> On Twitter, this has been exceedingly shorthanded into “tan suit”. One party is so invested in conflict that they invent it by manufacturing a scandal out of a fashion choice.

Things like covfefe and trump's orangeness and tiny hands come to mind. Or Biden's stutter meaning he's senile, or at least it did until Bernie dropped out. After that, it was only something those scandal-seeking republicans did. Both sides' social media pounce on anything and everything (and then traditional media follows).
As a long-time Linux user, I cannot remember when it was the last time I used LibreOffice.

I have been using the free-but-not-opensource WPS Office for years, and it's great. Lightweight, featureful, works a lot better with Microsoft formats... no reason for me to ever touch LO again.

I actually know some amateur traders who act on such things in a discord chat I'm in. They have their own algorithm that runs against market data but wont share it. It seems easy enough - when lots of volume moves in a relatively short time period, it shouldn't matter who the purchaser is. An algorithm should be able to catch on. Thoughts?
So being a small company?
An island at the edge of the world with more sheep than people is not at all comparable with the US or Europe.

If they'd acted early and decisively like the countries you mentioned, the outcome would likely have been better. But it would still look very different from those countries.
Yeah, but uh, what about heat death?
So you think it is value added to society for a person to be able to murder someone?

I understand it fine. It's objectively wrong.

Imposing a punishment is PRIMARILY a preventative action. The threat of being thrown in jail or even executed is not to retroactively deal with the situation, but to give people an incentive to not murder. If it didn't discourage murder, then people would find a different way to dissuade people from murdering.

How is it tyranny to curb a person's ability to murder? Or you trying to argue that allowing people to murder others is a net gain for society?
WHO experts who are investigating the origin of the virus visit Wuhan lab
Why would it imply that?

> The role of viruses in evolution is almost mainstream now, it is much more likely that virus was just a method for ancient extinct organisms to exchange genes

Of course it is.

You seem to be arguing with a straw man.

YouTube moderators are obviously the highest experts in the field of medicine and usually every field. They should be deciding what get seen, promoted, or blocked because they have done the hard research and I have no doubt they have read at least one Snopes article on a subject written by someone who is also clearly an expert in the medicine, not a journalist that may or may not have visited the CDC website for guidance.
> no final nirvana language.

There isn't one...yet!
>That's almost exactly symmetric to the Republican situation

Is it? Do you really think that if Bernie won in 2016 and then lost in 2020 he would call upon his supporters to storm the Capitol?
I hate to respond to this "rigged" word but the markets are rigged except not in the way you think. If you try to bet on value plays you will never succeed. If you bet on the stocks the hedge funds support, you will succeed. Go against them and your account will just die. Learn to see what they want and that's how you join the house. It's just hard for a regular person to understand that.
We have progressed to produce value. Not all motion is valuable.
I'm curious too. Does this mean data is first normalized into this "columnar format" as the primary source and all applications are purely working off this format?

I do see yet clearly how the data is being transferred if no serializing/deserializing is taking place if someone here can help fill in further. It almost sounds like there is some specialized bridge for the data transfer and I don't have the right words for it.
I could never get into RSS. It just seemed so crowded and chunky with all my other notifications blasting me I'd rather just seek it out when i wanted it. It's a cool concept and j love the idea but I'd rather have compartmentalized with different sites than an all in one.
I suspect it was web sites that killed RSS by trying to monetize it.

I quit using RSS when sites stopped including full articles and instead just posted teasers.
That is not a fact. Every technique required to build the pyramids has been demonstrated using simple technology available at the time. There is no need to make up fantastic stories without evidence.
I have promoted Open/LibreOffice among humanities and social sciences colleagues for around 20 years and have seen zero uptake. The problems are 1) they just accept whatever IT puts on their office machines, and 2) their primary user concern is compatibility. They not only need to stay on Word, but they generally need to be all using the same version. I use only LibreOffice and it does cause problems when exchanging documents.
“a needle will displace dust particles while (obviously) a laser will not.”

I don’t think this setup will displace dust particles, but that’s not completely obvious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_tweezers: “The trapped particles are usually micron-sized, or smaller.”

I think the smallest dust particles are small enough to be manipulated in an optical tweezer.
Agree. I'm especially fond of his live performance at Shelly's Manne Hole. I never tire of this.

This topic in particular is very dear to my heart since I learnt the shuffle as a kid, and it was wonderful to rediscover it in a new light with some math background being an adult.

For those interested, the shuffle is also called "faro" shuffle and was likely invented to cheat at a game with the same name.

There's a wonderful book "Magic Tricks, Card Shuffling and Dynamic Computer Memories" that describes the mathematics of perfect shuffles, highly recommended!

This would cut off pretty much all free hobbyist-built apps that have no intent to monetize, but actively develop and update. The $100/year Developer Center subscription is bad enough! If I’m releasing once a month, and making zero dollars, $1,300 a year is excessive—I just wouldn’t develop the app in the first place.
Huh, TIL. Thanks for the links.

It's worth point out that AB5 passed 61-16 in the state house, a 79 percent yay vote. So with your proposed 3/4 supermajority it could still be overruled by the legislature. And of course this means 2/3 is even less of a hurdle.

I write my blog mostly in Rmarkdown from Emacs using ESS/polymode. Mostly works well accept for some markdown-mode induced bugginess.

The original fansub
I still have yet to hear a compelling argument for this not being a pretty transparent pump and dump by some whales, institutional investors, or some mix of the two using WSB and associated social media as a mechanism to a) jack up the price, and b) keep it high while they exit their positions. There is a mature market for reddit accounts and reddit upvotes. It would actually be really strange if there had already not been at least one major instance of institutions or other sophisticated actors using social media to move prices for an options payday. Whats the argument that this isn't the case right now?
Thanks for the last link! I didn't watch that one

We've sequenced a lot of RNA in the past decade. A lot of that were extracted from neurons. I don't think we've seen evidence of this memory storing function through sequencing.
The idea of having Google of all people make a cookie replacement seems a real "fox in the henhouse" kind of situation.
That was an incredible read, thanks for sharing. I've always had a real love for Bill Evans music but I never got around to reading about his life.
I just wanted google out of my life so it fits the bill. I don't do anything all that fancy with documents and it gets the job done.
Everyone will still use chrome. Example, when I do a fresh install of Windows I use Edge to download chrome then never use Edge again despite all the nags.

Nearly everything said about asian Americans can be said of jewish Americans.

Now substitute what you just said about asians for jews. Still ok with it?

Jews are disproportionately over-represented in elite universities relative to the population. And on average we experience more well being that white people, along the same metrics you cited.

It is ludicrous that you could lump together a child of Vietnamese refugees in with with someone who's parents are doctors who immigrated from The Philippines. It is almost as if we are more a product of our circumstances than our ethnicity.

No, hard working asian and jewish kids should be punished for bad things that Wells Fargo did a quarter century ago.
Hiya, a bit of OT: I saw your comment about type systems in data science the other day (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25923839). From what I understood, it seems you want a contract system, wouldn't you think? The reason I'm asking is that I'm fishing for opinions on building data science infra in Racket (and saw your deleted comment in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26008869 so thought you'd perhaps be interested), and Racket (and R) dataframes happen to support contracts on their columns.

I'm recovering from a year-long obsessive binge of Bill Evans Trio. For other fans here, I'm curious as to what your favorite album is? I Will Say Goodbye and Since We Met are brlliant, of course, but Sunday at the Village Vanguard with Scott Lafaro holds a special place in my heart.

Yours?
Yes it does. Users now have a unique IP address that is now static. Yes you can rotate your exact IP inside your block but you still keep the same subnet.
This website is gorgeous. Haven't felt that in a while.
I do not disagree. By the point of view of privacy for sure Chrome is the worst.

But in terms of evolving the web, Chrome is the lead and Chromium, I believe, was a breaking change for web when talking about adding new possibilities to it.
Thanks, removed Chrome ages ago in favor of Microsoft's Edge (the new one). Microsoft is fast becoming the good guys. It sets a default tracking level of Balanced, which blocks trackers from unvisited sites - you may then make it more strict if desired, out of the box with no extra plugins required.

Perhaps a reasonable line to draw would be that if the content of the information is enough to fingerprint, the it is PII (regardless if broken into many messages) and the individual data doesn't matter.

Not surprising, when your first and foremost duty as the headhoncho should be doing what you can to keep your site online.

It's been almost a month that the site has been down for now. Yes, an outage should be expected when you get deplatformed at a network level... however they could not put up anything more than a status page in this time.
Why else would they need an emergency $3.4B fund raise?
>Once people can price a coin in terms of real-world assets like storage, it becomes easy to see when the coin is overvalued.

Prices work in the opposite manner, it's the sum interactions of market participants that drive the price equilibrium. Something being related to a "real-world asset" doesn't make it any easier to price. See "Economic calculation problem" for further discussion.
Unrelated: What is this *pickle* term origin?

Python errors sometimes generate some "Could not pickle" errors and not sure what it tries to convey ...
Yes, that is generally how they resolve it. Apple has started to reduce the effectiveness of CNAME cloaking.

The goal is that advertisers will eventually be far better off working with a system like Private Click Measurement (in Safari betas now and set to be in next releases) than insecure things like CNAME cloaking.
That's a good point. Static IPv6 addresses or even a (small) pool of them could make for a reliable ID.

Wonder how people should work around that?
Sure, but the topic of this thread is the idea that there is such a monoculture in Silicon Valley that mentioning these ideas will get you cancelled. I think that is wholly untrue.

If there is a monoculture, then there are ideas that are abhorrent to that monoculture. I will attempt, at my own risk, to bring up these ideas and see if I'm cancelled if someone out there will just state them instead of talking in vague terms about these automatic blackball ideas.

We can test this hypothesis. I am volunteering. There is no risk to anyone else. I don't see why no one is taking me up on this. Or rather, I do see why.
When Parler was coming up here due to being "deplatformed" I commented several times about how, like Cambridge Analytica which brought Trump to power, Mercers funded Parler.

Way too much kneejerk defense was given to what was essentially a throwaway social media site. A burner to foment extremism by giving the right an echo chamber that wouldn't act where other sites have.

And this acting by other sites often included taking down serious content like death threats and organized efforts to conduct political violence aka terrorism. So many people here just did their finest defending the product, why?

Was it the site itself or some general fight for freedom of speech? Because if it was some vague fight for ideals please, pick your fights better.

The fact that there are other examples of exploitation and fraud is tangential. The argument is that interest is one form of exploitation, it's not the only form.
In the context of a superoptimizer benchmarks dont make sense really. You don't know what it's going to find.
Browsers are way more complex than OSs these days. Mozillas Servo project had over 40,000 commits and still wasn't ready for production and it was only a small part of the browser. I don't think there is anything else that could have 40k commits and still be a tech demo.
Pickling a cucumber stores and preserves it for later use, so the term is used for serialization. Still an odd analogy though, since you can't unpickle a pickle. I've heard freeze/thaw which is at least a little better.
Rebekah Mercer is done being embarrassed by you! (Reminder: she's the board that fired him.)
If you’re going to hold someone else’s opinion up for ridicule, perhaps you should first consider the matter a bit more. If you mean institutional names as in individuals like the much maligned Jim Cramer, if you look into it you’ll find that there are very specific rules in place regarding his own ability to hold positions in the companies he discusses. This influencer we’re talking about reached similar if not greater sway over his audience, all the while directly profiting from their misunderstandings and gullibility. He may have hoped that his viral screenshots would save him from legal consequences, but in the end they may instead work against him. Of course, he had no personal brand name to trade on when he started out, so those very screenshots were also his best way of getting anyone’s attention in the first place.

The ones who deserve ridicule here are the people who continued to amplify this pump and dump long after it was readily apparent that that’s what it was. They are still doing this, including sadly here at Hacker News.
You seem to think you know more than than Google and Nvidia and Steam and PlayStation and Microsoft about game streaming services, which is very shocking to me.

How preachy you are in these conversations
..it sounds like you may have a bit of an ego and possibly a little prince complex? You could look into that as being the root cause of the issue.

Millions of people happily play online games all over the world daily with way worse specs than you demand.

I think most people have more realistic requirements than you do to have fun with an online game.

Time will tell who is right! I'm betting on the multibillion dollar companies though!

I wish you the best and hope you never have play a game with less than 60 FPS and 16 millisecond latency ever again
The guy is obviously too smart and philanthropic to be hiring plebs that would work for $15/hr.
IPv6 may make fingerprinting harder since you might lose a single static identifier for users. Of course, you could gain a unique identifier per device on a subnet without security measures there.

However, it doesn't affect cookies which are bound to origin names rather than addresses.
> this is like saying gasoline is bad because napalm.

A closer metaphor could be trying to build a new market selling napalm as toy cleaner, and blaming housewives for blocking the development of the product.

A product that was proven difficult to store, prone to catch fire, staining the wood for three generations and more expensive than the other brands.
AB5/2257 were so ridiculous in practice, I couldn't bring myself to agree with the principle they stood for. And aside from that, if a party can sue over a proposition saying that it unconstitutionally hobbles the legislature from doing its job, doesn't that defeat the notion of propositions in general? That's the whole point of propositions.

The ABs had a list of exceptions a mile long, I suppose put there by the labor interests that wrote the bill. I didn't see why some of these contractors aren't equally exploited and subject to the whim of big evil corporations. What did it matter then, to carve out one more exception for Lyft/Uber drivers to join this list?

A commercial fisherman is less worthy of being protected than a Lyft or Uber driver? You've got to be kidding me.

I too am a lawyer/former sysadmin that has been searching for similar and ... theres not much. The problem as I see it: 1) your breadth of skills really applies best in small business as a bigger business will compartmentalize you (either lawyer or sysadmin); 2) your price tag is going to be problematic for small businesses.

I have channeled my effort into executive level positions in smaller companies that are targets of Private Equity. Previously GC/COO at 50 person company, now CIO AT 250 person company. I literally did everything at the 50 person company and, while stressful, it was fantastic. The 250 person company has compartmentalized me to the point that I still have to send my contracts to our lawyer for review.

And I’m still on 3+ hour long conference calls with no end in sight.
The majority of users do care about privacy but its a concept they struggle to understand and they do not know when they are being tracked, what is being tracked or how to stop it.

The EU was on the right track about requiring tracking to be opt in while also having an option to say no without being blocked from the service.
