While none of this would push me so far as to personally cheat, I do completely agree with your comment. Due to lose of work and virtually any prospects, caused by covid, I have returned to school for the first time in 10 years. Since doing so I have felt emphatically everything you have mentioned.

Although I do not attend a top school ( it’s a local tech school) and they do not have “top-proctoring” software, the same points still hold.

1: my classes are mostly just me reading my book and filling out online material with next to no feedback on anything. The computer grades most of my work. Some of my professors have refused to answer questions and respond to emails. I even proved my English teacher wasn’t reading my assignment by asking questions personally to him parenthetically which have gone unnoticed. I accidentally turned in the same summary assignment twice and received wildly different grades ( one a 100% the other 75%). Math has been okay but the free materials online are far better and most fellow classmates I talk to are learning everything on Kahn and ignoring the online class material.

2: We do use a proctor software. And I have been threatened more times than I can count about zeros and cheating, as if every single one of us is out to cheat. This holds particularly true, and rather ironically, for my ethics class. Where even our pre-test prep materials have to be done on camera, with full “environmental checks” etc. To top it off the system also keeps us from seeing what we got right or wrong on any test, pre/prep or not. Which to me defeats the purpose of the whole exercise, and really the foundation of learning.

Agin I do not condone cheating but I do agree that backing everyone into a corner like this offers them less options and they will fight back to some degree. Mostly, what I am seeing though is a 25% drop out rate (at half way through the semester). I’m not sure if this is normal but to me it feels high considering most of those happened after the date in which you could be refunded.
> Rust seems to appeal to a certain type of programmer who is attracted to esoteric topics and arcane knowledge, so the fact that Rust is essentially an unlimited well of complexity is more a feature than a bug to them.

Unfortunately true in my experience. The two engineers I know have advocated strongly for Rust at my company cared more for the technical elegance of their code than the long-term costs of using said code.

I participated in an ecological impact study off the coast of guam once upon a time and we pulled a couple of these up from the sea floor in deep sea traps ... the amount of slime covering the back deck was truly astonishing ... they also have really freaky mouths -- a circle of teeth on a squishy stalk reminiscent of the inner mouth from the movie Aliens ...

Understand your frustration but the public was outraged when $1 million of a librarian's donation was used for a football scoreboard.[1]

Yes, the university did comply to the exact letter of his will (only $100k was restricted for library and the rest was unrestricted) ... but the public thinks the spirit of his donation was ignored.

I just bought an Onivim license cause I wanted to treat myself and they're using Revery as an Electron replacement. Not sure I understand why it is faster, but I have to say the startup time is almost instantataneous and it's really responsive on a Linux 2014 i5 4Go laptop (whereas VScode ...). So it might be a good alternative.
I was born and raised in Brazil where I lived until 25 in a major city with no shortage of poverty and inequality. I have never seen or heard reports of people defecating on the street. Though at least in the northeast it’s common for men to urinate.
I'm not sure I fully understand what your outrage is. It seems like you're concerned that judgements of acceptability change over time. Is that not to be expected?
Would it be correct to describe this as using comptime to enforce system level constraints? To my naive understanding it looks like comptime combined with type state programming gives one user definable type systems.
Too late to edit: the second example leaks memory, as the execution token is not destroyed before becoming inaccessible. As far as I know, ANS Forth doesn't offer a friendly interface for destroying execution tokens.

Maybe Posting Stuff To The Internet should not be a career or business. I'd love to get paid for posting to HN. I spend way too much time typing in my brain farts here. But it's not [ethically] monetizable, so it doesn't matter what I'd like. You're not entitled to a way to make money from things you put effort into. If I felt like blogging on my own, I would--and I would not be trying to make a few bucks off it. I already have a few bucks.
This is something I imagined as a kid. So cool to know others have this idea and that it can be a reality! (even if the results aren't perfect)

If you care about education reform, I guess you must have heard of the Common Core. In the field of education reform, almost nobody thinks a national standard is critical / essential to the education reform in the country. It created huge huge political turmoil for many years. Both left and right were against it, but it got pushed through. Now it is gone, nobody cares. Imagine the resource wasted on this meaningless effort which could have been used for something else.
One important reason that is often overlooked is that static sites are cheaper to host since they don't require a preprocessor that consumes server resources. In the future maybe there is cheap hosting for Rust/C++ web preprocessors (resource-efficient = low cost) and static generators will be less of a thing..
> it's fine if it takes up a significant proportion of a machine's resources

I currently run 2 VScode instances and they literally total 70 MB. So no, it's not significant, on the contrary actually.

And to be fair, even if it was 700 MB, I wouldn't care. Even older machines have at least 4 GB memory.
In case it wasn't clear that wasn't the rhetorical "you" as in "one," but rather a suggestion that parent personally ought to spend some time learning about 17th, 18th, and 19th century publications by actually reading them and seeing how fast and loose they played with the truth to achieve desired political and economic goals.

What I’m looking forward to is low-cost, mid-bandwidth and ultra-high-latency store-and-forward LEO satellite constellations.

Something that you can use in the middle of anywhere and send/receive text news, messages and short voice recordings. Maybe a handful of photos per day if you want to point your antenna to the sky manually and follow the satellite for a few minutes for max bandwidth on an upload.

There’s a few projects out there, but still out of reach of the consumer because I guess... they can charge more to a corporate user.
I put a bit of hot water in the pot and stick in the microwave for a couple minutes. Works great.
1 W laser is in the “a diffuse reflection can do damage” safety class. It’s the kind of laser where you lock doors to the optics lab to prevent people without eye protection accidentally entering when the laser is in operation.

Having a computer point-and-shoot one at random directions in free air is just madness. There is zero discussion of human safety of such a system in the paper.

I agree in my middle age curmudgeon way. But on a nest thermostat this is annoying rather than dangerous. Whereas until we get autonomous vehicles the car version is both.
With Wifi, I can easily disrupt within a few hundred yards of my house. But disrupting something a few miles away is much harder.

With a mesh network, the network is much bigger, which makes it important an attacker can only disrupt their small corner of the network.
It's "fewer", not "less"
I've been thinking about this. How can we get good ads without extensive tracking? I've been blocking ads as long as I could remember, mostly because it's annoying and/or irrelevant.

However, I'd be down to see ads if they're, say, relevant (things I'm actually interested in) 90% of the time. I thought about having a system where I could voluntarily say what I'd like to see in ads (obviously stuff I'm comfortable letting others know eg: sw, t-shirts, etc) - sort of like subscribing to RSS feed. Maybe advertisers could have a button on their site that I could click to let them know I'm interested in promotions, new releases etc. I imagine those advertisers could be part of an ad network I'd whitelist. I could see this as a win-win, though I don't want to think I'm the only one to think of this. Maybe those in the industry feel status quo is the best at scale.

I just got an online master's degree and while I never cheated on test, it would have been easy to.
The only way around this is to only have tests that are open book, open Internet, and ask students questions that they won't find with a simple Google search(i.e. Questions that require a deeper understanding of the material). I realize this may be more difficult for the teachers, but they could still re-use test year to year. It would be less difficult to prevent students from uploading the tests
None of these hacks were related to the forum software. Maza and VF run ancient vb, but nobody has found vulns in that for ages. Exploit frontend proxy was compromised by someone, most likely the hoster. The forum software doesn’t run on the frontend proxy.

VF was hacked with a MITM attack that intercepted admin credentials, you can check CT logs to verify this.

Actual laws and regulations have nothing to do with why this will be prevented. Telecom lobby money on its own has been working for decades.
Wow, that’s a risky bet. Google may change their mind in 1 year and just drop the project, as they do so often. That’s enough for me to be sure I won’t build anything based on one of the company side project as I never know (and have no way to know) what is an experiment or an actual product they plan to maintain long term.

Hopefully for Canonical everything will go well, I wish them good luck.

You don't have the slightest idea of what does it mean to maximize the expectation of logarithmic utility, do you?

Will you believe it from the mouth of Ole Peters himself?

This is from the Nature Physics article:

"we had worked out in detail the correspondences between linear utility and additive dynamics; and between logarithmic utility and multiplicative dynamics"

From "The time resolution of the St Petersburg paradox":

"the time-average performance of the lottery is computed. The final result can be phrased mathematically identically to Daniel Bernoulli's resolution, which uses logarithmic utility"

"Equation (6.10) is mathematically equivalent to Bernoulli's use of logarithmic utility."
Well, Gates is a bad guy. He was a robber baron who decided that stealing a whole lot of money makes him the world's leading expert on everything. He has no training in pedagogy, epidemiology, sanitation, or really anything else relevant to the missions of his organization, yet he seems to actually believe he's a Great Scientist Using Evidence-Based Approaches to Save the World. He lives in a $200 million house yet has funded a billion-dollar propaganda campaign to convince people he's generous.

I laugh at Elon Musk when he thinks getting fired from Paypal means he knows how to run a car company. I also laugh at Bill Gates when he thinks stealing the worst desktop operating system makes him a doctor.

Multipath TCP sadly seems to have died... I believe it was incompatible with internal load balancing systems at some big companies, so nobody deployed it.

Hi HN! I’m Arda from HockeyStack.

HockeyStack makes web analytics easy to use and understand, while still allowing for powerful analysis.

- It is completely no-code. All actions are automatically tracked without the need for “.track()” functions
- With the user journey map and filtering options, you can analyze more sessions in a shorter time than when using session replays
- You can segment users who did certain actions in order to optimize the conversion rate of that action
- The dashboard is organized into clear-cut categories, so you can easily navigate through the data, as opposed to the cryptic organization in some other tools like Google Analytics.

I hope this will be useful for some of the less technical or busier people here.

You can start a no-credit-card free trial and later use the HACKERNEWS25 code for a 25% discount if you decide that HockeyStack is the right analytics tool for you.

You're not thinking big picture, nor looking at things from a business perspective. The transit authority can sell ad space on those LCDs, thus increasing revenue as well as reducing TCO of the displays.
While the secretion may not happen in the brain, they affect the hormone receptors in the brain and that's where I think all the 'mind' changes come from. We know that e.g. people who undergo hormone replacement as part of sex reassignment will actually have noticeable brain structure changes.

If there was some other influence causing changes to the mind, I don't know of it. It doesn't seem like the hormone creating organs are itself is part of the mind, as just taking the hormones seems to cause the same effects. So what else could it be? I guess it's theoretically possible that some systems like the blood stream itself are part of the mind - but there's nothing that indicates this, so I think it's pretty unlikely.
Bill Gates made all of that money by destroying Netscape, Be, and countless other companies. His dog shit software like Windows 2000 and Internet Explorer set internet security back by about ten years. As far as I'm concerned he is a force for evil in the world and he should shove his resources up his ass. He doesn't deserve to be a part of the solution to the world's problems with energy, education or anything else. He isn't allowed to "buy" being a good person. He isn't one.

> VS Code is also very slow, you just don't notice it as much on today's machines.

That's plain wrong. I recently upgraded my 7 years old mid range laptop and VSCode ran just fine on it, even with the required set of extensions for my projects. I upgraded because I had other issues, but VSCode wasn't one.

The problem with that is, in part, that they ignored the spirit of the donation, but also that the proper amount for a university to spend on a scoreboard is twelve dollars and thirty-seven cents.

OK, that's a bit unrealistic. I could build them one for a few hundred, though, and they could pay a student $50 to flip over the numbers during the game.
Not all species of mosquitos are bad, e.g. there is only one out of 3500 that spreads malaria, some feed on nectars and are very important pollinators. Can this tell the difference between the different kinds? Or will the drones buzz around the garden lasering anything vaguely mosquito shaped?
This is only a short term issue. ETH is currently transitioning to proof of stake with ETH 2.0
So, let's unwrap this.

You make some money. Which is taxed in various ways. The pie gets bigger, the state (and the People) are getting a cut.

Then you are told you should do more. And you also think, well, why not help the world?

Then you are told: but don't waste your time volunteering at a shelter -- better work and donate your money instead.

OK, so you don't get the satisfaction of seeing the humans you help but you know that at least your donation helps, maybe, the same humans you want.

A restricted donation gives you some agency into improving the world. You are still abstracted away, you don't really see the humans you are supposedly helping, but at least the money only goes into improving the world into some dimension that needs improving and that you consider relevant.

But no, what you must do is just donate unrestricted. That is, have no agency, have no interaction with actual humans in need, be just a wallet that helps, maybe, something as defined by the entity that receives the money. Your only choice is who spends it and how much to give them.

At this point, how about we bring this to the logical conclusion that THERE SHOULD BE NO NONPROFITS. Clearly, if those with the already taxed money can't have an opinion, why should those nonprofits know what's what? You know who could spend the money: the State!

So, abolish non-profits, and make the State as the sole decider of how things get spent. Then you can donate unrestricted to the State or just push for some taxes being raised.

Very interesting article with a silly clickbait title. Although I admit, the correct title, "Hagfish Slime is interesting," is probably less effective :D
In theory, that shouldn't happen. The gist being, Google wants to make you (the person searching) happy. So much so, it wants to personalize its suggestions. That is, if you knew what Google knows, what would you recommend to you? :) The algorithm wants to be human. It wants to be you.

In fact, in that context, if you're a pro-privacy person then Google should - again in theory - be more prone to recommend privacy-respecting sites to you. True, that's counterintuitive given Google's biz model. However, that biz model breaks down even faster when people stop returning because they are unhappy w/ search results.

Put another way, it's only a matter of time before DDG and the like use the pro-privacy signal to move sites up the SERP. DDG already knows you probably prefer that, as that's why you use DDG. It certainly would be a helpful icon DDG could add to their SERPs.
