Says five other states must adopt similar laws before it would actually become enforceable law. Still one fantasizes about manufactures simply deciding to not sell cell phones to the entire state.
This topic is above my paygrade since I lack the relevant legal knowledge. But some things I've noted so far:

- GDPR shone a light on these practices that is visible to the casual user. This highlights some examples long term counter-productive thinking: people blaming GDPR for showing those practices instead of the practices themselves. A symptom of the messed up ways in which all this has been developed over the years

- Even single governments alone aren't enough in some cases (see France's measly series of fines against Google that probably evoked laughter in the boardroom)

- As a user, the prospect of being able to download my data from FAANGs seemed so miraculous and unrealistic at first that it made me realize I complacent I had gotten to unequal practices and to these websites and companies just doing whatever they wanted whenever they wanted. That specific point alone is worth the entirety of GDPR to me

- Baby steps. GDPR is already a step in the right direction, they are still figuring these things out (especially enforcement) whereas the private sector has decades of experience in anti-user practices, honed by some of the finest minds. The next step is to get a better share of the deal for Europeans as a whole.
I'm saying ban something that targets the supply, in a way that is both general but at the same time addresses the specific immediate need. It's hard to expand here, but IMHO the system/process of Law is not meant to target things at such "level of detail". If the system was extremely fast at revising existing laws, I would have a different opinion, but with how much power it has plus how slow it is, why are lawmakers designing laws that punish such specific activities? As a crude analogy it's like a bunch of programmers are adding a ton of bloat to the code just for a tiny feature, that maybe should have been part of a bigger feature to begin with.

To summarize, every law needs to be extremely well thought out, but results have shown otherwise (although that's a different thread).

I wish tabless mode would get more love from browser developers. It was the default design choice for years before tabs showed up.

From what I can tell, tabbed browsing was/is popular because the default window managers of popular operating systems are underpowered. On Windows, it's not possible to tab arbitrary application windows without third-party software like TidyTabs [1] or Groupy [2].

In my opinion, the window manager should be taking care of things like tabbing, rather than the application. This way, it becomes easy to group windows together based on their purpose rather than by the fact that they're spawned by the same application.

For this reason, I've grown very fond of i3wm [3] because it makes tabbing and grouping so simple.

Getting back on topic, I've had little success finding browsers with decent tabless modes. None of the config tweaks I found for enabling tabless mode on Firefox worked correctly. For a while, I tried qutebrowser [4] and enjoyed its keyboard-driven interface, but ran into various usability issues that made me go back to Firefox.

That's pretty much what's happening here, fusion output increases with the fourth power of the magnetic field. Double the field, 16X the output. But if we take it much further, we'll reach a point where the limit is the structural strength of the reactor.

A few years ago I got to tour MIT's Alcator C-Mod, which had the most powerful field of any tokamak to date. A grad student showed us a metal tie rod, about a meter long, and said they'd calculated that two of them could hold down the Space Shuttle while it was trying to launch. To hold the reactor together while it was operating took 38 of those.
It isn't just about how much money you spend, it is also about how the money is distributed, which actors get it and what they spend it on.

If state governments took over control of schools and local school districts were abolished, that might well not lead to any change in the overall amount of money spent on public education, but it would very likely lead to changes in how and where that money was spent.
Apparently you can buy transparent OLED displays now, which look like plain piece of glass when off.

This project takes 10 of such displays and stacks them together in one block. The result is tiny (under 1" longest dimension) volumetric display with resolution 128 x 56 x 10.

Pretty neat for UI building, but don't expect any sort of rotating 3D models.

It is actually frustrating how often it is repeated. Every time I come across any advice on drawing, it is leading masses of people the wrong way. What's worse on top of not learning how to draw well, is that a false sense of accomplishment. People who learn how to draw this way think they've learned and climbed the mountain of creative achievement but the truth would come out the moment you ask them to redraw with a different perspective.

This is my pet peeve.

A couple of years ago we switched an Electron/Cordova application to the native OS Webview (WKWebView on macOS and iOS, etc). The UI was written with Inferno + MobX and the backend in Swift/C#/Kotlin depending on the platform.

UT has more overbearing regulations than any other state. They are also far and away the most conservative state. Not all conservatives in the US are aligned with them, it’s just that the cult majority have regulatory capture.

@tonsky is right about the huge memory footprint (in terms of RAM) but 20MB for Hello World GUI program is totally fine today [0]. In my humble experience there is really hard to fit in below 10MB with a GUI app that only displays "Hello World" text, while the next 10MB are often consumed for extra resources like font, rendering cache or custom textures.

It might a bit rude to remind that, but the same person saying aforementioned words about huge memory usage promotes the Skija [1], Java-based GUI toolkit, which is even worse in memory consumption than electron (jb-compose provided examples, even in release builds).

It'd be nice if something was done about the extra 100-200ms (!!) of latency that Bluetooth headsets can add[1]. I understand this is largely a problem from the manufacturer problem, but I'd love to see Google lead the way with some sort of certification program, or even make their own low cost BT chipset for 3rd party headphones to use, to improve the situation.

Of course Android is already world's better than desktop, where 200ms is seemingly closer to average than an outlier.

It is also kind of cool that perusing that chart, it seems headsets connected to Android have, on average, lower latency than when connected to iOS!

I live in the forest and we routinely need to blow off the roof. You aren't supposed to sweep it because it degrades the shingles (according to our roofer).

So, we have an electric one for that, and for various other tasks, like clearing our steep driveway of debris that makes it difficult to receive deliveries or get our cars up. Blowing takes 30 seconds, where sweeping would take 5 minutes.

Tell HN: Twitch bans and double standards over female body types
I recently came across this busty Korean streamer who got banned from Twitch after her account was repeatedly locked.

Here's a post on Instagram where she talks about her situation with Twitch, and how she took steps to wear non-revealing clothing and still got banned: https://www.instagram.com/p/CBw5k8MHy_Z/

The reason given by Twitch was "Sharing or engaging in sexually suggestive content or activities":
https://www.elecspo.com/news/velvet_7-banned-twitch-fans-protest-punishment/

I found a video of one of her Twitch streams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFqps7zSXzA

I suspect that the analysis in the video description is correct. Even though she is not wearing anything revealing, because her breasts are so big, she can make them bounce around just by dancing.

If a girl with small breasts did the same dance, I don't think Twitch would bat an eye.

Yet Twitch can't come out and say "you're not allowed to dance because you have big breasts" because that's discriminatory against certain body types.

I'd like to see what the HN crowd thinks of all this, from a censorship perspective.

I've read the whitepaper and follow technical developments occasionaly, I know how it works on a high-level.

You could make Bitcoin process 1000x more transactions and the energy consumption of mining it wouldn't even change by 1%, all else being equal.

Miners are willing to waste as much energy as they get back in rewards from mining blocks, while competing with each other for their share of the rewards. The rewards are newly minted Bitcoins (and some transaction fees, which are a small part of the reward). So the higher the Bitcoin price the larger the rewards miners get and the more energy they are able to spend competing with each other while still turning a profit.

If the price is 50k, it doesn't really matter if the network is processing 1 transaction a second or 10 million, the energy consumption will be roughly the same.
I know this sounds cynical, but I really think that politicians' policies - which are just plans to spend other people's money - are no substitute for motivated people actually going out and making a difference.

Fixed point is obsolete on the vast majority of compute devices today. It is only a reasonable alternative in ultra low power scenarios or on tech stacks that haven't migrated to modern architectures, like some DSPs (which are also really only applicable in ultra low power devices).

On modern CPUs, fixed point is slower and error prone (both in usage and the computations themselves) relative to floating point.

I don't think it's a pity that fixed point support is out the door. It sucks. Floats minus subnormals are the least surprising numerical representation out there, and the most versatile.

Do you really want to worry about whether your numbers are saturating or wrapping around? Keeping track of what your max/min are? Tracking decimal places? Implementing division by hand? Screw all that. Fixed point is awful and is essentially an academic exercise today.

This pretends that test scores are a meaningful metric for the success of school funding when we know that's not true. How money was spent is just as important how much. Which it seems is the argument you're making. Where I think you're missing nuance is in recognizing that the most meaningful comparison is not from state to state, where the lines are blurred. It's much more meaningful to compare outcomes from neighboring districts.

And, in that comparison, it's extremely well documented that wealthy neighborhoods have significantly better outcomes than their poorer neighbors.
Qt does have an implementation that targets mobile. I don’t know how the licensing works, but in theory there should be a way to rely on Qt for mobile to extend support to iOS and Android. Way out of my own expertise, though!
There are low latency bluetooth protocols, if you sort by latency on rtings for aptx-LL you can see some headsets are down below 40ms. Of course, this relies on both the host and the headset having support for the protocol and being engineered well. SBC and aptX just aren't designed for low latency, and low latency is something that can't be hacked into every codec after the fact.
I think this is more of a state culture thing than anything else. Regardless, political parties tend to be pretty different from state to state and vs the federal overarching party.

You've already described the main roadblocks. I suppose that those industries have less in-demand vacancies comparing to software engineering, as well as companies are not offering so many positions with relocation support.
I don’t think the green faction disagrees with fusion because “nuclear = bad”. I think the fact that current estimates point to the 2060s as the earliest point in time for commercial viability. By that point we will have had to have moved on from fossil fuel (or at least gained net 0 carbon emission) for at least 10–20 years. So nuclear fusion is not a solution to the climate crisis.

In other words the green faction is simply disinterested in nuclear fusion, like we are disinterested in the Large Hadron Collider, sure its a cool experiment, but nothing we should be considering to further our goal of fighting our current environmental disasters.

> “Because (children) are not developmentally ready to handle [porn], it leads to the problems of depression, anxiety and all the problems that go with that including and up to its most extreme form, suicide ideation and attempts,” Gibson said.

Is this true? I have a young child and have a hard time imagining she would view porn as anything other than strange or bad being done by other people. I don't think she would take it personally, and of course, I'm not going to test it out. TV regularly depicts violent murders of innocent people, yet I don't hear claims of that leading to suicide.
Doing that when building these devices at scale and handling support queries for it is probably not cheap. Most phone manufacturers don't allow retailers to tamper with the software on the phones/tablets (that opens up a can of worms in terms of security), so they'd have to do it very early, maybe even at the factory — which means earmarking which devices are bound to Utah. Responsible manufacturers (e.g. Apple) would also have to audit the filter code, or build it themselves.

It gets even worse for Utah, though. The bill demands that any device activated in Utah comply with the law — not merely sold in Utah. So manufacturers would need to turn on location tracking and make it impossible to disable, for all users in the world, just to detect the corner case that they happen to be in Utah, so that they can silently turn on a Utah-specific porn filter.

I doubt the bill will pass, but if it does, I doubt many manufacturers would comply.
Is there a legal precedent already where a state forced a private company to include specific software on a device?

The Microsoft breakup in the late 90s might be one example but even that was not about setting specific kinds of software as the default, just letting users choose the default.

Looking down the line at state or federal mandates for this kind of stuff, it's easy to see it venture into backdoor encryption territory. If they can mandate porn filters for safety reasons then why not expand that concept to encryption?
The words conservative and liberal have wildly other meanings outside of the US. Even in the US they are not well agreed upon (especially the definitions, people seem to know which one to pick though when they have to).
Let’s compare these sets of people:

2. who reacts most strongly to stories about deplatforming hate speech and incitement

And try to figure out if the two groups have different principles about free expression, or perhaps the principles are irrelevant and only function as justifications when convenient for some kind of tribalism.
