This doesn't stop Google from having your emails obviously, but it allows you to move over your more important accounts now, while handling the other accounts as they inevitably send you emails over time.
This is the ingredient most of this discussion is missing. People here seem to mostly believe "If it's not genetic then it's nurture", but that's not the case. It can be all sorts of other things.

My (rusty) recollection of the literature is that our best guess for what most causes homosexuality in human males is the hormone profile given in utero. This is not caused by the fetus's genes, but it will interact with the fetus's genes. Hormone levels could be influenced by the mother's genes[0]

I think what HN-ers are really interested in is, "How much control can we humans practically exercise over this?", the answer being "very little" in both the case of "genes control sexual preference 100%" and "in utero hormone levels control sexuality 100%".

Can you share a bit about how you’ve integrated Hotwire with Rust? I recently wondered how well they’d pair.
GDPR and CCPA are important issues for this sort of 3rd party PII management stuff.

I'd be _very_ hesitant to use this without some very strong guarantees that legal won't come breathing down my neck because I can't point them to a contractual guarantee that we will be complying with those (and similar rules from other jurisdictions).

I lose enough sleep worrying about PII that I store in databases I manage. Farming that responsibility out to a 3rd party does not fill me with joy, it raises instead lovecraftian levels of horror about what I'd tell a judge about how I ensured an EU citizen's rights to have their data expunged from my auth/userprofle system...
It's only "free" if you get a substantial fraction of the coin's total wealth backing your attack.

And it's not really "free", because you'd instantly devalue the currency itself (and thus your own stake).
Why this city you ask?

Well the superbowl was being played that weekend a few miles away on Sunday and so there was a large amount of media and visitors in town for the game(also heavy national coverage). Glad they reverted it as who knows what would have happened if left unchecked.
Perhaps it should have a tiny tiny marker with the legend, ‘You are here’.
Defending is the job of a lawyer, and defending for a salary is the job of especially respectable lawyers like public defenders and the ACLU.

Defending clients for free including news and media representation as in this case tends to mean you just like hanging out with them though.

> Glen Greenwald is a Nazi

I said "was" and "neo-". A more accurate current description of him is somewhere between contrarian twitter user and inchoate ball of rage. The contrarianism is why it's not actually bad for him if I insult him, it's like Trump, it probably just makes him stronger.
Amazon is great, but it's hardly "one of the most enduring companies of all time" yet. It's not even 30 years old.
Do you have evidence of this still happening? I know games getting rejected for no real reason was somewhat common back around the Greenlight era, but I haven't heard anything like that since they moved to the minimum moderation system and started allowing porn games.
All large enterprises keep cash reserves. Whether you agree or not, the prevailing thesis behind keeping cash reserves in BTC is not that it will turn a profit, but that it will avoid devaluation like USD.
Bitcoin fees can be much cheaper. Even if you pay only $0.25 your transaction will probably be mined within a day.
Makes me wonder if someone can create a cryptocurrency where the mining is for distributed computing research for achieving nuclear fusion power. Crypto-mining that does SETI@home/BOINC work.
I and GP comment seem to take the opposite stance: MFA is so important that products like this shouldn't offer a plan that doesn't include it. Either include it in your free plan or don't offer a free plan; don't make security an upsell.
This is a little too simplistic/misleading

- yes, QM is linear in terms of states, vector spaces and operators acting on states (its just functional analysis [1])

- it’s not linear in terms of how probability distributions and states behave under the action of forces and multi-body interactions (see, eg correlated phenomena like phase transitions, magnetism, superconductivity etc)

The counterargument has been the same for years: the present financial system consumes for more energy, to the point where people complaining about it look like they're either trying to deceive others, or they've just put so little thought into it that they should be ignored.
I've seen pages like this before, where people can request anonymous feedback.

DuckDuckGo has been great for search for many years now. Yes, about once a year I have a really hard search where for some reason I very strongly suspect that Google might be better, so I google. But that's about it.

The only way Google makes money off of me is via YouTube ads. When you're not logged in and always appear as a new visitor due to browsing in private mode, ads are many and annoying.
> I don't think it is possible to turn someone who is straight gay, anymore than it is possible to turn someone who is gay straight.

Indeed if that's true, i.e. that there is an innate immutability between the two, then the whole question is conveniently moot and we can instead turn our attention to figuring how to combat these fears at a rhetorical and cultural level (still a Herculean task but at least a step forward).

The fear, on both sides of that coin, comes from if that's not true.

No, she didn't make a mistake. Taylor Lorenz lied in order to smear the guy, and her response to being caught was itself a lie, blaming another mysterious "male voice", when it was in fact a female.

As Greenwald pointed out, her recent reporting seems to indicate some sort of vendetta against Andreesen.
It depends on the game. Anything that has a lot of text or small icons - e.g. many strategies - benefits from high DPI in the same way desktop apps do.
The statement I take issue with is "[...] this might be one of the last places left on the internet you can ask a question like this without getting dogpiled."

There are lots of places on the internet where asking honest questions about the gay experience is not scary and will not get you flamed. Indeed, the existence of such venues is crucial to the self-discovery of gay people — especially gay people who live in hostile environments, and who may be in great need of a kind confidant.
A couple of frameworks use a radix tree for routing, e.g. ASP .NET Core. Sadly, routing isn't even part of the TE benchmarks. There are some applications out there with 500+ routes, so I think it is pretty relevant.
I personally know multiple senior ex-githubbers who quit over the ICE contracts; it seems plausible to me that they’ve lost key expertise and can’t safely integrate with their older systems.

parent mentioned "owned machine" (as in, "hacked" not "ownership"), which means you might be able to find the source if you can seize the computer and analyze it in time. If the attacker wiped all traces from the computer then at best the trail ends there and at worst an innocent person gets blamed for it.

>If it was an VPN, you know it's a more competent person, org, and most VPN's also, keep logs.

Seeing the same people who go on and on about [mildly conservative channel] fake news and laughing at the idiots who watch it while also being completely oblivious to the exact same bs they're lapping up day after day has been outright depressing.
In all honesty, why is a system so critical on the internet at all? People say, ease of administration, but there are other methods of achieving the same thing. Up to and including running your own network. On the one hand your engineers and chemists won't be able to fiddle with the aeration stage using their brand new, whiz bang, iPhone. On the other, the people in your community won't be put in harms way.
Critical parts of AWS's Nitro are written in Rust, which powers all of their new high-performance computing—is that a "toy"? What about Dropbox's sync algorithm? You know, the one that runs on every computer with Dropbox installed that is their core business logic, powering file storage for more than 0.5B users? Firefox's Stylo and other parts? They still have hundreds of millions of users.

80 percent of revenue comes from 20 percent of users. Rest 80 percent of users include those free plan users.
Honestly, the answer is to charge people a fee, in order to appeal a ban. A fee that covers the cost of investigating the incident, making it revenue-neutral. This way, Google would have every incentive to investigate thoroughly all appeals, including repeated appeals by the same person.

From the user's perspective, it's still a pretty good deal. There's a 99.999% chance that you get to use gmail/youtube/etc for free. And a 0.001% chance that you'll end up a statistic, and need to pay a nominal fee for an appeal.

Unfortunately, I don't think the above will ever happen, because it would be a PR nightmare. "Google wants to charge you money, just to appeal a ban!" It's still better than the status quo, where people have almost no recourse when they are banned. But it still sounds way better in the media, if you just pretend as though these things never happen. Hence the status quo - use automated systems to cheaply get to a 99.999% success rate, and spend as little money as possible on the remaining 0.001%
Sure, but on the other hand no large-scale industrial by-products, no islands of plastic in the sea, the mountains of trash were less durable and closer to being biodegradable.
One thing that really bugs me about CommonLisp, is that docs for the supposedly popular libraries are often broken, because they relied on a 3rd party service QuickLisp. A great example of this, is the linked “Clack Getting Started Guide” in the article isn’t even referenced in the clack library repo. This guide than proceeds to link to the broken QuickLisp docs. It’s madness, especially for people that WANT to help move this language forward and increase adoption.
Do you really think a startup running on Bitcoin can't be do a better job than the legacy banking system? And by startup I mean a group of people that write software in a competitive environment.

Those already exist (Lightning Labs) and there's so much more to do with a secure programmable distributed database.
To be fair, I'm not entirely sure that humans shouldn't be classified as "wild animal(s)" as well if that's the case.

This is incredible. But what is even more amazing, is that if you register and then add the overlays, you'll notice that almost any interesting object is already labeled and categorized, leading to photos of that object in even better resolution. And I'm speaking about objects which are found while using the biggest zoom level already.

Those links to further information contain so much additional data, that it left me really surprised how deeply surveyed the sky is, how much work has been put into mapping and categorizing the sky.

I'm baffled.
Well, if liquid hydrogen becomes a significant energy carrier, as many serious heavy engineering companies are currently working to realize, you might end up having "free" cooling capacity at ~25 K widely available, at least for data centres and such.

> it wasn’t even a news story. It was a tweet.

If this had turned out to be true, it surely would have sparked several news stories. The reason that such a long post by Greenwald was warranted is that the journalist was clearly trying to create a story with the tweet.

I do feel rather strongly that we should not persecute people suffering from pedophilia, especially as a lot of it seems to come from suffering from abuse as a kid. That doesn't make you an active child rapist. You may hate that about yourself. Well, at least I assume that to be the case. I can't say I'm familiar with it.

The predictability of something isn't the issue though. It's whether or not something is actually in your control. Being gay is not a choice.

If homosexuality were purely a choice then there would be great perceived harm in allowing gay individuals to influence other individuals to be gay. It's hard to construct examples of this because being gay is not a choice, and any hypotheticals here would come off as very bigoted. There's people in this very thread already jumping on the opportunity to suggest that if it's not all genetic that maybe we're culturally encouraging kids to be trans. Consider for a moment that opinions like this aren't out a desire to oppress people, but fear that kids are being manipulated into sex change operations. That's FALSE, but in an alternate universe where its just a choice... it's arguably true. The harm is dependent on the nature of it. Trans suicide rates are really high. In this INCORRECT alt world where we're 100% its just a choice, people being supportive of trans gender folks look like they're the ones at fault for leading people down a dark path.

> The reason we should be tolerant of homosexuality is because it's as healthy and harmless as heterosexuality,

I agree. But the reason we MUST be tolerant of it is because its an inherent natural part of human nature.
There are QA checks on the "finished" water. Automated, and manual (i.e. a chemist manually sampling and analyzing the water). In this particular case, a high pH would have indicated that something was wrong and would have quickly been investigated before severe system-wide effects occurred.
There should be no such thing as a "trade secret" when talking about evidence that is used to convict someone. Correct judgement here.
Let's be honest, he's been banned in error by some google bot.
I assume you’re on the lowest tiers; HTTP 500 randomly for hours seems to be the Azure way of upselling.
I'm not saying companies won't. But if you want me to believe your security is top notch then you need to show me you take it seriously.

Not offering MFA on the free tier tells me you're more interested in making money than in security.

There are plenty of other features that an enterprise will pay for.
Thank you for calling out the headers. We'll work to resolve right away.

And agreed on the CDN JS. We'll move these assets to the customer's domain.
> The difference is that you have a level of guarantees that it is going to clear - at least in the UK, the second I make a payment I get a notification and the debit is posted onto my account in real time. If someone sends me money I receive it within seconds at no fee. With Bitcoin you don't have that guarantee until it has cleared which can take hours and cost over $2.

While this might be true in the UK, it's untrue in the US. In fact, in the US the ACH protocol is such that you never get a failure (a "return") within the 1 business day, you only receive successes. You may receive a "return" any time over the period of the following month. Most payment processing systems empirically work out a rough time limit before deciding that an ACH transaction was successful after all.

This diagram captures the intended use case for the blockchain. You'll notice that it's the lowest level, at the Settlement layer -> https://twitter.com/stlouisfed/status/1358883628600721411/ph...

> Your bitcoin doesn't produce that - your bitcoin sits there not doing anything. The transactions are verified by actual assets (servers).

The same way that your specific gold isn't used to manufacture microchips or make jewelry, it's just sitting as gold bars in vaults managed by bullion trusts. The reason why gold has intrinsic value is that there is some use for your specific gold bar in theory, but not in practice. And yet, gold is still a viable store of value with intrinsic value. The same holds true for Bitcoin and its peers.

> Even the bulls seem to admit that the transaction fees of BTC are too high and the validation time too slow - this is why they seem to push towards alt coins.

Sure, I'm speaking of cryptocurrencies in general. Bitcoin, specifically, may not be the implementation that wins out. Transaction fees of altcoins like ETH and LTC are much lower, for example. They are also set per transaction rather than being a function of the actual amount size, so as long as the raw blockchain is merely used as a settlement layer, most institutions would submit large batches of transactions of high dollar amounts and pay a flat transaction fee per batch...not too dissimilar from ACH.

> I can see that someone might be able to live their entire life off bitcoin, but I still wonder why. I mean I live in the UK and people can hold all their money in Yen and pay via MasterCard if they want which will automatically do the currency conversion, but people don't do it because it would be insane. I don't see why BTC is any different.

Because foreign exchange fees. These don't necessarily exist with cryptocurrencies in the same way that they necessarily exist for actual fiat currencies.
And according to Taylor Lorenz, by using the word "retard" in your reply, you are perpetuating this slander and showing yourself to be insensitive and ableist. If your defense of Ms Lorenz upthread was at all sincere, you should apologize for your use of this word and then delete your account.

The Ambassadors (Holbein)
Check today's news, Tesla bought $1.5bln in Bitcoin and will accept it as payment from its customers. Bitcoin fans will likely welcome this and laud it as a step forward. Many of them are not informed about the devastating environmental impact of blockchain-based technologies, sadly neither is Elon apparently. Some will simply not care even after having informed themselves. When the next generation begins to ask questions eventually how we could have let this happen, it will be a "big surprise" and we "couldn't have known". Again. The cycle continues...

Do you seriously think that Bitcoin enthusiasts are Elon Musk's target market? Bitcoin is useless and inflexible as a currency, and the massive risk definitely won't help bring Tesla any profit. Sounds more like market moving on his part designed to get publicity. Musk is known for making controversial decisions to increase his notoriety.
> I wish there were more people exploring alternatives to the tech co/startup/capitalist grind.

I've always assumed they can do what they do because they're independently wealthy though maybe that's not the case?

> It's a choice we made that works for our *unique financial situation*, but it's not something that we advocate for, or that we think would scale well in for-profit environments.

One take on 'unique financial situation' would be that they're independently wealthy, another would be that they don't have
liabilities like a mortgage or children (though a boat certainly costs money to maintain...).
Elon is an evil character. Since he bought his McLaren to show off and totaled it - to this day. He doesn't care about humanity and science - all he cares about is ego and money. And that's nothing new here, but let's stop idolizing him and give him more credit than he deserves. From tax credits to this abuse - all his money is thanks to the US taxpayer who doesn't drive a Tesla because they can't afford one!
iPhone 12 Mini May Not Be Long for This World
I feel the same way, and not just for these benchmarks but all.

There is some value but it’s not a lot. At the end of the day it all comes down to how much time and motivation the person that implements the benchmark has, you can get pretty far in just about any language, after all they can all call into a native implementation so even an interpreted language can be fast. Then you can spend lots of time micro-optimising for the specific hardware the benchmarks run on.
The website of the studio behind it is worth checking:
