But this is an odd conundrum. If Ethereum is decentralized, any such change must be achieved by a vote. Circumventing such a vote is detrimental to the eco-system in the long term, wouldn't you agree?
I sincerely doubt that the inside pages of books are a major factor in any buying decision.
>DER SPIEGEL: But you do save data about your users like the device ID, the phone model, the WhatsApp user name, the phone book and thereby also the numbers of all their contacts, right?

>Cathcart: It’s true that we do have some information about how people use WhatsApp and that we do know, for example, the device ID. We collect this only to secure our services and protect from attacks. When you use WhatsApp and allow access to your phone book, we only see the phone numbers, not the name.

In particular, they have (meta)data regarding specific messages being sent, as evidenced by their approach to curtailing misinformation:

>Cathcart: Messages that are highly forwarded can only be forwarded to one chat since last spring. That led to a drop in 70 percent of these messages. More recently, we are additionally showing you a link to the Google search on those messages, to let you check the facts directly.

I'm not sure how easy it is to figure out whether those 'highly forwarded messages' are all the same, or somehow link them without knowing anything about their content or linking them to information you already know about people. Maybe it's easy and I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, I don't know.
Any platform has always had the freedom to shape its reputation by choosing what to publish/amplify and how, within the law, regardless of what it pays the speakers (TV stations don't pay interviewees, for example). 230 has absolutely nothing at all to do with that.
To the last bit about promotions, I like to think that things are how we -- anyone in a team lead or manager position now or in the future -- shape them to be.

It's sad thinking about a state of affairs where I would be biased towards the person in my team I see most often - either through better guidance/collaboration (affecting promotability over time) or mere water-cooler familiarity.
Do you really think the individuals at Google are stupid?

I do not think so.

Not really a problem. All that means is the platform gets designed differently - such as actually giving users control of what accounts/content they are shown.
Maybe I wasn't clear - obviously sometimes you need to resort to training. But "they should have read the manual" doesn't excuse you from any attempt to make something safe and easy to use without reading the manual. That should always be done if possible.
Firstly, by default WhatsApp backs up your encryption keys to the cloud making your messages totally accessible and not E2E encrypted at all.

Secondly, Telegram secret messages have been repeatedly proven to be E2E encrypted, including by independent researchers, so "Pavel can read all your messages!" is just misinformation.

As for the alternatives, well Signal is very likely compromised given their server repo is abandoned and they refuse to address why (they maintain a closed source version). Why else would an "open source project" act that way, if not gagged?
That's an extremely bad article and I wouldn't take any of its claims seriously
This entire lengthy discussion is based upon the premise that the story is true. But in addition to Tom Scott's failure to find a historical contemporary source for any of it, mentioned elsewhere on this same page, there's the 2010 challenge to the article on the Wikipedia talk page.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:World's_littlest_skyscrap...

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:World's_littlest_skyscrap...

It turns out that John Kelso was in the same boat as Tom Scott: having failed to find any contemporary evidence whatsoever for this.

All of the supposition in this thread about how it could have happened has the unstated premise that it even did happen in the first place, for which no supporting evidence has come to light.

The sad thing is that the article went through Good Article review and was rewritten with the intention of making it clear that the majority of the article was an unsubstantiated local myth; yet here we have people on Hacker News who have clearly not absorbed that from reading it. The rewrite has not achieved its goal.
In the US, conservatives being a minority is mostly the product of the having disproportionate representation relative to population. The nature of a two party system incentives both parties to roughly obtain 50% of political power. There is no need to compromise your platform to get more votes when you already have enough to win. If larger states had more representation, then the Republicans would shift slightly further left.
Can you provide two examples of situations or conversations in which you found it hard to trust someone's words?

And if possible for each example, specify what made you mistrust them, and what would have made you trust them.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, do you have two examples of situations in which it was easy for you to trust someone's words? What made you trust them?
And it's actually this information Facebook is interested in, to build the "social graph".

The content doesn't matter, it knows who you communicate with and how often, and that's already a privacy concern (wife wants to know if husband cheats on her with someone else? and so on).

But of course the WhatsApp CEO doesn't mention this ... much easier to say "we don't look at your content" to give it the spin they need.
This is false, because WhatsApp backs up your keys to the cloud by default, meaning anyone can read your messages with a simple court order. Additionally, even if you decline to back them up your contacts may have.

So you have no idea whether it's actually E2E encrypted, and by default it is not.
Does anyone have insights into why data.table is as fast as it is? PS: Great work with polars!
But that's an apples/oranges comparison, isn't it? C# code in Unity games is predominantly high-level game behaviour / scripting. Most of the heavy lifting is done by Unity behind the scenes. So to me it's even more impressive that an emulator for a modern games console can be written in a 'managed' language.
Except the key is backed up to the cloud by default, subject to court orders. You may have declined to do this, but have your contacts?
Getting stuck on one way of doing things is one of the big drivers of badness in the workplace for sure. No matter how little sense it makes if you go from first principals today. I think many people just want to do the bare minimum and go home, which honestly I sympathize with quite a bit. ie. "who cares if its inefficient, I'll just be doing something else meaningless with that time".
You don't need any kind of standing to do what you're not prohibited to do by law, and the freedom to choose what to publish and amplify -- not because it is obligated to but to shape the institution's reputation -- is both well-established and crucial to both media organisations and universities.
Distinction without a difference?

They still know who you are and who you're connected with by phone number.

I think a hobby project written in a general purpose language being the second fastest dataframe library is a hell of an accomplishment.
So, we need words that say on what dimension it is performing better.

You're going back to the moral argument against intellectual property, and I get you, it's sort of compelling. My point was that suggesting that no one stands to lose anything if we throw out the concept is a bit bonkers. Schematically the argument is something like this:

1. Under capitalism, the only way someone who makes something for others can be sure of providing for themselves and their dependents is if they have a property right in the things they make, thereby ensuring that it has exchange value for them as a commodity.

2. Property rights in intellectual or abstract creations do not exist. Because (insert moral argument), no one ever truly has an intellectual property right. (your premise)

Conclusion: People who create intellectual or abstract works should not be sure of providing for themselves and their dependents, and should therefore do something else and find "other ways to make money". In fact, we can't even say that people forced into some other work (or starvation) have lost anything, because they never had a moral right to it to begin with.

Me: Welllllll

I hope it's obvious that the conclusion doesn't follow from the premises. (Though we can get into that if you like.) I think it's also obvious from this perspective that this is certainly not like the Nestle case. Nestle is making things worse by monopolizing water that they didn't even create and would exist if they did not. Artists are people who create things that you and I love which brighten our lives, and are asking that they not go hungry in exchange. They are not seizing a pre-existing work of art and holding it out in exchange for an income, they are instead creating things and witholding them to ensure an income the only way that is possible under our present system of capitalism.

I want to live in a world where artists can be assured of not going hungry. I certainly don't think we need intellectual property to get ourselves there, and I'm nearly certain most artists themselves don't intrinsically love intellectual property. But this means we need an alternative. What does that look like: UBI? Something even more drastic? That's the question I was getting at toward the end of the comment you replied to.
I´m a law graduate and a product manager in the legal space at the moment, so this is very interesting to me. Templating is a solved problem in general and there are many ways to achieve the same thing, some startups are build simply on the premise that a nice frontend for a templating engine will be a huge value.

But I think in order to create meaningful change for legal professionals, you need more components.
1. Knowledge management
a. privat knowledge
b. public knowledge like laws
2. Templating
3. Insights in the combination of 1. and 2.
4. Results that look equally good as custom build contracts in Word
5. A link to reference code, if there is code enforcing the legal prosa

Its all about knowledge graphs and an interface to them.
Polars is to Pandas as Ballista/datafusion is to Spark on a very broad basis.
As someone else mentioned here, MINIX is BSD-licensed rather than using a copyleft license like GPL.

Intel is not required to share the source code (and they don't).

If MINIX as a publicly developed project does die then it's a data point for copyleft licensing being more robust.
I made this to serve my own need (which it does), to allow my Synology NAS a clean shutdown in case of a power cut. My UPS is not recognized if plugged into the NAS via USB, so it is plugged into a different (SBC) computer instead, which runs this.

I am not a fan of Ruby and I only trust software I wrote (a.k.a.: I prefer my own bugs in critical pieces of my infra), so here it is.

The closest known black hole to Earth is 1000 lightyears away, so it's probably not much of a risk.
Indeed... I have downloaded a lot of movies, TV show, music, software, and books over the years. But I’ve never felt it necessary to subscribe to this insane justification of it, or to glorify it as some sort of political statement with “information wants to be free”.

I was simply to cheap to pay for these things. To be sure: I would have only bought a small fraction of what I pirated if that wasn’t possible. And I continue to believe that the lack of Spotify-style licensing is leaving a lot of money for creators on the table (journalism being the clear leader in that regard right now).
> later models ending easy overclocking.

Except the classic case of the Celeron 300a which let you go from 300Mhz to 450Mhz with a simple change of a motherboard FSB clock setting.

I was nervous when I ordered the parts - but stunned that it was so easy for me to do, and left me with a machine that was effectively faster than anything Intel was officially selling at the time.
Wonder what they use underneath; don't most relation dbs implement as int?
They might display the same way, but they shouldn't read the same way, which matters a lot to users of screen readers.
Low/high functioning isn't really a specific medical term, but basically it just means if you can live on your own or not.

If you're not only high functioning but gifted* then you're "twice exceptional".

The fact that Android apps don't directly call the Linux API is not at all relevant (unless Google switch out the Linux kernel for an alternative like Fuchsia/Zircon). The discussion here is about OS market share.
No I don't think there's any value in us chasing each other in ideological circles, thanks, although

> commie slogans

made me smile and I do have a (genuine) follow up question about that: when I hear people use phrases like that I often wonder if they see 'pure' (let's say, US-style) capitalism and communism as a binary choice, or two ends of a spectrum. What's your viewpoint? Like I said, not a loaded question.

Any diet can be healthy as long as you hit your micronutrient targets for your age and sex and keep calories at your tdee if you want to maintain or slightly lower if you want to lose weight.
let me be clear: i actually meant that. I wasn't trying to be facetious. I honestly want to thank you for doing a great job.
What could've ended the pandemic around 6 months ago was human challenge trials on vaccines, and paying much more for earlier supplies of vaccines including those donated to other countries. (What counts as an impossible supply challenge is very different at the $500 price point than at the $50 price point.)
My rule of thumb: when there are whole civilizations that exist on a diet, you will be okay.

In this case the Jain are a prime example.
I don't know. If I want to publish something I need a tool that publishes it. If everything can just vanish at any time it can have terrible consequences. Competing with businesses that are allowed to make false promises is really hard. I would have much rather paid in stead of losing the audience and the communities I build again and again and again and again until I just gave up. Before I deleted everything I had many thousands of well organized bookmarks gathered over decades. 90% of it was dead links. My blog is 90% dead links. Many people have some perverted fetish with deleting the proverbial geocities, I have hundreds of articles that don't function without. I'm not allowed to republish [your] lost content either.

If you're on a non-touchscreen device then there is a hover-over pop-up with the fish name and tonnage caught.

That still doesn't cut it: there are 18 fish in the graph key but at first glance the graph has around half that number. The others can be seen if you zoom right in but it's still not easy to hover over the pixel-wide slivers of similar blue.

That said I don't think the tonnage details are the point of this graph but rather a more general message: "Tuna fishing increased 6-fold over 65 years, skipjack makes up most of the increase". I think it communicates this message well. Perhaps more "infographic" than "graph"?
Like any toString() implementation, it is meant for debugging. If the object you're calling toString() on is "attachable" (e.g. a Query), then you get the vendor specific string for additional convenience. If you just call substring(a, b, c).toString(), you'll get a generic rendering.

If you always want the vendor specific SQL string, use DSLContext.render(QueryPart)

Imaginary property is imaginary.
> Your "parameterized" queries are still serialized strings. Many language bindings for SQL interfaces don't have good support for serializing data types, so you will often see things like ?::datetime in the template string.

Ctrl+F "B12". Here's a quoted reference from the article:

> [V]egans exhibited a higher estimated prevalence of inadequacies for some nutrients, in particular vitamin B12 (69.9% in men and 83.4% in women <55 years of age), compared to meat-eaters. […] Our study highlighted that, overall, self-reported vegetarians and vegans may meet nutritional recommendations.

Those numbers are crazy high. I am not an expert in any of this, so take this with a healthy dose of skepticism, but I wonder if a vegan diet can be considered healthy without supplements given the current range of available non-animal B12 sources. I think there are some algae sources but I'm not sure you can get enough B12 without getting too much of something else. There's also the question of how efficiently you absorb the nutrients in the food; I heard it's harder to absorb B12 from algae than from cheese for example. Happy to be shown evidence for or against...
This argument isn’t wholly unreasonable. But it would lead, in practical terms, simply to the abolition of anonymous and pseudonymous accounts on social media.

I could live with that, but I get the feeling those calling for Sec 230 abolition want something entirely different.

I’m also not entirely sure what sort of “liability” people are talking about. In the US, there is very little liability for any sort of speech. Insults, no matter how gross and objectionable, are generally protected as simply being subjective opinions, for example. So is blatant racism.

Only statements of facts that are false, made knowingly and with malicious intent, are actionable. I believe very little of what people object to on social media actually falls under that definition.

I was thinking the same thing. I believe the use a hash but surely each hash would be different if they were encrypted with different public/private keys?

I am pretty sure they are using hashes to stop the child exploitation from being spread on WhatsApp.
They have a feature called "instant deposit" that's the default and takes like a week to settle deposits. If you instead use a (non-instant) wire transfer then your deposit will be settled the same day.

They lack the ability to save destination addresses and hide the destination address while you input your 2FA code, so you can always enjoy wondering if you will actually get your crypto.

> Once the rover knows it's position, it can now determine the safest spot to land using an onboard hazard map. The spot it chose to land at vs the spot it actually landed at was 5 meters apart.

To add a bit more info, poorly remembered from this excellent We Martians episode[0] interviewing Swati Mohan, who is the Mars 2020 Guidance, Navigation and Controls Operations Lead and was the voice of the landing. Go listen to it!

On the way down an image is taken. Using data about how the atmospheric entry is going, and with a lot of constraints that include the hazard map and what kinds of manoeuvres are possible with the descent system (in particular it does a divert and there are minimum and maximum distances the divert must lie between), a single pixel is chosen from that image to aim for. That pixel represents a 10m x 10m square, and the rover landed with 5m of that square.

The hazard map is created from images with a 1m x 1m resolution, from one of the orbiters (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter I think). Those images are scaled down for the hazard map, as the on-board image processing had very tight bounds on how long it could search for a valid landing site. The podcast goes into some cool detail about that whole system and its technical design.

Can someone explain what he means when he says there is no physical?
From the first glance at the title I expected a worse article.

But actually it was unexpectedly non partisan. It read like a good and readable literary review. My SO studied nutritional science (actually Ecotrophology) and I gained quite some insights by reading lots of the studies directly. A lot of them I recognized in this article.
"experts" is not a word we should be using anymore.
Logically that makes sense but we can't even seem to secure our southern border with Mexico.

And interestingly there are only 16 agricultural stations for all of California. They are only in place at major highways.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Border_Protection_S...

And if I kind of zoom into Google maps I count 36 crossing between the Oregon/California border just between the Pacific ocean and I-5. Sure, a lot of those are probably logging roads and such, but that's just a 60 mile stretch.
In some areas, vaping is seen as something only the dregs of society would do. In other places, it's just seen as an alternative to smoking. But smoking itself is seen as a low class or high class activity as well depending on where you are.
Fasting (AKA not eating anything for 40 days) can be healthy. The real question is: Is it sustainable, even in edge cases like childhood or pregnancy?

Premise: there are no colorful swans

Conclusion: all swans must be either grey or white

Remember that, if you make it a job, you're no longer free to decide how you want to raise your children, what values to teach them etc, you're now just a caretaker that produces a labor source for their employer. I'm not sure that's such an attractive thought.
Jainas are not necessarily vegans.

Although the nation of India checks out for vegetarianism. One wonders what that collective moment of culture was that a whole group of people decided that meat eating was not going to be a part of their lifestyle.
I’ve been a vegan for 35 years and although I think it’s more healthy. It’s likely the biggest health benefit that someone would get going vegan in the past would be that most processed ‘crap’ food is not vegan and you are forced to make healthier choices.

I find it annoying that the rise in veganism means there are far more bad choices I can make: big chain burgers, ready meals, cakes, cheesy pizzas are all now available to me.
Good article, one question: "We talked about Bitcoin for half the meeting. I asked him if he owned any, and he said no, but he tells all his clients they should own it. "
