It doesn't help that the shadiest of people use crypto and ICOs to cheat and steal from gullible people. The suspicion and guard is up because the stakes are different. Let's say you write an opensource logging library for your language and promote it on HN - the stakes are low for everyone involved.

Let's say you're trying to launch rabbit token that's going to be the next only-fans replacement. You have a ton of motivation to hard sell your product and for this reason people are going to be equally not so exited and will have their guards up. I think it'd be naive to expect a OpenSource launch like happy reaction...

So it's
1) bad guys in that industry that have the wrong motivation giving the industry a partial deserved bad name.

2) A recognition that people espousing a technology are not purely talking about those technologies but have a vested interest in those assets having a positive view in other people's perception.

Ofcourse it comes with the territory. Like if a lawyer says, wonder "why is my profession, not universally loved?"

"Its just the 80% of the corrupt politicians giving the rest of the 20% a bad name."

Not passing judgement or moral judgement but I don't think crypto is going to shake-off the suspicion for quite a while.

This is because there is a knowledge gap between the masses and the people that know how things work. Till you have that gap there will be opportunists that will want to cash out on the knowledge arbitrage.

Its actually not just with crypto. Look at products that talk about AI enhanced this and AI enhanced that. Those guys are viewed with suspicion as well. Just slap-on an AI label to your PPT and bang your product is now cutting edge. Everyone see through that BS..
Why would a filter on a kettle remove what a filter on a jug doesn't?
Genuinely do it. It was the best improvement I made in my life. All I did was eat less crap and walk a lot. Turned out i liked walking so I now walk up mountains and stuff.

I started over 10 years after you so you’re good still :)

If you’ve got a smart phone get a calorie tracker app like Nutracheck and use it. Job done.
This is probably fine because mental illness is an ill-defined category. One hopes they will remain consistent. Unless it gets problematic and then we will just have to be content with inconsistency about things we care about.
I think than human communication is better than any ai model because human goes from general to concrete, adding more information to convert general context into insightful ideas. We use language to communicate what is important for us. Ai is about navigating in an ocean trying not to be captured by concrete things, because it knows nothing about being real.

As a mathematical methafor, each word is a window in the tangent space of an n-dimensional sphere and the normal points to the center of the sphere, as time goes on communication is about shrinking the radious of the sphere so that the center is like the kernel of what we wish to communicate. The sphere in an ai system has a very big radius and is not able to shrink because it lacks a kernel.

You could simulate a human conversation with an ai, for example to sell something following steps like description of a product, price advantages and so on, but in a real context those are ad hoc methods and there is no general rule to shrink that is to penetrate deep into the meaning of what you want to communicate.
If you want a placeholder logo, you could search for a logo maker. Looks like there are many options for even generating a logo from text.

Hitler is dead as a political force, the argument over who gets to determine what is deviant and what is normal is very much still in play.
It tells you a lot about the real battlefield (pun intended).

For all the talk about white supremacy, no one is really concerned about a resurgence of the Nazi movement in America, otherwise they would not let seminal works of the most prominent Nazi freely circulate.

Germany, which has a real (though fringe) neo-Nazi movement, spends a lot of effort on suppressing Nazi symbolism and rooting out neo-Nazis from police and Bundeswehr - which is indicative of the fact that they consider the risk serious.
This seems on the surface about protecting LGBTQ+, but it seems the kicker is really about treatment for transgender teenagers.

There is a movement to stop any kind of discussion about therapy on gender dysphoria other than transition. Trans activists seek to cast all therapeutic interventions other than transitioning in the same light as conversion therapy.

I think we will deal with the fallout of this activism for decades to come: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/calls-to-end-transgender-...
Especially a domain "sub.to"

I'm honestly surprised another company got it rather than a domain flipper
At 1G acceleration, nothing in the Kuiper belt is more than a few days away. You can send out robots if you need more mass than you have on hand.

Or, maybe you are robots, and can take 100G. Then the Oort cloud is your playground.
Do they have temperature control?
That is a possible explanation, a tax to be left alone. A protection racket of sorts.

The thing is, classical mob that collects "pizzo" money is vertically structured and can actually promise the payer real safety in exchange for money paid. That is not the case of the Twitter mob, anyone can start a shitstorm against anyone else.
> What I haven't figured out is how they get the sats far enough away from the ISS orbit with only one push.

What I don't understand here is how do they avoid the satellite hitting back the ISS? Once they are separated and non-propulsed, both orbits are elliptical with at least one point of intersection, and stay like that forever. If they have different period, it seems that the ISS and the cubesat might become arbitrarily closer in the future.
When I converted code from C to Rust, I was left with much more code.

Are you just noting specifics, or was it your experience that there was less Rust required for a full C to Rust conversion?
What are the actual dangers of it?

We should measure accidents while testing compared to average, before having knee jerk reactions before implementing unnecessary regulations.

When I've seen YouTube videos of customers testing, they seem very responsible and to be honest I think it's a great idea in general and I'm usually very impressed with Tesla's progress seeing those unfiltered videos.
Beautiful, this is exactly what's been on my mind for a while. After building a ton of "cool" infrastructure technology, I got recommendations from friends to sell it. But in the back of my mind somewhere I had going on what you've now made clear - that people won't actually want to _buy_ that technology, they'd much rather buy the business-specific stuff that is made possible _because_ of that technology.
I don't think that you understand NFTs at all. What's been sold for $70 million is an NFT—a digital token on a blockchain. Not a copy of a digital work by Beeple.

> Today, there are still independent BMW-certified mechanics who have access to the proprietary tooling to do these operations so if you make friends with one, you can still change a battery yourself.

Are we talking about secondhand owners? People who buy BMWs don't have friends.

In that case I feel for them, but at least there's plenty of other (generally cheaper and more reliable) brands.
Sadly for a ludicrous price.

I don't mind paying for quality, but a 700-1000$ for a toaster is too much
Was this particular instance in response to a woke mob? The article doesn't mention it. I see it as just as likely to have been initiated by a woke Amazon employee. Although the woke are probably a minority of Amazon employees, they are likely a vocal and organized minority, enough to make the rest scared to try to make a policy that would stop this kind of action.
Curious, which country are you referring to?

I never wrote a parallel for-loop in 15 years working on Firefox, because it's hard in C++, it's risky and difficult to maintain the thread-safety invariants, and it's not all that useful in most parts of the browser.

I write them quite often in Rust, because Rayon makes it super easy, there is almost no risk because the compiler checks the relevant thread-safety invariants, and I'm working on different problems where data parallelism is much more useful.
I'm not sure why you believe that this is something which is done upon them. A company the size of Amazon most likely has a significant LGBT community and the liberal leanings of the majority of people who have a higher level of education (presumably the majority of people in decision making positions) takes care of the rest.
Yeah, the sooner we move away from cowboy/Hero coding, the better. We could use a bit of humility in our field.
I draw a hard moral line here: Intentionally designing failure into a product is just plain wrong.

I don't mean fail safes, like building a table saw that fires an explosive charge to stop a spinning blade when it detects the presence of a finger [0]. If some given production capacity can only be sustained by selling fresh barrels of oil converted into easily-broken home goods is it worth sustaining?

Slightly relevant historical aside; when Adam Smith was thinking about his famed free markets, it wasn't government regulation that he wanted them to be free of. They were to be made free BY government regulation and enforcement. What some markets seem to have become (such as this US medical market) are the self-same unfree markets that Adam Smith believed were so damaging.

I for one would not be too upset to see the government hold a gun to the metaphorical heads of various bodies and organisations and tell them that they'd better start delivering a free market pretty damn quickly. Given a political class in the US that seems so obsessed with "free markets" (they're mostly not, of course - it's just sloganeering bullshit to enable weakening of protections and increased screwing over of everyone but the ruling classes), sure is a shitshow of captured, unfree markets.

Corporations are made of employees. Even their executives are just employees! Employees, as you might know, are people! They have opinions and preferences of all sorts!

The high-value workers and executives for Amazon are located exclusively in progressive areas. They probably raised a fuss and Amazon didn't want another Tim Bray situation. Given that the corporation loses nothing and gains a degree of loyalty from its employees, it wins.
Sixels is is an old feature from a couple DEC terminals that lets you print small BMP images in the terminal. We wouldn't be hacking the terminal if we were asking it to the things it was intended to do. I'm much more excited about KiTTY's new graphics protocol since it's very nearly DirectX for ANSI.

I used to say that wrt to memory leaks with Java and C++ and it remains true when comparing C and Rust:

It's not that it's easier to write programs in [Java|Rust]. It's that it makes it much harder to write the bugs.
So give me the bull case where there’s a regulatory gray zone and institutions who really don’t understand technology get to decide how it should be operated. I’ve been in contact with Finansinspektionen on multiple occasions and there’s a pretty low understanding of technology in general. Another detrimental aspect is that there’s very little competition to the regular banking system because of this.

So since HN is a place primarily for technologists who like to push things forward, maybe you have a stronger argument than just saying that you’re a Swede?
This story is not directly related to chrome.

In the original version of the legislation, google and facebook were required to pay up each time they served an <a> tag that pointed news.com sites. That's what google meant by "breaking the open web" - having to pay <a href> tax.

This was all fine by Microsoft. They apparently did some deal with Murdock in 2019 so appear to have been behind this all along. It's all echos of Gates era dealings.

Thanks for the reply. It seems that any cost is small and at parse time rather than runtime.

That seems like a good enough reason to always use double " for consistency to me.
I do not really see the connection between having a lot of LGBT employees and this decision. Not every gay person is obliged to have the same opinion on teenage gender dysphoria, whether it is wise to transition someone who is not old enough to drive a car responsibly and whether it is wise to banish books from a bookstore, let alone how the ideal blacklist should look like.

This kind of topics tends to be discussed by tiny, though passionate minorities. I would expect Amazon to have some TERFs, too.

There are at least some proposals that use ionised particles in the earth's upper atmosphere as a conductive elements, meaning you don't need a loop as such- just a wire pointing towards the earth with a big metal ball on the end. Lorentz force means you can accelerate prograde or retrograde.
> Code converted from C to Rust seems much more voluminous. Perhaps it’s easier to maintain if you know Rust well?

My experience is mostly the opposite. For many tasks Rust can be much more concise (see anything with string handling, for example).
Firefox did hard hard work, all the way through the dark ages, it kept the flame alive. I've used firefox since the start, I still use firefox, in fact my progression was netscape->mozilla->firefox, and i'll continue using firefox.

But chrome did the impossible, they shifted the Moms and Pops and most unbelievable, the absolute holy grail, the corporate desktop.
As long as you don't put an armed guard around, the property depends only on the law. The law depends mostly on the population paying attention to the jurys' verdicts.

Without that, there is nothing stopping me from selling/buying/giving/using/renting a gif, a building, a village, or a city.

E.g. what apes have is not a property. You only keep stuff as long as your alpha doesn't want it. That's a different concept.
Nobody forces you to hold cash for 25 years. In fact, you are given many incentives to invest it, inflation being just one.

No idea, but it's not necessarily "regular" cameras. For monitoring agriculture, infrared imagery is often used due to the difference reflective properties of vegetation (and other stuff) at different wavelengths; having multiple type of pictures, at different wavelengths, is useful to get better estimates of what you're looking at than what you would achieve with just visible light.

If we put on our cynical hat for a second, they aren't targeting these books because anyone cares about them. The point is to assert that the woke mob have power over Amazon, a powerful company.

Folding to their demands won't do anything useful, the nebulous 'woke' will make progressively more demands. If they can choose what Amazon does and doesn't sell, why stop at books nobody cares about? Keep going until actual resistance is met!

There are people living in Nevada and New Mexico, even within range of the test facilities: tests were carried out 65 miles from Las Vegas. Arguably the Sahara is better suited.

It's fair to criticise the way nuclear tests were carried out and perhaps whether they were needed at all, but this is a general criticism: My comparison with the US and the UK is to illustrate that the French did not do anything different or worse.

Eth2 and L2 are independent solutions that are both happening. After Eth2, low tx throughput on Ethereum will likely still cause transactions to be expensive enough that users strongly prefer to use L2.
I remember hearing about Second Life but not sure about the enterprise part nor the business sims. But, I found a really positive article on SimCity, from 2019: https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-simcity...

We are creating a virtual reality "venue" space for trade shows and conferences. We are the "virtual venue", like the Las Vegas Convention Center or SF Moscone Center. And, you can join via windows, Mac, or VR headset to walk around Venu , in first person view.

With a VR headset like Oculus Quest, you can use the hand controllers to move the avatar's hands & arms, in addition, to navigating your avatar forwards, backwards, & sidestepping, With Mac and Windows, your hands and arms on your avatar won't move.

Thanks.

"the corporation loses nothing"

Do you believe that? I would say such decisions are far from riskless, they can even jumpstart potential competitors and drag Amazon et al into future antitrust litigations. This kind of power being exercised wantonly tends to attract hostile attention.

"Corporations are made of employees... They have opinions and preferences of all sorts!"

They are, but we do not really know how many employees would prefer X or Y. There wasn't any internal ballot on this topic, AFAIK. It may well be the case of a tail wagging the dog.
>Not sure if this was a troll, but I'll assume it was honest and then point out that every system optimizes for profit.

If we bend profit to mean anything we like, yes.

But the commonly understood sense is "making more money", not "keeping party bureaucrats happy" or "making the private owner of the company proud of the quality of his products, even if he's not making as much as he could".
Not for long.

It's hilarious that liberals from SF and NYC will manage to make fascism cool.
This was already posted yesterday and ended up being an absolute disaster of a thread, filled with many people expressing their conviction that transgender individuals are suffering from a delusion. I really hope dang is paying attention this time, because if this is the kind of discourse Hacker News and by extension, YCombinator considers to be reflective of the beliefs of the community, it says a lot about whether or not trans members are welcome here or at YC at all.
GitHub renamed the master branch to main just after they got flack for not canceling their ICE contract.

One of those changes would have cost them real money.

With Amazon they probably want to score some cheap progressive points to paper over those awkward and possibly illegal union busting tactics that threaten their bottom line.

In terms of stock price nothing is gained, except when pandering to potential ad clickers like Google (apparently conservatives do not click on ads ...).

But the thousands of middle managers with non-technical degrees need to justify their existence. They always need to check some bullet points in their performance evaluations.

This is why you see HR moving to a "new" online HR platform every year and inventing nonsense like 360 degree reviews.

They can claim that they have "done" something!

Same here: This ban will have been discussed for at least a week, so another week is secure for their performance evaluations.

Another benefit of the culture wars is that they can be used to suppress the productive parts of the population. Especially technical people are intimidated easily (not in online comments but in real life), so if the parasites establish a sufficient number of taboos and enforce them, they control the actual workers.

Taboos have been a ruling class tool since the dawn of time.

Every bookstore in history has made decisions about which books to sell and which not. Amazon in this case is just a bookstore and should make a decision, if it’s market power is too big we should split it apart ( an online bookshop is not any kind of regulated utility and should never be one).
