So when I want to go to a developer conference and I use money from the education budget, Google needs to look over all 100+ speaker slides to pay for it? In this case, they need to look over n videos in the LinkedIn library? Sounds unreasonable when, as a company, I want to promote employee autonomy when it comes to individual learning.
Hi, OP here. Most importantly, mega thanks to Fabian Keil, the lead developer of the Privoxy project. After 17 years and over 4,500 commits, Fabian’s dedication to Internet security, privacy, and the open source Privoxy project is unequivocal. Additional thanks to the entire Privoxy team and our incredible team for getting us here.
Our project, Security and Privacy Plus, is to provide commercial support for the preconfigured appliances we created which allow for easy spin up, testing, and usage of the incredibly effective and flexible filtering system Privoxy provides.
Our goal is to make this necessarily technical software available to a wider group of people via a cloud control panel and a virtual appliance, and we have successfully done this. The Privoxy project made it effective, we made it shiny. Give it a spin!
Damnit it was so much more fun before the "fix".
I suspect you may be right that even ~400 or ~500 students is too many.

This is just an anecdote. I went from an enriched program with a high school of about 500 students, which was quite wonderful, but still had the usual high school social issues, to another enrichment school of about 60 students. It was socially different. Everyone knew everyone well. You had to get along.
I think they're talking specifically about printed maps. I'm not sure the hemispheres have been printed back to back like this.

This feature of the map seemed particularly unique:

Yes, you could make the argument that this information is not definitively damning ... at the same time it looks pretty bad on her, and it seems likely that Google was doing something because someone was doing bad things.

Also worth noting is that from a PR perspective, the press doesn't seem to be interested in anything other than making Google look bad, which strengthens my view that they are narrative creators more than anything.
Where I used to live no one plowed the road so every time it snowed my dad to drive his bobcat (he's one of those tech workers that owns machinery "for fun") down an hilly icy road with huge ravines on each side and no cell signal. After we both got our HAM license he would carry one of these cheap 2m handhelds with him and could check in with us every so many minutes. They work way better than FRS radios (much more power, longer antennas, more bandwidth (FRS is almost unintelligible by comparison.))

Some people feel like HAM has no practical use outside of emergencies but there are definitely places where the owners of the spectrum have failed to build the infrastructure needed to use it.

> They also just listed the set of the largest expenses for a vast majority of our society

Buying a house is an asset acquisition, not an expense. Housing is an expense (and typically the single greatest household expenses), but that expense has increased in price less than home prices.

The next greatest expenses are food and transportation.

To be extra clear about this, Rust does support dynamic linking; it's just limited to interfacing via the stable C ABI. The ABI-resilience conerns described in the article are ultimately punted to the users and/or the dev ecosystem, albeit some facilities (namely, bindgen/cbindgen) are also provided to ease the task.
What I meant to convey with my original reply is that making as much money as possible and trying to improve society aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Then you proceeded to seemingly present a mutual exclusion of either someone making art for art's sake or making art simply to make as much money as they can.
I have a hard time understanding how such a system would work in an emergency. So when production is crippled and demand is soaring, some producers voluntarily decide "Well this is too much hassle, I need to be paid more!" and restaurant owners get the electricity bills and say "WTF? Tim, kick out everyone and turn off the light, we're closed now, they're charging us fifty thousand dollars and we can't afford to pay any more!" and all of this is supposed to happen within two hours before the infrastructure melts down?

I mean, who checks their electricity bill every two hours?
That isn't what I said, this is a comic book guy response. Am I supposed to argue with you and support and argument I wasn't trying to make?

No one unskilled should do dangerous things, rather than throw up comment like this, why not make a constructive one along the lines of, "when I was 12 I wanted to build X and it required using the large table saw. I had to wait until I was 17 to do that because using the table saw blocked me. How can we unblock kids from completing their projects?"
If the problem is "I have a bank account, now I want to receive payments automatically without depending on anything else", you are looking for a money transfer protocol. The Brazilian Pix is quite interesting, as an open protocol, but I don't known of any read made FOSS client for it yet.

There are other nationwide protocols around, some open, but most closed, some closed with publicly accessible middleman. Now we are mostly missing some protocol for international settlement between those.

Honestly, I don't get the point of state sponsored e-money. They looks like me-too projects by people that don't understand what they are doing.

I didn't know there was a word for that. Something similar has happened with some names in Latin America too.
Which ”funny book” are you reading?
Well, it depends on who you ask. There are many who say that only white people can be racist, and that racism only comes from white people, therefore if you are anything but white, you are by definition not-racist. A better observation would be, what if the presentation said "How to act less gay." Prior to the Supreme Court decision last year, "being gay" was not a protected class. Coca Cola could have provided training to its employees to be "less gay" and that would have been legal, although certainly many would say that is discriminatory.
There's also a company working on a plastic replacement for mushroom grow bags. It would be biodegradable.
Sure, but this is not inflation. Inflation is an increase in the price level. When some prices are up and others down so that there is no general increase in prices, we cannot speak of inflation.
dividends can also be taxed at long term gain rates if the stock was held for some period of time before hand (see qualified dividends)
Ask HN: Anyone started a startup on an E-3 or Canadian visa?
Has anyone started a company while on an E-3? If yes, any details around process / recommended lawyers? Likely will have an America co-founder. If no, any other alternatives, ie. just incorporating in Australia / elsewhere and being a remote founder.
It is significantly faster, just not enough to make a difference when the baseline is so slow.
TIL. Can you tell me more about the recycling process for PLA?
Absolutely. Still, many people cannot be bothered, and so find it BS.
If you drawn an iceberg the size of the world then there won't be anything to float.
Plastic recycling seems heavily motivated by emotion and virtue signaling.

In reality, only about 5% of our crude oil use goes towards plastic.

If we rolled out EVs, and then just burned all the plastic trash (using waste-to-energy plants), we would still be far ahead.

The biggest challenges with plastics are hormone disruption, and microplastics (particularly in the 3rd world without sufficient landfill or W2E infrastructure or societal environmental concern). If these new plastics are less molecularly stable, these issues may actually be worsened.
Awe and contempt are basically the same feeling, but with the charge flipped. The author is amazed that it works to the degree that it does, you're amazed a how things don't work the way you want them to.

Such is the power of framing, I guess.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
The book was ”Crossing the Chasm” by Geoffrey Moore.

Actually, even just by searching online you can find this small chapter from the book where he tells his ”high tech parable”, illustrating an (unfortunately) common story of a fast growing start-up that struggles to expand beyond its early adopter market into the critically important majority. I think you might consider it pretty funny too, although my humor might be dry here.... Even if it’s a bit early to tell, the book seems like a nice read!
Again, I agree with these newly changed words.

For me. I just pipe it to DDg.

If, for any reason, I want google. I just append !g to the search.

For example I prefer google when searching restaurants or brick and mortar places with a phone number. dDDG piggy backs on Yelp which isn’t great sometimes and out of date. So I just revert to piping it to google.

Interestingly IT/devops/languange related searches have marketdly improved with DDg and I can get consistent results (ie using the same search string later). Google will often give me random garbage from places that are regularly unhelpful like Microsoft’s answers pages etc.
@trestenhortz maybe share an example of what you mean by that?

Is this happening to you? Are you trying to find ways to deal with a micromanager above you? etc.

Anything else?
While I don't disagree with the article, this quote better sums up how I feel about programming.

> The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination... Yet the program construct, unlike the poet's words, is real in the sense that it moves and works, producing visible outputs separate from the construct itself... The magic of myth and legend has come true in our time.

-Fred Brooks, in The Mythical Man-Month

In deference to the counterpoints in this thread, a lot of the "poetry" we actually encounter seems to have been written by Vogons.
Yesterday I set up a Django server that exposes some tables through an API that's fully queryable and filterable and sortable and paginated. And I wired it right into an antd table component on a Web app. And the whole thing is just so nicely interactive and #%$&ing clean and beautiful and elegant. I felt such joy making it.

Then I had a moment of thinking, "wow the CEO and friends are going to be blown away."

Until I stood back and realised that a data table isn't novel or interesting and they won't even be aware of the underlying beauty.

They're still blown away by a lot of what I do, but it's never the things that I find truly beautiful and romantic.
If you have multiple startups competing evenly in the same space why does one succeed and the others fail? The founders ability to execute is paramount. But of equal importance is that one product has a little bit of magic. Something that makes the user smile. If it was easy every startup would have it.

You might say they all do the same task why spend extra time so the user has an incredible experience. Because in my opinion that's how you win.
Am I unusual in that I find that the "suggestions" on all these media platforms are boringly predictable and rarely offering anything really interesting? I watch a video about "A" and I get 10 suggestions of other videos about "A". Big deal. They aren't very compelling.

Or, on shopping sites, I buy a chair. You'd think maybe I'm outfitting an office and get suggestions for a table, a desk, or stuff like that? No, I get 10 suggestions for different chairs.

Maybe it's because I use ad blockers and clear cookies frequently, so they don't have anything to really work with. But it seems that even the first guesses they take are pretty devoid of context.
The cost of diskspace is not as limiting as the time needed to do an Initial Block Download, which would become too burdensome with huge blocks. Transacting on 2nd layer makes a lot of sense as txs are instant, more private, and don't need the whole world to download and verify them (except for an open and close). It improves scalability by orders of magnitude
I'm working on an app that calls other internal services inside our company, one of them is a call to update an account balance. We were running into this issue where we were getting a 504 Gateway Timeout on the update balance call so I eventually found the Slack room for that team and asked about it.

They ignored me for a couple weeks, but I kept asking and eventually someone answered and said yeah you'll get the 504 Gateway Timeout if you try to update the account balance to the same value that it already has.

OK, that makes sense to you? What if there was an actual gateway timeout?

You would also get a 504 Gateway Timeout in that case.

They apparently have no plans to modify this service's behavior.

I let it go, I just moved on with my life. I did not find myself awed or stunned with the mountains of work and talent and creativity and foresight and intelligence and luck that went into it.

Nevermind, they mention it, they just don't have a picture:
"It can be displayed with the Eastern and Western Hemispheres on the two sides, or in Gott’s preferred orientation, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, which conveniently allows the equator to run around the edge. Either way, this is a map with no boundary cuts."
Speculation, but I'd not be at all surprised if the C&C servers are compromised boxes that have other uses.
PLA is pretty useless as a material though for anything but art. Almost everything I print has a functional purpose and either (a) needs mechanical strength (b) will be placed outdoors in the California sun or (c) will be used to house electronics that may reach temperatures as high as 70-80 C.

PLA is basically useless to me and pretty much all roboticists. I use PETG for almost everything because it works perfectly for all my needs; unfortunately I often need to go through about 2-3 versions of many parts I make and wish there were a better, more efficiently recyclable option that has the same or better properties as PETG.
Yes but where are the books? There's hardly any real books in the pics.

It becomes rather interesting in my mind the moment you think about when the thing no longer exists.

We loose so many things all the time, the ability to make stuff, the ability to repair things, even the use of drills and hammers quickly fades away for the TikTok generation.

I love the notion of the OP and applaud initiatives like the various Smalltalks or https://gpblocks.org/ that try to keep the awe in our craft alive.
Switching the result from "tabby" to "catamount" is not nearly as "adversarial" as I expected. Is that really worth it?

Is the idea that it's useful if you're trying to stop targeted facial recognition of individual people?
> Imagine just loading the program into 2D/3D registers and having it compute the result in a single cycle.

You mean like SSE extensions in Intel CPUs, which can operate at 64 bytes at a time, potentially doing 64 operations in a single cycle?

Or FPGAs, which can have an arbitrary wide registers -- I have seen a design where entire video scanline, 600+ points, is processed in one cycle?

Or video cards, which have multiple parallel executors -- a high-end NVIDIA card can process 64x64 pixels in parallel, with each pixel getting its own little execution core.

Or maybe famous Cray 1 machine [0], which had a vector instructions, such as "a single instruction a(1..1000000) = addv b(1..1000000), c(1..1000000)"

Or maybe a Connection Machine? It sounds as close to 3-D machine as you can make it -- it even had 3-D shape with bits arranged in cube [1]:

> The CM-1, depending on the configuration, has as many as 65,536 individual processors, each extremely simple, processing one bit at a time. CM-1 and its successor CM-2 take the form of a cube 1.5 meters on a side, divided equally into eight smaller cubes.

Your say that "no one has ever built these higher dimensional registers" -- but as you can see, there are plenty of examples one can come up with. It is entirely possible that your idea is different from all of these, but it is not clear how. I think your website would benefit greatly from the comparison with those other computing devices, as well as more details as to what this "tree architecture" looks like -- how many ALUs, memory blocks, instruction decoders etc.. do you want to have and how are they interconnected.

I don't see how anyone 'set up' anyone.

Paradoxically, AI may have been part of the tech used to flag her, but it's all mundane at this point.

Kind of implying that AI is just 'tech' and there's no material reason to separate AI from everything else from an ethical perspective.

Google's main Search Engine should be the biggest point of controversy if there is one - the things they chose to filter, or not, or highlight, their ranking, etc. - a lot of that is algorithmic and derived from human input and it has massive impact. But there's no cool moniker like 'AI' with Hollywood movies about the tech to get people paying attention.
Yes, the construction of a ballpoint pen could be made romantic. But I mean...it's pretty incredible how many humans collaborate to produce the ballpoint pen, millions of individuals cooperating in countless ways, producing an essential implement which is greater than the sum of its parts. No one involved could tell you exactly how the pen is made, and yet it's sold at a price so low we never think about it. There is a famous essay "I, Pencil" that details, and indeed romanticizes, this exact process.

You could cynically state that all aspects of civilization are incredible, so therefore nothing is. Or you could back up and marvel at the fact that out of nothing came something, out of an unthinking universe came self aware humans that literally took rocks out of the ground and reconstructed them so that they would think for us, and that we then used those thinking-rocks to cure diseases, enable near-instantaneous communication anywhere in the world, and literally launch people off this planet.

I would advise you to try thinking in the latter style, as life is more fun that way.
Almost every time I hear something new about the boot loader on these M1 Macs it's always something that on it's own would be a huge deal breaker.

It's not even the weird ISA that causes this, Apple's PowerPC macs used standardized firmware with documentation. All of the crap they do to prevent their users from tampering with their own machines just makes them unusable.
You can create icebergs with 'holes' in them, which have very interesting floating behaviour [0]. It doesn't work every time, though. Not sure why.

I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, but I'm skeptical this would end all life on Earth, or even wipe out humanity. For one, it won't circulate evenly. Some places will be irradiated an order of magnitude more than average, but some places won't be irradiated at all. Simply adding more bombs and bigger bombs doesn't help here: you've got to point them at all the safe spots.

Even ignoring those safe spots, some forms of life can probably exist in irradiated areas: Chernobyl's dead zone isn't by any means devoid of life.

There are probably shelters that could provide a safe harbor, though I don't trust them functioning for more than a half life or two.
Really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing!
If the part doesn't have to last long or is subjected to smaller forces and the robot is kept in a controlled place PLA is fine. We used them it to make parts for robotics competitions in college.

I've felt both ways at different times. Both are true. The fact that anything ever works is part of the magic.
Freenet has been around since 2000, and I remember wondering why Wikipedia was always begging for millions of dollars when there was a way to have users host the content. Sure you don't want to ask someone to install a node just to view wikipedia, but there's enough editors and archivists out there that would be willing to be mirrors if it was just a background process you could run like freenet. It got me interested in programming and I learned that handling conflicts on a decentralized system makes things difficult, plus apparently there's more to running an encyclopedia than hosting servers.

Now wikipedia is mirror'd on IPFS, but its just a mirror, you can't edit. Still the performance of it is surprisingly good.

This about sums it up for me as well. I feel so absurdly lucky that what I love to do also pays well.

If programming paid like shit, I don't think I would be able to stop myself going down that road anyway, in the same way someone who loves painting can't help but paint.
