Not trying to be argumentative but this is completely over my head and I do not understand the purpose.

Is there some way to get a CSS snippet out for publishing in a blog/article/presentation or is it only images?

edit: is this purely to add a rounded border/pad that you wouldn't get with WND+SHIFT+S / CMD+SHIFT+4 for sharing on sites where you don't control the style?
This isn't as true as it once was.

Google's best asset for ranking is their user data. Even if you had the exact algorithm, you couldn't game it without massive amounts of user traffic. (At least not for popular searches.)
We have great accessible technology for colored text with background images.
Either conscientiously or inconscientiously, sex is about power.
One also wonders whether Google would have put a termination clause in their contract with the news orgs in the event the law is repealed. And is Google really going to provide them notice of algorithm changes? Very interesting to see how that's going to be done if so.

Gmail can do their own tracking on what emails a user opens. If they find that a user is leaving a lot of mail from a domain unread, they might decide to start shifting that mail into the spam box to provide a better UX.

As a sender, it's impossible to get any specifics from Google as to when it happens. You can get a generalized spam report rate from them but that's about it.

> I'm not making normative statements about what's fair or not fair. There are legitimate and reasonable grounds for criticism of capital markets. I'm correcting your specific positive statements, which I quoted, because they're incorrect. I don't have anything to say about blockchain or the rest of your comment.

Ok, I stand corrected, and I don't mind accepting that, but that doesn't diminish the value of my response; none the less I appreciate the correction.
I think that's clear to OP. What OP is getting at is what else did/could keith be doing, how many other reddit accounts did they have, how many botnets, etc all possibly pumping this. That's for discovery and courts to decide. Maybe Keith is only DFV and none of that other stuff exists, or maybe DFV is just one of many keith's tactics to pump this thing.
The complaint is that many users just read the headline and never click to leave the Facebook walled garden, generating 0 income or traffic for the news media.

They complain that big tech gets the reward (content that drives user engagement) and further, it detracts from the potential traffic they would otherwise receive.
right. If there is a 100% chance of rain in half the forecast area, and a Zero percent chance in the other half, that is reported as a 50% chance of rain. But if you care about a particular spot, in theory you could be told the much more useful 0% or 100% number.

Obviously in reality it would never be quite that simple, but the point is that a spot forecast could be much more useful and accurate than an area forecast. (Of course, the more hours ahead the more you get into scenarios where for example just a slight drift in wind angle can give very different results on certain spots, while having more negligible impact averaged over an area.)

In any event we are not well set up for disseminating spot forecasts, but rather for disseminating area forecasts. In practice, as far as I have been able to determine, you can only easily get spot forecasts for airports.
For the last several days much of the discussion about Scott Siskind of Slate Star Codex has been about "guilt by association" with Charles Murray, Moldbug and other white supremacist and neoreactionary types. I firmly believe that guilt by association with white supremacists is fundamentally valid, but I was heavily downvoted for my arguments.

My priors have been confirmed, as the rationalists would say. Association with white supremacists and neoreactionaries continues to be strong evidence of one's own sympathies, despite loud protestations (perhaps too much?) from the denizens of this hellsite.
The problem is there are more great artists with the potential than the world needs. Only one artist can be number one for the week in any given week, and the artist who holds that often does for several weeks (and often they get a second hit). People like a small amount of change in life, which means they listen to a few artists, then change to a different one. Then they grow up/old and review that set of artists for memory sake and need even less new great ones.

I don't have time to listen to all the great music in the world. Even if "God" gave me a list of all the great artists trying to record today, it would take me more than a day to listen to all their recordings. So the labels choose for me, and to a large extent it doesn't matter which ones they choose, what matters is there is a filter to gets the right amount of music to me. In the world being great isn't enough as there are more than enough greats, so if you can great, good looking (this helps me overlook any of your faults - I'd like to think otherwise but I know better), and good in the bed of the label - you make it. If you fail any of the above three you have probably lost (note to the good looking, the labels may use you for sex knowing that you won't make it).

Note too that labels bring in other help for the great. I can record music in my basement: I don't have the best microphones, but they are good enough to pick up the sump pump in the corner. I can mix tracks in my basement as well, lets just say I'm not quitting my day job. I could go on about other parts of the process of turning a great artist into a great recording for mass consumption that labels have figured out.

Hey's solution is pretty smart. Their servers open the image and cache it as soon as the email goes through their servers. That way the pixel data is garbage. If you open the email multiple times it gets the images from Hey's cache.
Most people won't purchase and use a Yubikey either though. Really just depends on your threat model, if remote attacks or local attacks are of higher risk. An obvious improvement would be the use of both a password and physical security token.
> The problem is that Apple built an artificial monopoly in the distribution of apps by making the App Store the only curator of the platform.

You need to watch Epic Games vs. Apple hearing from September 2020. This argument was already rejected by judge. She stated closed platforms (walled gardens) were before Apple's fore decades and are legal types of business. She also told about Nintendo/PlayStation/Xbox same closed stores.
Any human-initiated change to search algorithms is presumably human-understandable. Someone writes a rule to downrank some terms or traits of a website, they presumably document it somewhere.

That documentation will need to be shared, and the implementation of the rule change will need to be delayed until the disclosure window has passed.

It’s still difficult to argue that Apple refusing to subsidize Epic store is anti competitive
Should this article and discussion be allowed on HN?
A good faith argument looks less different from the imagined argument. It's a heuristic, peoples imaginations are different, but if you can tell that there are objections that people would have that haven't been addressed, it is likely the author could tell as well.
I’m not a lawyer but Gill’s conduct was different from Reddit pumping accounts. He has been posting detailed information about his opinion on GME being undervalued for reasons largely different than a “gamma squeeze” or “short squeeze” for a year on YouTube. He just happens to be the most readily sue-able because of this long post history.
> And I hope it forces Facebook to actually support journalism instead of leeching off of it.

Not unreasonable arguments could be made that it's journalism that leeches off of FB. FB drives huge traffic and provides a massive platform.
No, if you're the guy who writes the laws, you're allowed to just tell people what to do. That's the deal with laws.
You could argue that taxes were designed before the "you are the product" age. If Apple sells a phone in Australia to a local customer, they pay Australian sales tax and possibly import dues to get the phone into the country. When Facebook sells data from an Australian user to a random advertiser, all tax is due in Ireland/Netherlands or some other tax haven and Australia makes nothing.

So while this approach with news media is a strange one, I think there is an argument to be made for taxing things differently. Make Facebook/Google pay a fair tax in all countries they're active in. Then each country can decide how they want to use that, if a democratically elected government in Australia wants to subsidize news using taxes they should be able to do so.
To be fair, I think the David Suzuki foundation is pretty well respected.

Here are some quotes:

Synthetic musks used in fragrances are of particular concern from an ecological perspective. Several of musk compounds are persistent in the environment and build up (bioaccumulate) in the fatty tissue of aquatic organisms.

diethyl phthalate, or DEP, is widely used in cosmetic fragrances to make the scent linger. Phthalates are choice ingredients in cosmetics because they are cheap and versatile. However, the European Commission on Endocrine Disruption has listed DEP as a Category 1 priority substance, based on evidence that it interferes with hormone function.
Phthalates have been linked to early puberty in girls, reduced sperm count in men, and reproductive defects in the developing male fetus (when the mother is exposed during pregnancy).

That sounds pretty science-y to me, admittedly a layperson.
It's right there on the page. $2,300.00 excluding tax
News adds little value to Facebook. I wonder how much of Facebook's engagement is actually from news versus user-generated content.
The 0.2% figure was an exact power figure for TX summer 2020, not sure what that'd be in %homes with >0 panels.
No, you are trying to make it appear that it is physically impossible to run an application on Apple devices without using the store, This is FALSE, see the laptops , you can run applications without using the Apple store or their dev tools. So users should be allowed same fucking freedom on the phones as on the laptops, the only excuses I see are "most iOS users are retards and they will get scammed" or "Apple should have the right to be assholes and abuse their customers if the market allows it and don't dare try to question Apple, even when they make mistakes they are perfect"
It's exactly the same, as long as someone will want to go the extra inch to make anything more than their competitor, this behavior will stay.
Litentry: Decentralized Cross-Chain Cross-Site Identity Aggregator on Blockchain
"Concept of User-Centric Internet

As we entrust safe-storage of our passwords and online activity data to third parties on the app-centric internet of today, we are often asked to comply with ambiguous and unfair privacy policies handing over control our own data. As a result our data is often harvested and used in ways we do not have a say in.

Litentry is helping support change that in favor of a user-centric internet with the blockchain. That means the internet should dominant by the users. We decide what services or apps to users, the decision should not limited by the migration cost or specific terms. The profit generated by the user data should go back to user, instead of mainly flows to service provider / companies.

Litentry includes an identity-based network and related tools, as a whole it consists of a decentralized identity authentication and user activity data management infrastructure.

The protocol and network designed at start is not only fits to the internet, but also fits to all the digital services in the real world."
I think they address this pretty well actually. It's hard to say exactly where without spoilers but in particular a character talks about the difference that a death of a hero (astronaut) makes vs the command control guys or nameless ground crew.

CapEx. I love working at Tesla. I was excited everyday to wake up and go work 12 hours a day. College, I couldn't focus. I'd had 6 years of supply chain experience before trying to get a degree in supply chain and if i'm being honest everything i was learning in school was completely pointless and would never be useful. I even have the GI bill so i was being paid to go to school and my soul still couldn't take it.
I don't know if it's an entitled fit. Getting rid of a small perk can sometimes just be that little thing that causes an employee to briefly put his head up and start thinking about why he's still working there. It's not something I'd quit over, but maybe something that might remind me to check the job boards this month rather than ignore them like usual. Steve Blank wrote [1] about this.

Problem is that a core part of the content of many emails is the images. Many emails I get are useless without them, I get the subject to guess what it's about, and if I only have the text to go on it becomes a mystery. I get emails from Nintendo or Steam when a game in my wishlist goes on sale. I think they just show an image of the game in question. Maybe the game name is in the raw source, but it is equally likely the only thing I'd find in there is some internal game ID that means nothing to me.

The way to solve it is for the email provider to download the images for you, not when you open the email, but as soon as they receive it, and then display the images from their local cache. That way your IP never hits the pixel's home server, and you can see the email as it was intended to be seen.

Thanks to the kids switching to virtual school, I’ve only had to set an alarm a handful of times. It’s truly wonderful, not looking forward to having to wake up to an alarm everyday again next year.
I guess you're probably talking about Universa, which Taleb is closely affiliated with? Taleb also ran his own shop Empirica for five years, 2000 - 2005. It beat the market on an absolute basis in year one (incidentally, during the dotcom crash) then had mostly negative results all other years.

I don't specialize in derivatives so I can't speak to how compelling his industry work is versus his writing. But my understanding is Taleb's strategies were explicitly designed to lose small amounts of money often and win huge amounts of money occasionally.

The idea is basically to go long vega and gamma waiting for an apparently rare event you believe will happen somewhat more frequently than expected. In the meantime you'll eat the theta and usually lose money, but ideally within certain risk parameters.
Not a dupe.
Maybe add some styling to each entry? Now it looks a bit strange, more like a single post trying to drop your non-existing database.
I'm not sure. One benefit of e-ink is the low power use.

Some on-street transit stops have displays with live schedules displayed. I wonder if there are use cases where you'd want that sort of kiosk somewhere you couldn't run power (and would power by solar).
Your argument doesn't make sense at all.
You don't invest in an idea or people if you don't believe you can profit.
Well, as a consumer, if I could install Kindle through a third party app store, I'd be able to buy books directly in the app rather than having to go through a dance to get to a browser to buy a book.

This is because Apple would charge Amazon 15/30% to clear the transaction while Apple Books can be both more convenient and doesn't have to give up a large chunk of change to someone else.
TouchID on MacBooks can also be used to authenticate the user in terminal, mostly for sudo.

The only annoying thing about it is that "/etc/pam.d/sudo" gets overwritten on every macOS system upgrade.

Forgive me if I'm misremembering details, but I think the way color e-ink displays work is they have the black/white "ink" capsules that are pushed up/down by magnetic charges, just like a regular black/white e-ink display, except for in the colored ones, each "pixel" also has a red or green or blue color filter over it (one of each in a cluster). But that means the pixels per inch drops because now 3 black/white "pixels" have to work together to be one single color "pixel"

I'm not really sure how they measure resolution with this, that could still just be a mistake. But I do know e-ink displays sacrifice resolution for that colour with current technology.

Tried this long ago when we got our first Yubico U2F keys. Cool, but ultimately unwise if not paired with a password or a decent-length pin because without that second factor you're back to a single point of (security) failure. Also, as pointed out by @deehouie, at present the pam changes required will complicate things where a machine is shared by multiple users (unless, of course, you just leave the key plugged in all the time: at which point... well, you know).
Lisp can take a chunk of lisp code and operate on it directly... forth can't do the same.

The big difference with forth is the inability to do things other than variables (fixed allocations) and use the stack. The handling of lists and garbage collected larger things on the heap are a huge advantage for the Lisper.
> When COVID hit and we moved to work from home - a huge amount of complaints began around why cant employees expense food since they are not in the office. While most "real" people were worried about keeping their jobs or finding one, many employees were complaining about expensing their food on top of their salaries/stocks/bonuses. This entitlement continued everywhere - while Google is BY FAR the most employee centric company giving tremendous hard and soft value to its employees, they keep creating imaginary problems to complain about, instead of appreciating the hand they have been dealt.

That level of entitlement is incredible. I feel very fortunate to make a well above average salary, and I keep reminding myself that it's unusual, and that I should increase my savings for when the faucet is eventually turned off
You are right, but it would be possible to produce like 99% of that from trees, if we bothered to spend to effort. You can distill trees into petroleum products, however doing so breaks the illusion of how much organic material we are burning through with just a single gallon of fuel or oil. Rather than thinking "its just a single gallon of gas" it turns into "well that as at least like 3-4 trees worth of fuel."

This wasn't a pump and dump though. Even if it never hit WSB the pump (squeeze of the short sellers) would have happened. The defining feature of a pump and dump is a socially engineered pump. Here the social aspect was more like "Look what is going to happen with or without us, we should ride it up. It is also obviously going to crash right after". People from WSB to Scion capital saw this coming, and got in.

What they did is more complex than that – the OS is 64-bit, but a lot of legacy apps use 32-bit pointers. All code runs in long mode, but to support those legacy apps, they put code and static data in first 4GB of the address space. 64-bit-clean applications can allocate data above the 4GB mark. 32-bit applications actually run in 64-bit mode, but they assume the top 32-bits of pointers have a fixed value, which means they can safely stash the pointer into a 4 byte memory area.

The other thing they do, is put code in the full 64-bit address space, but then have the linker generate trampolines in first 32-bits which jump to the actual function location so 32-bit function pointers can be used for code living outside the 32-bit address space.

I believe VMS on Alpha and Itanium did similar things. Applications on VAX assumed 32-bit addresses. Even though Alpha was a 64-bit architecture, to make it easy to port apps from VAX, they had applications mostly use 32-bit pointers (which are really 64-bit pointers with half of their value fixed), if you need more memory, you have to change your application to call some new APIs which return arbitrary 64-bit pointers. And then the same setup was maintained when they ported to Itanium, and now x86-64.

Actually IBM z/OS does something similar. IBM mainframes originally used 24-bit addressing, in the early 1980s they moved to 31-bit addressing (not 32-bit, the MSB was used as a flag bit), then around 2000 they moved to 64-bit. However, even in a 64-bit process, they still have the rule that all code has to be in the first 2GB of memory, to simplify interoperation between 31-bit and 64-bit code. But even though all code pointers must be safely expressible in 31-bits, 64-bit applications can use the full 64-bit address space for data.
