I really enjoyed this beautiful, informative and entertaining intro video to the IndieWeb: https://briefs.video/videos/why-the-indieweb/
Give great advice : be succint

Half kidding, the post is by @patio11 btw.
Cheers for the feedback!
The usual argument is that compatibilists are moving the goal posts, but I simply don't understand that argument.

It is moving the goal post because it just changes the definition of free will into some triviality. I had a choice between apples and oranges and I picked the apple because I like apples more. Sure, you can call this free will if you want to but what is the point? The max function had a choice between 1 and 2 and picked 2 because it likes bigger numbers more.

Maybe you want to contrast the above situation with a situation where the apples are sold out or someone forces you at gunpoint to pick the orange. But this is now an entirely different thing, now we are talking about external constraints. And you can move into all kinds of directions and define free will to be this or that but the result will always be kind of trivial.
just add them 'after flow' and replace /^$/ -> </p><p>
?
What I don’t understand is if we omit e.g. the og:title meta tag, why can’t scrapers fall back to <title>? Or if there is no <meta name="og:description"> why not fall back to <meta name="description">?

Most of the pages I make are unique and supplying these values twice is simply redundant. My only conclusion is that scrapers are stupid and developers are too laze to fix it (which ironically casts the work on other developers as we now need to supply these redundant values).

That'll need a reference. It's only a few weeks since a worker was infected in a one-person workshop[1], from the guy working there two days earlier. Testing showed that it was the exact same (rare) virus strain and the only explanation was that the second guy got infected from using the same tools as the first guy (not infected _through_ the hands of course, but presumably by touching his face afterwards. As one does).

(Keeping surfaces clean is the most important part, otherwise you'll have to clean your hands every time you touch something. As for myself I've become very self-conscious about what I touch.)

The point of disagreement here probably boils down to the perceived significance of what you're calling "free will" in your final sentence (as opposed to "magical supernatural free will").

On my view it is literally nothing. It's the tautological observation that agents with desires, uninhibited, can and will seek to satisfy those desires. It gives us no grounds for responsibility, punishment, etc etc. (Those are all good things, but their justification has to come from elsewhere.)

But by continuing to call it "free will," you're invoking the intuitions that many people have regarding the magical bullshit variety, and laundering those intuitions/feelings into the new discussion.
> I wish that NAT wasn't a thing, then every computer could be a known entity on a web without technical setup.

IPV6 would solve this problem easily, if there weren't so many businesses linked to the IPV4 scarcity.
All actions are in the chain of events of prior actions. Humans knowing what future actions might look like, decide to counteract believed future actions. It is basic to sentient life. Such actions may break the illusion of karma, by employing dharma, which is divine, from a higher frame of reference.

The absolutists are going to explode.
However, is properly exactly the same as deterministically?

Injecting non-determinism makes the question of free will rather funny, in that the standard argument "you would not choose differently" does not work as the act of traveling back in time injects further nondeterministic results...

Under non-determinism, free will would be something like changing location of probability wells for actions. Our brains do that structurally and chemically all the time, and not particularly deterministically either. (Chemistry is involved.)

On the other hand, posing free will as decision theoretic choice, you're facing an outcome of statistical masses of decisions a lot of which are not observable. Philosophically simplifying it to binary choice ends up with absurd results.

I found that playing Rock, Paper, Scissors against an AI opponent demonstrated at least to me that I was not even able to make what I thought were random choices. The only way I could hold the AI to a draw was by using an external source of random numbers.
Yes, there is a huge market for used batteries. Trick is to ensure they get put up for sale, because I'm sure the manufacturers are fearful a second hand market will devalue their product. ie. they will offer trade ins and free disposal rather than risk the battery equivalent of retread tires ending up on the market.
Slap AI on sufficiently many things, and sure, the world is running on AI!

For one, I think it's silly to apply that moniker to something that's not at least interactive.

Machine Learning / Data Mining pipelines that I've touched were running nightly, and furthermore, the systems they powered could continue functioning even if the pipelines crashed / weren't running.

Because with ML, both the input and output are data (information, at best). ML doesn't interact with commands.

The whole point if "A" in AI is that it's contrasted with Human Intelligence. Nightly batch processes simply ain't it.

Sure, people will still slap that label on anything, but it's boring to do so in the context of this discussion :)
For comparison, this would achieve the same thing now and is much shorter and more memorable:

<!doctype html>
<title></title>
<h1></h1>

(My recollection is that the HTML 4.01 Strict DTD doesn’t trigger quirks mode; if that’s correct, then it should be precisely the same, except for whitespace variation and the actual doctype node. Also neither is valid, because the title element can’t be empty.)
"Russian hackers breached Washington DC police department's database and have threatened to share information with criminal gangs unless it pays an unspecified ransom.

"A Russian-speaking ransomware syndicate has claimed to have stolen sensitive data, including on informants, the police force said."

If data pertaining to informants has indeed been stolen then this is extremely concerning.
How to Validate the Idea
Well, I don't think this article does a good job at explaining the scandal. It seems to me the author had a thesis and is mostly occupied with explaining that. What makes wirecard interesting are all these connections with politicians, oligarchs, secret services etc. Some day in the not so distant future, somebody will make a tv series out of this.
Any network engineer will tell you that NAT is an illusion of security.

It's the job of a firewall to prevent routing to private networks.

The issue with IPv4 is that there is a limited amount of addresses so we've had to make do.

With IPv6, every device in the world can have millions of IP addresses which are globally routeable.

However we're only at about 33% of traffic being IPv6 capable. [0]

On the mobile phone side, it's a choice by network providers to prevent routing. More of a security thing than anything else.
There is a product class called Mobile Private Network, which offers private networks over mobile to businesses.

My personal hot take for the low uptake of IPv6 is that there's a lot of people in the industry that have the attitude of "I don't need it so nobody else does which informs management"

You can see it when people bring up the low upload speeds and someone says "5mbps is all you need for video conferencing". Ignoring how it's painful to upload videos or other binary data for collaboration.

> That is why you can mindlessly give one to wait staff at a restaurant who will disappear with it for an extended amount of time, while in any other country that would be unimaginable

What are you talking about? You do realize that credit cards exist everywhere at this point? You think that when someone pays by card in other parts of the world they maintain constant eye contact with their card, lest the person... skim the largely visible number?
Your phone is more likely to have IPv6, so it definitely could serve your content if you were in control of it. Most people aren't in control of their phones though, since they run Android or iOS, which don't allow people to setup web servers.
Can you elaborate? I'm pretty convinced that's Musk's true motivation. He put his personal fortunes at stake based on this conviction, nearly losing it all.

Seems crazy for someone to do that unless it's truly their greatest passion.
I think self consciousness is the sticking point for a mechanical or probabilistic universe. It exists. It eludes quantifiable definition. It makes no sense in a mechanism. It is central to free will.
Lambda also actively argues that traditional four-year colleges are outdated and unnecessary.

The worst thing that could ever happen isn’t that college is too expensive. The worst thing would be a company like Lambda convincing people their awful indentured servitude was somehow better.

A broad open learning approach that comes from a liberal education is how young men and a women find their passions, lifelong friendships, and themselves.
the friction is the need to identify the recipient of the money. it's not so much that i want to send money as a chat message, but that i want to send money to that chat user that i am already talking to. with any third party service i have to verify that i actually send to the right person, whereas in the chat i already know that this is the right person.
The article seems a bit weak on the origins of the wirecard scandal (and rambles more about the countries psychology)
Might I note that you are also lacking an SSL certificate, which marks your site as 'not secure' and can trigger various anti-phishing protections in browsers and firewalls.

I am not sure what you mean by 'convert wordpress', but if you are looking for a no-code solution for throwing up a static site to Cloudflare (with SSL), I happen to make a website builder that does just that. I like to think it's much easier to use than Wordpress.

I won't advertise it here, but have a look in my profile if you're interested. Ping me for a discount :)
Try buying a 7-series BMW around 2006 and say the same 5 years later.
I think even in the European market it may be a factor. It's not uncommon to drive somewhere on summer holidays, I'm in the UK and sometimes drive across France or down to Spain for summer hols - or skiing holidays. It's stupid that this is a consideration when buying a car, I know. But it certainly has a chilling effect when I think about our over-night drives to get to the Alps for a Saturday morning.
DO NOT DO THIS. DO NOT DO THIS.

DKA is dangerous and a medical emergency. If you have symptoms of DKA, you should seek medical assistance immediately, especially if you haven't already been diagnosed with diabetes and thus likely have no way to monitor your health state.
Nobody ever commented on the Polkadot chain here on Hacker News
Most smart TV platforms that aren't Android TV or Tizen explicitly are HTML5 based, in that their UI is HTML5 based. But smart TV platforms are never write once run anywhere - remote control button patterns, OS weirdness and shoestring amounts of RAM mean you've got to do whole suites of testing and bespoke code for at best every manufacturer, and in practice every set.

LG is the only one that could be said to have sufficient marketshare to justify that investment for any but the largest VOD providers now. The revenue generated from those platforms once rights holders are paid is a fraction of what it costs to maintain them simply through testing overhead. Android TV and Tizen's marketshare has increased rapidly over the last few (read three-ish) years, and when you often need to account for international rollout or repurposing in your cost analysis it's even stronger (Roku has zero marketshare outside of the US, many large cable companies outside of the US have Android TV based set-top boxes with multiple million installations).

This generally also applies to browser based streaming, with the added bonus that is where a bunch of piracy comes from.
Why is it always Austrians?
I have to say: This is a beautiful eulogy.

We should all strive in life to get a eulogy this beautiful when we die.
Then websites just cannot use that feature. Zoom is necessary for accessibility, period. Being able to implement games as websites isn't. If you want to control the UI, write an app.
These days, when I get into a new technology, my first step is to read what people on HN said about it.

To my surprise, nobody ever said anything about Polkadot. Even though it is one of the top Blockchains with over $30B in market cap.

Is there a reason for this?
In this case, I was referring specifically to the policy mentioned in the article.

But it’s a valid question more broadly as well, and some of the other answers have been dismissive.

In general it is unwanted by people who prefer to be treated (and to treat others) as individuals rather than group members. People who want to interact with others based on individual qualities and merits, irrespective of group associations (especially immutable characteristics like height, skin colour, hair colour, etc).

I believe this (for now) still represents the majority of people in the US, and probably in some other countries as well.
This is why the body-mind is said to be the vehicle of the soul. These are all very ancient ideas, determinism especially.

As you suspect, people discussing this misses out on how it's all relative, not so absolute.
> Silicon Valley was not funded by smart engineers thinking in their garages. It was funded by massive military grants. The garages came later.

Well, not exactly:

- Stanford U. was the US West Coast US military communications lab

- but Shockley (1956) and HP Labs (1966) started in a storefront/lot and garage respectively. The military was just one customer, and both recruited researchers from Bell Labs.

> I take a socially relatively cohesive country ... over world leadership any time.

US hegemony allows the rest of the countries in its sphere to live in peace, while only paying half or less of their fair share in defense spending. You're welcome.

Another post that supports my suggestion to ban European IP addresses from HN - just pointless drivel from the Old World. You know exactly what Russia what do to your German family and friends without "US dominance."

In Norway, where 54% on new cars sold in 2020 were electric, Volkswagen group sold more than twice as many electric cars (mostly Audi e-Tron and VW id.3) as Tesla.
Hard to tell (probably both), but it's worth noting for most of these OSes (at least Roku or Android TV) the playback is generally being handed to the hardware native decoder rather than having anything to do with the OS.

Indeed, one of the nice things about Android TV is that from a content protection point of view you don't really need to trust the OS at all as it's all abstracted down to the hardware.
The question was which the most important prediction he got wrong was.
Yes. I've made claims with 2 card providers in two different banks in the UK (one was a transaction for a macbook pro in India, the other was a merchant who refused to cancel a recurring payment despite me making multiple attempts to resolve with them). Both cases required a verbal confirmation, and a letter to claim it was fraud and a refund within 5 working days.
Have some friends at Zoox and can't say I'm confident in them. Retention appears to be a massive problem, entire teams up and quitting.
There are large city areas with no off-street parking.

But they haven’t actually silenced anyone. They’ve said employees are free to even congregate in personal groups with other employees to discuss politics. Just not on company Basecamp.
I've been using this embedded PostgreSQL thing for tests:

https://github.com/opentable/otj-pg-embedded

It's very simple to use and works perfectly. The one problem, and it's a significant one, is that it only ships one version of PostgreSQL, and adding another was difficult enough that I didn't.
There is no problem if this is just one person or one business. There's no issue with allowing people some time to find the next renter.

The problem is that when everybody leverages to the hilt and the whole area collapses, the rent prices stay high even when there's no one renting--which is bad for renters. And this continues in a gigantic game of chicken until some of the owners finally run out of cash and go bankrupt and everything collapses simultaneously which also isn't good for the end renter.

It's like the 2008 Wall Street crash. Lots of people knew what was going on. However, everybody knew that they were equally screwed whether they were responsible or not. So, they just rode the train and hoped they could cash out to the next sucker before the disaster.

And then we get the joy of everybody wailing that they need a bailout.
Except I wouldn't say the same thing 5 years after a 2006 car...?
MSE 050: The Unique Musical Instrument Series – Meet the Zither
It’s a way of conveniently achieving compatibility with old and new browsers.

JavaScript is executed differently when it’s a “module script” to when it’s a “classic script” (using the HTML spec terms), so you want a way of preventing old browsers from executing it (whether they’re syntactically compatible or not). Hence type="module", because old browsers won’t execute scripts with the type attribute containing an unknown value.

Once you have that, you commonly want to bifurcate on modules support, so you want a way of saying “don’t execute this if you support modules”. This can be done with feature-detection code, to the effect of “does it support modules? if yes, do nothing; if no, load the code, probably by adding another script tag with the correct src to the document”, but this is inconvenient and causes at least mild inconvenience with security measures like Content-Security-Policy. So the solution was to put another attribute there that new browsers could use as the inverse of type="module": nomodule.

Perhaps it’s a big ol’ sigh, but as is very commonly the case with such sighs, they make a good deal of sense when you understand the reasons and history involved.
It's using media queries now, so you can use the browser's default printing function instead of having to find a bespoke button for that functionality.
Failing != Failure.

Failure implies you stopped trying. Failing is the first step to being kinda good at something.

The real failure is settling for a job you don't like. It can be mediocre in your opinion, something you "settled" for, but you must at least have some sort of attraction to it.

Also, success comes in many forms, not just professionally or financially.
From experience, this is not a good thought trajectory. Your life is your making.

Err... yes. That's exactly how they work in the UK - and most other countries I've visited.

The waiter comes to your table, presents you with the EPOS or tablet. You take it and either tap your card, or insert it and type your PIN. Then you hand the terminal back to the waiter.

The card never leaves your hand.
You want to make me cringe? remind me that I got into an email conversation on my theory on this topic with an internet stranger and it turned out that person's name was daniel dennett, who I would assume assumed that I knew who he was and that I was an internet fan boy.

I'm not a philosopher, I didn't even know who daniel dennet was, so while certain that my view was covered somewhere long before I was born, I wouldn't know which century, but would guess all of them.

I am the deterministic set of operations and coefficients that calculates my choice. My will is not caged by a deterministic universe, the deterministic universe is the the constraint ensures my choice is the true reflection of who I am, the true has of the private key of my character. A quantum magic spinny wheel doesn't liberate me, it would undermine the integrity of my choice.
I agree that there are more salacious details that the author didn't really touch on (particularly concerning Marsalek), but I think the author's embedding of the scandal in the political and economic fabric of post-war Germany was quite well done.

(Oh, and I do hope there'll be a TV series!)
This whole thing where you have to sacrifice everything to big corps and buy new devices every year makes me not want to bother consuming any media at all to be honest. When I see people wrestle with all kinds of devices, services, and subscriptions I just get sad and start thinking if the juice is actually worth the squeeze and coming to the conclusion it really isn't.
So many wishful thinking. I bet there will be no changes after election. Why should it be? Germany will continue slowly declining with whole Europe. This pandemic management was/is real shitshow.

The universities are other funny thing. They have no future with heavily underpaid staff and work contracts for 6-12 month working contracts. Max Planck and Fraunhofer are sweatshops for industrial partners. They do the tasks for industry at 40% costs, again 1 year contracts and sad salary.

I don’t want to start about general technical level in Germany. I want to cry when I think about coming relocation and registering whole family in another city. Plus car. Plus another school. It’s all filing tens of pages and using snail mail or showing up in person. Or using fax machine as a modern solution.
If someone dies in you family you can still write a printf statement. Without a keyboard you can't. Bad analogy.
Not true.

a) the Volt keeps about 10% battery charge unavailable for driving. To help maintain the battery and also for the purpose you mention.

b) the Volt keeps track of when you last ran the ICE, and runs it every few months on a "maintenance cycle" to keep the fuel and fuel system from going stale
cool. can you make a catalog page?
Thanks for this, is it backwards compatible with previous versions of iOS? Or is there some combination of incantations that does graceful degradation?
Unable to change my own mind.
How cool would it be if the iPhone got a pro variant running the M1 chip, someone unlocked the bootloader and installed Linux on it.

Plug it into a thunderbolt dock and you have a full Linux desktop.
