people want their fix and they want it now and many are just apathetic to the idea of privacy on the net to the point we need a better solution.
Maybe a service or a public blockchain where you send a hash of a digital artefact which is signed with a time constrained key. The signed hash is attached to the digital artefact and you can check the hash on the blockchain or on the api's service.

A blockchain is more wasteful, but a service requires a leap of faith in the provider.

Turning startup sounds off is definitely the sensible default for laptops.
Is it that, or are people suddenly becoming aware of these specific podcasts/groups due to current events? Which is more likely: spotify pushing specific agendas, or spotify employing a recommendation engine that recommends things that see a surge in listening activity?

Regarding your example of "stop asian hate"- the asian instagram community has been talking about it a lot in wake of current events. It is entirely unsurprising that people would be checking it out after being previously unaware.

>Why would anyone say “white isn't a culture” except to express animosity towards white people?

I truly believe the word "white" does not, in practice, describe a specific culture, or even a specific set of closely related cultures, and I have no animosity toward white people. I don't think that opinion comes anywhere near the "almost exclusively held by racists" category.

Sounds reasonable. However, the access to previous orders should be limited in time.

email addresses, like snail mail addresses do expire: what happens if the email address owner changes after the fact? Should you serve the recap and other snail mail addresses a long time after the deal is done and finished? Unless you have mandatory requirements (commercial law) to keep serving invoices/recaps, I'd recommend you seal those away when they aren't needed anymore (and protect them with a password).

Something "new" to consider, is how Chrome[0], FFx and company now "suggest" strong passwords when registering on a website. Using the email-OTP might be more cumbersome than using your phone's or PC's built-in password manager.

Less data to protect = easier to deal with.

It's even mode magical than that : the docker containers run inside a Linux kernel that is not the one running your WSL2 environment, but the two are in cahoots such that the filesystem is shared and hence container mounts are as fast as they would be on a bare metal Linux box (e.g. -v $PWD:/workdir).
It's so refreshing to have content that is actually just good content and isn't some trainwreck of seeking attention from an increasingly more vapid audience.
I really don't understand why people decide to work in computer security, today it's really an arms race. I see how it's like games of lockpicking, but honestly I don't understand the value of it.

It's like being in the arms trade: what matters is who you decide to trade with.

Honestly, I'd rather see myself as anti-cyber-war at this point, like anti-war protests, meaning telling people to use computers for less critical tasks, and disengaging from certain areas.
The modding scene for these games is alive and well. FWIW Bethesda keeps updating even Switch Doom with some of the latest mods (Romero’s Sigil, etc).

The problem is that not having the legitimate interests clause in there potentially causes far more problems - suddenly the law has to enumerate what all the purposes for data processing might be, and new purposes are illegal by default. That would have produced even more HN outrage about GDPR.
Yes, but what do you tell a straight, white writer? Not the publishing industry as a whole that has been rightly lambasted as being too homogeneous historically.

What do you tell a single writer? Should they contribute to the problem by telling more stories about white guys? Exclusively focus on their own experiences?

Or should they try to learn from people around them and include those people in their stories to create more diversity? And if so, where's the line between diversity and tokenism? Between inclusion and appropriation?

The Explosion of E-Commerce During Covid Creates Opportunities for New Tech
Having worked in Whole Foods and been surrounded by family who prefer organic, free/fair type foods, I must say I do understand there is a market for the chocolates we usually see marketed as non-European. There's an emphasis on dark chocolate, "artisanal blends" with spices, etc. The kind of chocolate people pay extra for because they think it's special, then don't touch because they paid extra for and want to preserve it, only for it to expire in the pantry.

Let me be honest. I prefer European-style chocolate. Milk chocolate. White chocolate. They're much richer, and I hope there will continue to be a great supply of this type of chocolate. Maybe that Swiss brand recognition has more to do with the fact that it actually tastes really good versus what's being attributed to hand-wavy concepts about colonialism and power structures.
Yeah, but that's a point about the line of work, I think. The fact that certain "professions" will inevitably corrupt, because they are fundamentally based on deceit, so ultimately it's not possible to win if you stay clean. LeCarrè's aim throughout has always been to dismantle the James Bond myth, which was massive when he was writing and massively at odds with his own experience, so he attacks that world from the foundations.

Or at least that's how I see it.
And here is the relevant issue if you want some CSS that might work a little better:

> TD Ameritrade offers Level II quotes free of charge to both professional and non-professional traders. This is a very generous policy. Not all brokers offer Level II quotes at no cost. For example, TradeStation charges $10 per month for Level II quotes for non-professionals, while professional traders must pay a very steep $110 per month for the same data.

Nice! competition is great.
What does obsolete mean anyway?

As long as the compiler remains backwards compatible nobody forces anyone to rewrite programs that deliver their requirements at the time they were developed.

Major compatibility breaks occur on a very long time-frame and most certainly with a version bump prominent enough to draw anyone's attention. Personally, I expect builds to suddenly break on dependencies rather than anything else.

It's a non-issue.
...but it was, nevertheless, moved away from New York City and Philadelphia (the prior centers of government) and not located in Richmond or Baltimore (both of which existed as cities in the general area).
x86 – why unite when you can fragment?
At OrgPad, we are well over 100, maybe even 200 namespaces in Clojure and ClojureScript and I don't think we have any trouble keeping up. Most of the problems we have are frankly not in any capacity connected to Clojure or ClojureScript but rather half-baked, inconsistent technologies and their implementations like CSS, browser interoperability/ APIs mostly. The server-side (Clojure) is rather boring currently, so can't say much about that - most of the stuff seems to be just ok. There seems to be a lack of libraries for transforming image/ video formats in Java for the newer formats like WebP, AV1. Probably most people drop to imagemagick/ ffmpeg? That is kind of a problem, but not really pressing. We have lost much more time to CSS and bad browser APIs.

I like to look further into the past for ruminations that, while not as concise, explore the same territory. A passage from the Aeneid says -

Rumour the swiftest of all evils. Speed lends her strength, and she winds vigour as she goes; small at first through fear, soon she mounts up to heaven, and walks the ground with head hidden in the clouds. Mother Earth, provoked to anger against the gods, brought her forth last, they, say as sister to Coeus and Enceladus, swift of foot and fleet of wing, a monster awful and huge, who for the many feathers in her body has as many watchful eyes beneath – wondrous to tell – as many tongues, as many sounding mouths, as many pricked-up ears. By night, midway between heaven and earth, she flies through the gloom, screeching, and droops not her eyes in sweet sleep; by day she sits on guard on high rooftop or lofty turrets, and afrights great cities, clinging to the false and the wrong, yet heralding truth.
It depends on the size of your RAM as far as I understand the issue.
I think it's generally understood that 3x leveraged ETFs are terrible for long-term.

That is exactly the Streisand effect.

My local libraries used to have day/week events specifically to read banned books. I wonder if that's still a thing? If not, publishers/libraries should bring it back as it's a win/win for them.
"Black" was a label applied to persons of many different cultures in the context of colonialism and slavery. In some places, such as the USA, Black became a cultural identity because it was a legal one; these people and their offspring were governed by a separate set of laws and only legally allowed to raise families with each other.

"Asian" is too broad a term to be much use outside of geography.

"Latin" is a little more coherent, based on both geography and language. It's still pretty broad though; there are common threads but I don't know anyone who identifies simply as Latin.

"White" as a cultural identity is a relatively new invention. Personally I don't see much in the way of a shared culture here. It's problematic for many because in the USA it's been very prominently used by persons and groups who've been opposed to increasing civil rights for non-whites. It's distasteful to others because it represents a flattening of culture -- in my experience, white Americans will generally more readily identify with a particular subset of European heritage and/or with their own state or region. But this may be changing.
The issue here is that YouTube (and other platforms) encourage this. It works, in that if you ask people to like comment and subscribe, they like comment and subscribe more. (And that boosts your standing within the system getting you more impressions.)

Plenty of good creators do this (as it works), just to keep up with their peers. It really has nothing to do with the quality of the rest of their content. Don’t blame the player, blame the game IMO
You may be right about Gurba, but you're dead wrong if you're trying to imply that the criticism of even just that book (to say nothing of the others mentioned in the article) was based only on the grounds of 'bad writing'. From the article:

“I was sure I was the wrong person to review this book,” Groff wrote, noting that neither she nor the author were Mexican migrants. “In contemporary literary circles, there is a serious and legitimate sensitivity to people writing about heritages that are not their own because, at its worst, this practice perpetuates the evils of colonization, stealing the stories of oppressed people for the profit of the dominant.”
I wonder too - last time I tried faceapp it did a very convincing gender swap on me, but the face changed significantly with every photo I took - depending on angle, lighting, who knows? I began to suspect to wasn't making 'me' into a woman at all, just superimposing a female face that fit. (One of the best transforms actually looked like my wife, which was a moment for Freudian reflection).

Anyway, unless faceapp has improved a lot, I'm sceptical this guy was always able to show as the same 'person'.

Right, but this isn't what the proposition is. It's that a person has a right to end their own life, not that someone else can just arbitrarily choose to euthanize someone else.
An influx of young professionals and a consequent push of older, browner folks out. A bunch of neighborhoods in Southeast have changed character substantially in the last couple of decades.

Not that places have to remain static, but these are neighborhoods with a long and interesting history. DC isn't just a government seat. It's a real city, sandwiched between the Confederate capital and a slaveowning but non-seceding state. That gave rise to a unique culture -- including having one of the nation's most prominent Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

That culture persists and evolved, and it's worthwhile to consider that rather than simply replacing it. Exactly how to do that, though, is an ongoing challenge.
It’s intended originally to confirm boot, a real issue to solve back in the day. Some people get a warm nostalgia from it now. Not all choices need to be logical to improve a product for some.

I normally trade futures but I just checked and I’m also getting full level two depth on stocks with TD Ameritrade‘s desktop platform. I do not pay any fees to them for this.
Per the readme, architectures aren't cross-compatible, so you can't run commands from an x86 box on an ARM box (and presumably vice-versa). That would rule out the pinebook and most SBCs as potential use-cases.
Agreed!

And if government services do go online only, then I think the government is obligated to provide free internet access and training to those who can't afford it, in the same way that they provide roads and legal defense.

> Also, all of those strongly identify as leftists, just of a different strain than is currently dominant in the US media and Democratic party

Matt Yglesias is, AFAICT—and while I kinda burned out on him fairly early in his blogging career I read him heavily then and occasionally since and this doesn't seem to have changed—a center-right figure of almost exactly the sort dominant in the Democratic Party. He sometimes has fairly intense disagreements on particular points with dominant figures, but he doesn't seem to be particularly to their left.
>People are free to play the game (and metagame) with virtually no cost of entry besides time.

Fees make using small amounts of money prohibitively expensive. When I casually looked into yield farming, for instance, I saw a lot of 'small' players struggling not to lose a significant portion of it just from setting things up.
Curious if this trend could ever take off in America. Given our culture of overwork, I doubt it would become a national trend, but I could certainly large tech companies adopting this convention, and maybe some cities or states. Anyone here have personal experience with a four day workweek?

Delivery drivers are pretty well incentivized to not care as long as the package is delivered. They are constantly told to deliver more packages faster. I remember reading that even if you select sign for delivery, in NY the drivers will just leave packages in the lobby. And there is rampant package theft.

Just because some opportunists did a few ICOs does not mean all crypto is bad. Without crypto there would be no online banking, or any form of digital security, secure logins, etc. Crypto is a useful tool. Blockchains are a tool. And so are digital signatures. If you combine those tools, you can do some useful things like creating tamper proof audit logs documenting where information came from all the way from the sensor to your eyeballs. It's just a chain of digital signatures.

I tried hard to avoid using the word block chain in the original comment to avoid exactly this kind of knee jerk response. But yes, kind of an obvious tool to use to record chains of evidence in a tamper proof way. Glad you jumped to that conclusion as well.

Contrary to the popular belief, not every block chain based thing has to be an investment scam. I don't think we need a separate coin for this; just a shared repository of truth and fact with full auditing. Blockchains are kind of designed to be that. If you know a better way, please provide it.

And just to pre-empt it, obviously my preferred flavor of block chain for this would be miner free proof of stake rather than proof of work.

Wake me up when people are being arrested for speech, or laws are being passed to restrict free speech. I see neither of these things happening (in the USA) beyond the most extreme cases.

Woody Allen has every right to write a book, but he's not entitled to a publisher publishing it. He could easily self-publish it using any one of dozens of self-publishing platforms, or just put it on the web if he wants. Nobody can really stop him unless there's something civilly actionable in there.

All I see is private companies refusing to provide a platform to content that they don't want to support (often because it offends or just turns off large numbers of customers) or violates their terms. That's not censorship in the legal sense. You aren't entitled to someone else's platform.

Carte blanche access to platforms has never been a thing. Can you imagine walking into a newspaper office in the 1980s and demanding to publish a full page classified ad with any content you want in their newspaper and then screaming "censorship!" and "cancel culture!" when they said no? They'd send you to the psychiatric emergency ward.

The right historically defends the rights of businesses to act freely and would be defending platforms and publishers if it were not far-right content that were being dropped. Since it's far-right content, now the right has suddenly decided that access to large scale platforms is an entitlement that needs to be guaranteed by the state. The right has also done a complete 180 on the anti-trust issue... both only for tech companies that operate content platforms.

It's just so transparently partisan. They wouldn't give a crap if left-wing speech were being deplatformed.

There's one last WTF here. The right was always critical of the sexual revolution going all the way back to the 1950s. This #metoo stuff would be a golden opportunity for conservatives to sling a bit of "we told you so" shade at sexual libertines, pointing out that some sexual taboos may have existed to protect people from sexual predation.

Instead the right sides with accused sex abusers and even pedophiles, but only when the accusers are "libs." It's no longer even remotely about ideas. It's about winning for the sake of winning.
