Ask HN: What is the non-Western equivalent to Red, Yellow, Green notifications
Red, Yellow and Green are often used as the colors in notifications, adapted from traffic signals - Red = Stop, major problem | Yellow = slow down, show caution, possible problem | Green = Go - so I'm wondering if this color scheme is now really international, or if there are any nations/cultures where the Red, Yellow, Green notification pattern are not used/ don't make sense / replaced by something else?

> Do you think it is a good idea to help Intel go bankrupt because it's shitty right now in comparison to AMD?

Of course not. But if either one of them has secret bad information, it's good for everyone to have it revealed to the public so the stock price can be more accurate.

Fraud may be rare but companies have negative info all the time.
Sorry for your experience.

Its a very difficult situation. However the issue is if Apple takes a view, they open themselves up to legal risk - they are not the court so its not their place to determine copyright infrigement. Rather, if you get a court order stating infringement, then Apple has to take down the offending app.

Whilst yours may be a clear cut case, it is not too difficult to think of examples where it is not copyright infringement or is very difficult to prove - is Signal an infrigement of Whatsapp?

I don't think Apple could have done anything differently, to some extent it is your word vs. theirs and the right medium to settle the dispute is the legal system, not Apple.
I believe this spec is incompatible with the Linux kernel page cache.

Imagine this scenario:

Someone plugs in a U2F microcontroller and copies a new U2F file to it.

The fat filesystem driver can pick any 512 byte sectors to save the data on. There is no guarantee they are contiguous.

Any 512 byte sector written involves reading a 4k page to populate the page cache.

It is possible for a 4k page to have a mix of 512 byte sectors that are part of the newly written file and those from the current.U2F from the device.

The page cache is written out in an arbitrary order.

When that page containing a mix of sectors is written out to the device, it will become flashed with a mix of the new and old firmware images, and won't work properly.
There is hardware available with the same microcontroller (ESP32) in a thick watch style case, but I don't know if anyone has ported meshtastic to it yet. On the face of it, power usage looks a bit higher due to the LCD display rather than OLED.

The author likely used the term "counterfeit" to stir up a controversy.

It's more like if I started lending you some rocks, and told you that each rock is always 1 Tesla share. You can always come to me and cash in that rock for whatever a Tesla share is. I'm not lending you counterfeit Tesla shares, but rocks. There's no counterfeiting going on.
Either way the stock price is influenced. In the first case, supply of the share is increased by the fact that A sells B's share, and in the second case, demand is decreased by the fact that instead of buying a share B buys a contract to have A deliver a share at a later time. Why is this a problem?
The Player Movement System in “The Witness”
No, first the towers in Punjab were attacked and when the company refused to replace the tower and cut service. The towers in Delhi was also attacked as protest. Jio is demanding compensation to replace the towers.

It's no cheap to replace a tower and someone has to pay up. The Govt has declined to pay for the tower. The protestors have blamed it on some rouge elements that infiltrated the protest. Some towers were managed by ZTE or some related Chinese entity that is also stuck in a limbo due to the Chinese ban and now they are seeking compensation for damaged towers as a way to recoupe their investments. Which is another reason why Govt wants to break this trend of paying for towers damaged by the protesters.

Ofcourse, none of this news can be authenticated. There are also claims that cell service was blocked in Delhi for the protestors as retaliation for destroying the towers in Punjab by the protestors. As the towers damaged in Delhi seems to collateral to the protest commotions rather than targeted attacks and less in numbers.

Currying favor with international press at expense of relations with military doesn’t help her party’s situation, or the people of Burma.

What is she supposed to do? Come out and denounce the military publicly, effectivey destroying what little relationship and understanding they’ve built with the military? That doesn’t accomplish anything. She already did that and sat in prison for 15 years.

Nobel peace prizes and moralizing westerners don’t help Burma. There’s little reason for her to care about what they think.

She’s been public about her strategy. She’s always said the only way forward is to build understanding and relationship with military. To work with the scraps given to them. To work through peaceful means. It’s either that or nothing. Rising up won’t really work, they tried that in 1988 and the military just murdered and jailed people until they stopped.

We have fast settlement for Treasuries. They’re T + 1 and heading towards real-time settlement.

For equities, however, there really aren’t many downsides to T + 2. At the same time, there are many advantages. On the balance, most people who have an idea about clearing are fine with T + 2, though it’s heading towards #
T + 1.

As for market makers, we have similar evidence for market made markets being more stable in crisis than order book markets. Cryptos don’t need this. They have never marketed themselves as being stable, and don’t do anything that requires price stability.

> So people are confused as to what their motive is

Economic prosperity for the populace is dangerous for a dictatorship. Myanmar is still a poor country which exports mainly things dug out of ground. If the situation changes and now the military is financed by businesses and tax-payer money, they'll have to answer to those.

This is bad news for the military leaders and their gang. They'd much better have a small income from these resources and a poor population than being ousted. (and probably face prosecution)
Under normal circumstances, their sale has a negligible impact on price. They're betting the stock goes down, and you're betting the stock goes up, but there's no need to be hostile. And they give you a nice interest payment for the trouble.

Right now I have multiple capture devices (front mic, rear mic, capture) which can be selected in alsamixer via "Input source".

Open a stock trading account. Put your money into SPY. Keep buying it. This is the S&P 500 market. Your goal is to get that 2-3% dividend. Reinvest that back into more shares of SPY.

After a while, it will start to compound.

In 5 years, learn how to write cash secured puts. This will allow you to make a little more money than just investing in SPY. There are more risks involved here, so keep your strategy conservative. Or if this is too complicated, then skip it, and just stick to investing in SPY.
Sorry, I got it wrong, so I tried to delete my comment. Leverage is when you're loaned money, so you can buy more stocks than you could with just your own money, with certain automated stops as security against loss for the creditor (such as margin calls). It's a deal between you and a creditor, and the stocks purchased remain real. A naked short, on the other hand, is when a broker is exploiting the system to make it seem like there are more shares available than there actually is. Thus when people buy a non-existing share, the money is deposited for a short time, but the purchase “bounces,” which again can create slippage and volatility (fake “liquidity”), depending on how the system is set up.

Making a keyboard that has the selling point of "being good on the Apple Watch" seems like a fragile business model to begin with, when Apple's goal should be implementing the best possible keyboard.

> Is it misinformation to assert that a person can have a “safe infection” when the vast majority of people do not experience life threatening infections? Isn’t that like calling all BLM demonstrations riots because a small number involved property destruction?

Yes, because we don't know which particular human will die from it outside of statistics, which is statistics, not specifics.

Saying "safe infections" is circular reasoning, because if someone dies from it, it wasn't safe (even if outside of risk groups).
I agree. Intense political pressure from half of the country would have immense negative consequences on whatever Fauci would try to accomplish. He would have instantly lost any credibility with half of Americans who listen primarily to Trump.

If Fauci divorced himself from Trump, and the two took opposite stances on masks, can we really conclusively say the public would be more willing to listen to the truth about masks? By playing "both sides" he gets to have greater influence, maybe not in the medical community, but certainly on the public at large.

If Trump took a harder stance on HCHQ and replaced Fauci with someone who was also pro HCHQ, do you think the public would be more likely to listen to Fauci who took an opposite stance?
Yeah this is the explanation I've seen people give.

It's kind of weird to distinguish "naked" shorting from this when they're functionally the same.

Would love to see a news source about tower damage in Delhi.

Even then, there are Airtel, BSNL, Vodafone (?) & some others too. Not every tower is shared. & private property damaged by any mob is I think never paid by government (that would take like million years). Most of this is insured.

I still believe that this was just a blackout ordered by Government. Same way it has ordered porn sites ban, & many other blackouts. I remember in 2018 my district in Punjab was blacked out of any network for 3 days, & when we drove across Satluj to Ludhiana, all networks were fine.

Gemini is fantastic. For anyone interested in experimenting with it without setting up a server, I've been working on a simple Gemini site builder that works over HTTP and serves the content via Gemini and HTTP proxy:

https://flounder.online/

In my view, Gemini's bare-bones text format is its killer feature. Non-technical users have been able to easily write Gemtext based on a few examples and a bit of experimentation. This gets users away from WSIWYG without forcing them to learn something as complex as HTML. And unlike Markdown, it is clearly-specified, universal, and doesn't compile to anything else.

Many people criticize Gemini for lacking this or that feature, and being basically useless for "practical" applications. I wrote an blog post about this:

https://alex.flounder.online/gemlog/2021-01-08-useless.gmi

Isn't it obvious? Fake reviews will be deleted, but ratings won't be. So disregard the rating and look at the reviews.
> Proof of Stake not only replicates the same dynamics that Bitcoin was designed to eliminate (more wealth -> more power in system)

Bitcoin may have been _aimed_ at eliminating the "rich get richer" system, but in fact it failed at it, as others comment below. It has been formally shown [1] that investors who have enough money to buy the most efficient ASICs out there earn disproportionately more, compared to smaller investors who can only afford less efficient ASICs/GPUs; in contrast, in PoS every investor has a fixed ROI for each one of their $ (regardless of their total investment); as also shown in that paper, this is the best you can hope for in an anonymous system. In other words, unless you can authenticate users and distribute rewards in a democratic (and possibly egalitarian) manner, the rich will always get richer, and the rate with which this happens is actually worse in PoW than PoS.

I do not buy it. Just use gemini:// rather than https:// to refer to that specific subset of https + html. Maybe also add a header to the server response that says x-gemini: true or whatever.

> It's difficult or even impossible to deactivate support for all the unwanted features in mainstream browsers

Just do not use mainstream browsers then. Make your own like you do for gemini. They address it a bit later with:

> Writing a dumbed down web browser which gracefully ignores all the unwanted features is much harder than writing a Gemini client from scratch

And I will disagree on this part, http 1.0 is actually easier to implement than the gemini protocol.

> Even if you did it, you'd have a very difficult time discovering the minuscule fraction of websites it could render.

Except gemini browsers render even less websites right now.

It seems to me that the gemini developers can't really think outside the box. This is further proven by their dependence on things like TCP, TLS, and DNS.
> If the number of share certificates being requested exceeds the number of share certificates existing, how would they do this?

When a stock has 140% short interest, there are net 40% of the float of holders who have loaned out their shares. They wouldn’t have the right to certificate until they called back their shares. If literally everyone asked for delivery, you’d wind up with the naked shorts needing to pay up to some of those taking delivery to settle their positions. If everyone refuses to sell, those naked shorts would FTD, and the appropriate processes would take over.

Long story short, nothing intrinsic to the DTCC creates net over or under allotment. Companies go private all the time, which is a functional case of all of a company’s shares being taken out of the DTCC.
