many obese people back in the 80's/ early 90's. Being really heavy was a thing that made a person stand out.

They were until 2003 when they were classified as information services. The FCC then enforced net neutrality rules by penalizing ISPs whenever they broke them until 2014 when court ruled that if ISPs are under Title I, the FCC has no control over them. In 2015 FCC reclassified them back as Title II, in 2017/2018 Pai reclassified back to Title I, but multiple states (I know that at least California and Washington) implemented their own net neutrality laws.

Also, even though aquafaba from freshly cooked chickpeas also works well, I'm guessing that, until recently, chickpeas weren't super common in the part of the world where the European pastry tradition developed.
Assault rifles, certainly, were already superior to offensive spells in 1997.

Cell phones existed, but they were just phones and few people had them. Now everyone walks around with this multi-tool that's of comparable utility to a magic wand. Phones now have a flashlight, camera, calling, video chat, maps and navigation, Google, real-time language translation, etc. The Harry Potter series doesn't have magic versions of all of these abilities specifically, but they all seem like things that could have seemed magical in 1997. In 1997, you might think having a map that updates your position live, or can automatically find the nearest burger restaurant is really cool and magical.

If you've ever fantasized about what it would be like to live in a world with magic, here's one perspective: we do live with magic, and you get used to it.
This reminds me of an episode of This American Life from 2002. There was a segment about a guy who had extremely low testosterone:

I'm not a gamer, but why not support a company like Adafruit that creates portable gaming solutions like the PyBadge that aren't locked down? They start at $25. Granted, they don't have Super Mario Bros on them, but I'm sure there's lots of great software that has been written or could be written for it. You can add a battery and a 3D printed case.

This is just one example. I'm sure there are many more. I don't work for them but I like their products.

working on https://testflight.apple.com/join/NPwgYK3H which is still in beta :) its a location based discussion app basically you can talk to people within ~2km of you. I thought it would be a nice to have during Covid for people feeling a little lonely. Would love to hear what people thing :)
A browser extension for creating unions/campaigns, that can collectively decide whether to e.g. boycott a website. If they so decide, all members of that union will, when visiting the page during the time-period of the boycott, see a message explaining the reasons for the boycott instead of the site.

(Or the union can decide to display a banner with a message at the bottom of the page, if a full boycott is too strong.)

Eventually the idea is to allow for a more integrated discussion about websites _on the website itself_ (i.e., forums with threads for pages/sites, accessible from that page via the extension, so that starting or participating in the discussion becomes easy).

I think a lot of the difficulties we have in collective organization in the realm of the internet can be ameliorated with a tool of this nature. Think of what it would take to effectively signal something to facebook. How would you find people who might have similar demands as you to organize a boycott? How would they find you? How would you remember about the boycott? How would Facebook know what the "canonical" set of demands are?

The work so far is here: https://izens.net/ (and on github: https://github.com/izens-net). There's still a lot to do, but a basic version of the browser extension already works.

(Other people were involved too, and some did in fact more work than me, in case the tone above suggests it's entirely me work.)

Bullshit. A great number of those protesting on the left/progressive side during the fairly recent BLM marches were peaceful people legitimately angry about police violence, but more than enough others used the same starting point as a launch pad for mass riots, burnings, lootings and the promotion of extremist (but leftist extremist) political postures that were little different in their love of overthrowing legitimate institutions from anything recently done by the idiots at the Capitol. In terms of sheer scale and distribution, the former protests had much more violence to them than more recent right-oriented protests. Emotional attachment to a certain ideology is no excuse for claiming two obviously related things "ain't even the same fucking sport". They very much are, but from different teams.
It is not 'asinine' if you're worried about cost, size, and weight. An all in one device is going to be larger, heavier, and cost more than device that relies on a smart phone.

The carbon maths referenced by other hn users were very interesting, but they didn't debunk anything in the article. What specifically about the article did you find misleading?

It looks like Amazon is likely in violation of it's contract with Parler. The contract requires that Amazon notify Parler of any problems and allow a period of time to correct, which Amazon did not do.

There's a not unreasonable chance that Amazon will lose here.

I'm working remotely for my startup I built in the USA, so I don't know personally what it's like at companies here per se, but as the other commenter said, wages are considerably lower on average - though I've heard that it's generally higher than the wages in Europe. Seems that $40-70k is a fairly normal first job wage for a bootcamper for instance.

The culture at companies is extremely dependent on the company - a traditional employer might expect the prototypically Japanese extreme deference/obedience to hierarchy, but it also seems that there are plenty of companies that "get it" and don't play that game, as well as the full set of FAANGs and foreigner-run companies that follow a totally different set of rules than the old school businesses here; and it's also subject to change considerably now that model companies like Toyota are moving to merit- instead of loyalty-based promotions, but that kind of shift takes a long time to take hold.

Your job options are much smaller if you don't speak Japanese, but jobs exist, I know people who have gotten them, and they tend to be in the international- or international-style companies. Wages for foreigners strangely are generally decently higher than for locals, I hear, even if not knowing Japanese is more of a handicap than a help lol.
Unless she's allergic to the sulphur compounds, you may really enjoy Kala Namak. It's a traditional asian salt which contains sulfuric ingredients and it makes everything taste like eggs. (It's not heat stable tho.) With avocado you get something that tastes and feels like egg. A sulphur note is also very typical for non-vegan food, as animal protein decay releases these molecules at any stage. I do a modified version of the kinky vegan "Mett" (german, raw minced meat) based on rice cakes and tomato extract (don't judge it before you tried it) and the sulfuric hint really adds to it.

It does help. Any given action will modify a fairly small part of the overall state (at most around .01% of it). But what part of the state it can modify is fairly arbitrary based upon the action. Your dependency could be dataA, dataB, then dataC. Or dataC, dataV, then dataA. Which, if you isolate into processes could create races and/or deadlocks. They would be very unlikely, but they could still happen.

This is why I went with software transactional memory. In the generally unlikely event that there's some overlap, the changes will just be rolled back and re-done.

"Anything space based and big enough to rival or exceed planet sizes would take some very interesting engineering and management."

Actually I think this would be quite small and manageable.

A space shade shades more area as it moves further away from the Earth. Further, the percentage of solar energy we would want to mitigate would be relatively small.

A modest sized shade made of reflective foil, in a solar orbit interior to the Earths orbit, could probably be done quite cheaply.

Another example of HN being amazing. In the interest of playing too, I did some work on reducing audio latency in Android, but that all predated AAudio/Oboe, which takes that quite a bit further and makes at least the Pixel devices a plausible platform for low-latency audio collaboration apps as suggested in this thread. I for one would love to see that happen - I miss singing hymns on Sunday mornings.

I am working on https://hackerspad.net which finds leading alternatives to softwares,reviews and comparisions for your favourite app or software. I have been working on it since April last year learning PHP, MYSQL, Nginx, Wordpress, Redis and so on. I am a salesperson by trade.

When I was a VPE at a mid stage startup, I tended to ignore 99.9% of these pitches.

Except for one. It came through a trusted contact, and he specifically wanted to intro me to a founder who had built a data security solution that he truly believed in. Out of respect for him, I took the video chat with the founder, and included my head of security on the call.

The founder's pitch was amazing, and I knew I wanted to use her product. She identified a problem that we definitely had, had built an elegant solution for it, and could demonstrate value very quickly in a 30 minute video call.

So if you want to get a VPE's attention, build something great but leverage someone in their network to warm up the intro for you. It works wonders.

We purchased her product within a month and implemented it within 2 weeks. It's now a core part of how we secured data internally.
Being eventually eaten by a predator is fairly probable part of any birds life.

I am opposed to allowing the markets to function, and believe the parent post is overly dismissive of the efficacy of enforcement as a deterrent.

I intended to call out the folly of their idealism - "the war cannot be won" - the Feds don't have to win a war. Every battle they win destroys the lives of the people foolish enough to be involved. Once you're in their sights it's only a matter of time before you slip up and then you're done.
Yeah this is exactly what I was thinking. I am certainly more put off by $50 than N minutes.

On the other hand I often base my purchases based on "Will this $50 spend save more than N minutes of my time"

For example a top-filling humidifer may cost $50 more than a bottom-filling one but I spend an extra 1 minute fighting with the bottom-filling one and cleaning up water spills so after 15 uses it makes up its price difference.

I just finished hacking some "smart" behaviour into my old doorbell chime.

The sound of the chime ringing is picked up by a microphone connected to an arduino-like device. A small script is executed which results in my Alexa devices announcing that someone is at the door.

All the modifications / additional hardware fit inside the existing chime housing. It's been quite fun learning about electronics (For example, the chime is powered by 16v AC, but the microprocessor requires 5V DC) and writing the software for it (while admittedly is very simple) was challenging as I'm not familiar with C++.
