I think Netflix/Spotify/YouTube and the like “hurt” piracy more than any legal manoeuvre.

My own piracy would go down another 50% if I had access to free/paid services like in USA. Then there’s the time I couldn’t play a movie I rented on my TV through Apple because I guess it didn’t like my old TV’s HDMI interface...

I think that explicit changelogs for a journalistic document are actually necessary in order to verify the trustworthiness of the publisher - how else are you going to notice when they start silently "updating" articles that were pushing an extreme (and factually incorrect) narrative at publishing time?
Yeah the original OpenSearch project is a different enough domain that I think confusion will be minimal. We have talked to the maintainer and he is supportive. We have also posted disambiguation in case anyone does get confused. https://opensearch.org/disambiguation.html
I think it has more to do with the fact that for 10-20$/month you can subscribe to Netflix/Spotify and not bother with torrent. That said, torrenting is still alive and well.
ElasticSearch will need to relatively quickly come out with a feature the OpenSearch doesn’t replicate or people will just use the minimum that both support (see MySQL vs MariaDB).
I appreciate your thoughtful reply.

I think the problem in it with respect to mine lies here: "because the relevant society has decided that it is obvious why sex with minors is harmful"

But it's not obvious who is a minor or when a minor having sex is wrong. I commented elsewhere, but what about two 15 year olds? A 15 and a 20? In some country X where age of consent is 14, vs. in some country Y where age of consent is 18--is there a moral difference? Where is the real moral line that society has decided upon, according to you? 17.375 years?

The Minsky / RMS thing involved this sort of question. The girl was 17.

I have a specific need and I'm wondering if any of these static site hosts offer a solution.

I have a static site I made for a friend's business and all they need is the ability to switch out a PDF on the site periodically. The approach I've done so far is to have a simple sinatra app that is password protected and gives them an upload form that replaces the pdf on the server. Do any of these hosts offer an asset manager that would let my friend manage images or pdfs via a simplified admin interface and then rebuild the site with the new assets?
> He even continues to defend Minsky in this letter.

Honest question - is there a way in which someone could not immediately condemn Minsky without defending him?
That uses a licensed ARM Cortex design under the hood.
Around the internet, I saw 5% transaction fee. But, like Plaid, they probably customize the fee based on the product sold and volume.
A rather popular opinion in Russian space circles is that there were three towering events in space - Sputnik on October 4 '57, Gagarin on April 12 '61 and Armstrong on July 20 '69. And no fourth so far - e.g. first Columbia flight isn't of that level of importance.
First off, I really like your username! I'm sure you had a particular robotic animal in mind when you chose it.

Secondly, a gain from one's own rewards is supposed to be in one direction. A person is entitled to the fruits of his labor. Not anyone else. There are only a few people at the top of any profession or activity. But this fact seems to be ignored for some "utopian" dream where the guilt or coercion of the successful compels, via self-abnegation, some "compensation" to the masses for the latter's lack of success. That the best are merely cogs to keep churning to the rhythms and dictates of his fellow man and of his government. That the best see no value in their own work or selves without others as their chief barometer.

However, I don't see it argued that Usain Bolt should slow down so that he doesn't ruin the Olympic Sprint for the rest of his competitors. I don't see it argued that intelligent students should stop going to Harvard/Stanford/{take your pick} because such academic success makes everyone else look mediocre by comparison. Why should it be any different in Silicon Valley? Why should one accept inefficiency or inadequacy? It benefits no one to either become or accept a prize that is lesser in value than the sum of one's actions. Except perhaps for martyrs and masochists.
Yeah, I was confused, we can't downvote. IMO flag should only be used for offtopic or content that is against side rules.

I nenver flagged any submission, even if I think is offtopic or low quality, I can ignore it, maybe the people that engaged it have other opinion so why I should decide for others what should they see on the home page.

My proposal might not be better , so I admit I can be wrong and I let the HN stuff to do their job how they think is best, just wanted to tell my opinion that even here stuff might be hidden for you because a small number of people decided it.
If only there were an international, barely regulated network that allows people in one country to interact with people in another.
I don't really think being told to run `xcode-select --install` is worse than being thrown into the Microsoft Store, because one is a flow-breaking action, and the other is not. If I'm at a Terminal and I don't have something installed, the fastest way to resolve the problem is with a Terminal command.
You block on/off ramps and lose a lot of important information on these transactions, the people involved and tax revenue, seems like a losing proposition, but definitely doable. You can't stop people from running a software on their computer short of shutting down the whole internet, even then, there are satellites with the blockchain data now, so it'd be really hard.
Installing a whole-house water softener completely cures this and is very cheap (at least in the USA).
This is like saying that when you shoot someone, it's the bullet that killed them, not you. Maybe it's technically true but it's not very useful, it's just pedantry used in an attempt to deny culpability.
Great so long as Xi is a benevolent father. As soon as he becomes abusive you will have no outlet for protest or change of control. Nice system while it works. And when it breaks untold misery.

Democracy is inefficient crap for the most part, but it has a safety valve for the worst times.

China may even have 20, 30, 100 years of prosperity with such a system ... then it will inevitably fall on dark times.
> 2000sqft, still 3-4 bedroom, 4000-8000sqft lot, 2-car garage if you're fortunate

In what way is this not "comfortable"? What is your definition of "comfortable"?

Like, I grew up in a 3BR, 2 car garage house that was <2000 SqFt. It was absolutely "comfortable". I had friends who were lower income who had smaller houses who were comfortable.

You're describing an inflated, luxury lifestyle. You even sort of admit it when you say "very comfortable lifestyle for most people in tech". That's not "very comfortable", that's "very comfortable for people who are already very comfortable". I feel like this is a sort of keeping up with the joneses thing: comfortable implies "more comfortable than the median person in your social circle, where your social circle is all tech people with 400K a year or more household incomes".

Like another way of putting this is that a 400K income should allow you to afford a nice 3-BR rental and kids and save money. If you don't have kids, 400K allows you to keep a luxury apartment in SF and another one in the south bay, you know, if you want to do that.

Google's AI extreme censorship on youtubes comments hurting truth
I saw a video of a person on youtube telling people who were less sophisticated in statistics about how blacks,hispanic other races were less effected than white race in COVID, meaning inturn that you guys relax and don't take it serious , when in fact the data he showed of a slide by winscoin department of health services showed completely opposite , the slide clearly says per 100000 from each race in winscoin community , most effected were hispanic,other races etc , only the cases of whites looked greater in number overall , not per 100000.
People in youtube comments totaly fell for the misguidance , praising , and saying we are protected , and thanking the guy , i saw it and commented how he is misrepresenting the facts and actually they are 180 degree otherwise , even the data he showed is screaming that he is lying , but youtube AI deleted by comment every time , what is happening is wrong , i am myself an ML engineer and know how AI works , it is such inhuman experience for me , that truth is silenced like that.

I changed by comment so that i just say facts and do not say something insulting , but even those got deleted.I think it is very similar to what Metal Gear solid game predicted , world run by AI's censoring left and right ,it was my first experience with this , and it got me thinking are we heading in right direction , i am myself deeply working on AI research and it shocked me how would a world look like where truth would be censored and people will believe false information.

> What's the advantage of writing an editor like this in Rust? And by advantage, I mean an advantage for me, the end user.

None. In fact, Rust software will typically include larger and more frequent downloads for bug fixes, upgrades, and security fixes. The reason for that is that C programs, like vim, can fix bugs and security issues by updating individual dynamic libraries, which are likely to be part of the system. Rust programs can't, because they are statically linked, and this means the whole program needs to be downloaded and installed again. Also, Rust makes it much easier to manage and include library dependencies, which has the consequence that Rust programs in the long run will have an exponentially larger and deeper tree of dependencies, which means that fixes which are needed to fix some bug in a library will be more frequent. This is an effect which can be observed well for other languages like Python or Javascript with npm libraries.

That is probably fine for a web browser (which you basically need to re-install every other week anyways, and which uses auto-update for that), and might not have too much impact for a small tool, but once a program accumulates a large set of functionality and complexity (and therefore has more dependencies) let's say like Gimp, OpenOffice, VLC, or FileZilla, this is likely to become noticeable.

Another thing which might or might not be an issue is that software which is very fast-moving, and in rapid development, and adopts to breaking changes in its dependencies (as the Rust development model supports) is also a bit more likely to breaking changes in its own user interface, APIs and features. The reason for this is that with the included bundling of pinned library versions into the Rust executables, there is much less pressure to keep a stable API, as when software is composed of individual components which are used in many places with a strictly-defined API.
This is actually not necessarily the case, it depends on what the software's authors promise (and keep) to its users. And breaking changes are very often an inconvenience for users; users and developers of software tend to have somewhat differnet opinions on how much friction and breakage is OK in order to get upgraded software.

These sound great. I’m trying to find the first good good that can be made automatically in a machine the size of a coke vending machine. This seems like a good candidate.

Ideally, I’d want a burrito machine that just spit out a perfect burrito without any human involvement (besides stocking it once a day or something). But cooking the meats seems like too much of an issue.

French tacos seems good because the meat can be cooked as it is Panini pressed.

I was a Vim user for years, tried out Kakoune and never went back. I think for many Vim users there are many possible improvements. Hell, even as a Kakoune user i'd still like to see tweaks.

But, i agree with the GP comment - i don't see anything on this intro page that tells me why i'd want to use it.
As an aside, it always frustrates me when people say that someone got rich from investing, when really they got rich from running an investment firm and doing investment managing. It gives the wrong impression that people are getting rich from their own investment.

ARM is all over the place with its ISA. x86 has the benefit that most companies made it 'IBM compatible'. There are one off x86 ISAs but they are mostly forgotten at this point. The ARM CPU family itself is fairly consistent (mostly), but included hardware is a very mixed bag. The x86 has on the other hand the history of build it to make it work like IBM. All the way from how things boot up, memory space addresses, must have I/O, etc. ARM on the other hand may or may not have that depending on which ISA you target or are creating. Things like the raspberry PI has changed some of that as many are mimicking the broadcom ISA and specifically that with the raspberry pi one. The x86 arch has also picked up some interesting baggage along the way because of what it is. We can mostly ignore it but it is there. For example you would not build a ARM board these days with an IDE interface but some of those bits still exist in the x86 world.

ARM is more of a tool kit to build different purpose built computers (you even see them show up in usb sticks). While x86 is particular ISA that has a long history behind it. So you may see something like 'Amazon builds its own ARM computers'. That means they spun their own boards, built their own toolchains (more likely recompiled existing ones), and probably have their own OS distro to match. Each one of those is a fairly large endeavor to do. When you see something like 'Amazon builds its own x86 boards', they have shaved out the other two parts of that and are focusing on hardware. That they are building their own means they see the value in owning the whole stack. Also if you have your own distro means you usually have to 'own' building the whole thing. So I can go grab an x86 gcc stack from my repo provider. They will need to act as the repo owner and build it themselves and keep up with the patches. Depending on what has been added that can be quite the task all by itself.

Could also be the tail wagging the dog. People arrested for say being drunk in public are gonna be broke, because they don’t have mansions to drink in.

Could be that the cultural problems you’re describing follow whole towns being hollowed out as all wealth is transferred to winner take all cities, as free trade knocks out industries with no help nor replacement.
Is there a reason this blog isn’t using HTTPS?
Okay, sure— that was sloppy. Obviously you're going to have bug fixes and unexpected side effects, behaviours, whatever which need to be tracked down in both cases.

But at least in the FPGA case you're directly simulating the behaviour of the discrete components such that their parallel, real-world interactions should tend toward accuracy. It should be similar to the step from HLE to LLE, where LLE is simpler, more accurate, and less hacky, but way less performant. LLE to FPGA would be a similar transition but without the performance penalty.

"private exchanges for cash" (that really would have to happen in person) will never, ever, replace the scale at which an online exchange that can deposit money straight to a bank account will.

The goal of a "crackdown" is never to eliminate something 100% (because as you noted, that is impossible).

With limited Android experience I can corroborate the screen rotation stupidity. The latest google wisdom is to use the Model View ViewModel pattern, which can help to work around this issue. If you are using a “view model” its a hack to largely avoid this screen rotation BS, but I don’t expect many Android apps are implemented this way. Keeping up with google is like chasing your own tail.

This has got me wondering whether an Nvidia owned Arm could limit SVE2 implementations so as not to compete with Nvidia's GPU. That would certainly be the case for Arm designed cores - not a desirable outcome.
Same reason Malcolm Gladwell is popular — it's pop science/economics/whatever, made to be readable and digestible, but over simplifies (and sometimes falsifies) in the process.
As an student, ta and undergraduate instructor the one thing that offended me outright was people being discouraged from engaging. 99% of instruction is communication, largely one direction and engagement is the only data to evaluate the effectiveness.

To me it reinforces the one correct reason to become a professor: you want to raise the standard of professionals / colleagues in the field by mass education. Your goal is to increase quality across the board, and the only way to be successful is to be a good and engaging communicator. There are networked benefits from creating success for your students.
I work adjacent to this space and LoRa is great (really great, the specs look impossible on paper) but everyone has been peddling proprietary cloud-based SaaS solutions that come and go every year, for about a decade now. For non-cloud/SaaS solutions, nothing seemed to be able to compete against the branding of wifi and bluetooth. I think this is the main reason it didn't take off. 802.11ah looked like it was going to finally become a good option, with wifi branding, but it somehow was never really released into the market.
Consider that the government doesn't need to attack cryptocurrencies at the source because they already have full control over their own citizenry. There are plenty of things the government could do to coerce citizen compliance. Yes, "illicit" activity will still happen but if the goal was to harshly crackdown on things like Bitcoin they will have succeeded.
I can't even imagine Uber inviting Kalanick back, and they are near the bottom of the pile in terms of reputation.

CONUNDRUM OF THE AGES
Actually, I think this is almost the perfect response to his article. It's not hard to imagine that a guy who made his fortune off of startups would be biased to think that everyone should create a startup and get rich that way. So, after correcting for rich guy tunnel vision, the statement "more people are starting companies" translates to "more people are starting technology companies in Silicon Valley." And of course, as you point out, the reality that the rest of the country is living in is conveniently ignored.

So yeah, rich guy writes a blog article saying essentially "people should just do what I did" and water is wet.
IIRC, she can already deny licensing for her music -- even though Big Machine owns the publishing, she still owns the songwriter rights. There are about 9,000 exceptions (music law is hard), though, so I'm not 100% sure.

But you're right that she can regain licensing rights AND screw Big Machine at the same time by re-recording. I'm sure that crossed her mind.
That's another HUGE issue: stolen accounts are a massive underground market and while your skins can't be stolen usually, the account can be hacked on and get banned. You can get stolen prime accounts for under $5 and high value accounts for very cheap.

Pomodoro also fits in well with dealing with ergonomic issues in desk work. Sitting too long can be bad for you. Some try to fix that with standing desks, but standing too long is also bad--you are just trading one set of problems for another.

Here's an article about that [1] from the Cornell ergonomics lab. Here's their recommentation:

> Sit to do computer work. Sit using a height-adjustable, downward titling keyboard tray for the best work posture, then every 20 minutes stand for 8 minutes AND MOVE for 2 minutes. The absolute time isn’t critical but about every 20-30 minutes take a posture break and stand and move for a couple of minutes. Simply standing is insufficient. Movement is important to get blood circulation through the muscles. And movement is FREE! Research shows that you don’t need to do vigorous exercise (e.g. jumping jacks) to get the benefits, just walking around is sufficient. So build in a pattern of creating greater movement variety in the workplace (e.g. walk to a printer, water fountain, stand for a meeting, take the stairs, walk around the floor, park a bit further away from the building each day)

If you use something like Pomodoro, then your breaks between intervals fall right into the recommended times to stand and move around.
