> Historically ocean was considered as a hassle. You have to deal with the salty air that breaks down many material quite swiftly.

Not only that, but you don't have to go very far from the ocean for the saltiness of the air to diminish, so there's not much sacrifice if you value being at the ocean.

There's also a social element to it. Historically, most of the people living by an ocean were those traditionally employed in traditionally ocean-related industries, like fishing, canning, and shipping.

These are traditionally associated with a grimier and more impoverished state of existence, because in most industrial cities, that's how oceanfronts were (or still are).

Applications could be exposing intents they assume will be used by trustworthy applications (i.e. apps in the Play Store). A user could download a Droidscript (which as I understand doesn't trigger the unknown sources policy) which then tries to use intents it shouldn't need without asking the user for permission.

If Droidscript required unknown sources to do anything (not just APK exports), then other apps could check the unknown sources policy on the device and disable certain intents (which they may do anyway at the moment, since that would mean that the applications installed may be untrustworthy). But this way there isn't any way to tell.
I view part of basic functionality of level five as "Can the car drive on all roads in at least some circumstances?"

That's still not sufficient, because it needs to do that in all circumstances (vehicles, people, animals, stuff, weather, etc), but even if it can handle all the circumstances (also basic functionality), if it can't at least all roads, then it's not level five.

Right now, it's level two, and it's IMO going to be level two for a while. People can ask about level five, but I take any statements about Tesla's current autopilot and/or beta as statements about the level two system.

People can assume that those statements are about some future level five system, but I don't think that's an accurate assumption unless someone from Tesla says autopilot and/or the beta is now level three, four, etc...
Really depends on the ISP; it's actually on the certification mandatory feature list for some network operators. (Comcast, AFAIK.) But yeah, no way to tell if the particular device and setup the author has supports it.

(But it should be a very early thing to try, if it's available everything else becomes much easier.)

You are utterly dumb, numb and emotionless. I guess you belong to the same class of people - who are chanting after each gun shooting - "guns don't kill people".

Air pollution is not killing 5000+ people everyday in India, but COVID is.

I have to say, I despise trying to decipher untyped functions. This arg is called "order" - do you want an instance of Order, an order ID, or a function for sorting?

Fine, I'll read the docstring. Instead of using the IDE.
Google is heavily pushing YouTube premium now, so they're trying to make the experience as crappy as possible for free users.

I don't watch nearly enough YouTube to justify $12 a month, but I'm starting to consider ad blockers. Or just stop watching Youtube altogether, which wouldn't be all that hard. There are only a couple of channels I check out from time to time, and one isn't monetized so the ads are fairly reasonable. The other however had ad breaks every 5 minutes, which is just killing it for me.
It would be nice if it only considered alphanumerics. Downside: punctuation can mean a lot in poetry. Upside: people might make punctuation less meaningful just to have more strings to try.
There once was a study where they eloquently demonstrated this by putting the same white actor into two situations: one had him lay down acting like he was dying from a hear attack in front of Wall Street wearing a suit. The other had him doing the same thing but wearing worn out sports clothing.

They found that people responded more favorably to the actor when he appeared to be of the same social class.

There might be naked singularities in case of a rapidly rotating black hole. The singularity would have a donut shape and might be outside of the event horizon.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_singularity

Of course, this is very theoretical and we don't actually expect that to exist.
> Yet it still turned out Google had been right all along.

No they weren't. It was not right to terminate the entire app because someone used an image wrong.
Not exactly.

A black hole doesn't have to be very dense. The larger it is, the less dense it needs to be to prevent light from escaping. The supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy may be less dense than water[1].

For black holes closer to a single solar mass, then yes, they will be super dense, and the degeneracy pressure helps keep it from becoming a black hole. You have to add enough mass to overcome the degeneracy pressure for it to develop the event horizon that makes it a black hole.

But not all black holes do that. Others can simply keep acquiring mass without that violent sudden event. They just gradually cross the point where no light can escape, but you might not even notice looking at it. The light just keeps gradually shifting redder and redder until the wavelength becomes infinite.

Indeed, Novid did have promise. Po's work should be celebrated.

The problem is that Novid depends on self-report. Self-report is not reliable, or else we'd have seen success around this kind of self-reported contact tracing, which does not model reality accurately at scale.

The problem is that a surveillance network is perfect for this kind of healthcare application, where the balance of power is toward the invisible surveiller and does not depend on the surveilled being compliant.

The problem they are talking about is that you can't checkout a new branch wothout first committing, stashing or undoing your work.

In other VCS tools, including gitless apparently, your uncommitted work is also branched (usually by virtue of different branches being chekced out in different directories on disk). You can also achieve this in Git by using different working trees.

He tells compelling stories with intoxicating ideas, but little that's actionable or testable. _Blink_ basically claimed that our intuitive and first decisions are made for real reasons, and often have merit of their own. No surprise, and it's certainly flattering to hear, but useless without suggestions on when to use a quick judgement versus when to take a more considered approach. Some of my instincts are good. Sometimes my first impression is right. Not exactly news, but as presented it implicitly validates snap judgement.
...there's some person who goes to work in the morning and does something that looks and feels almost exactly like what most of us here do all day...

For a moment, I thought you were talking about the police informants themselves.

Not that I'm fond of cybercriminals but it's somewhat ironic to see one sort of infiltration of an enterprise (say, informants at a drug dealing operation) threatened by another sort of infiltration of an enterprise (criminals spear fishing the police). Not all police informant program are problematic but plenty are imo and moreover, the need for police informants more or less comes from things like the drug war, which allow permanent criminal enterprises which need to be put permanently under siege.

> you don't really need to update

But you are updating. You're spending $360-600 a year on this.

RAM isn't that expensive, even if you do feel like you need to upgrade again in another 2-3 years. I can buy a completely brand new, good computer every 3 years for that price. And it will be able to handle running 100 tabs.

There are a lot of potential reasons why someone might benefit from a remote browser, but I don't think computer processing power is one of them. My phone can handle running over 100 tabs in Firefox.

I don't know, is this an adblock thing? I currently have ~950 tabs open on my 6-year-old desktop computer, and my computer isn't crashing. I think it's currently using 8-9 gigs of RAM. Maybe my system is particularly optimized, or maybe without an adblocker websites are way heavier and multitasking is a big problem? I do run uMatrix and uBlock Origin, so maybe my experience isn't typical. But the point is, for $30-60 a month I could buy another 16 gigs of RAM.
Actually, Google and Apple teamed up on a contact tracing concept. Even when it was first annouced, the fact that G was attached meant that I wasn't interested. Apple's involvement only lessened the distrust slightly to me, but not enough for me to want to bother with it.
They still seem to believe that what they did, increases the security of Linux. And comments still suggest the fix to make Linux less "open" to contributions.

It does not seem to me that they have thought much about what they are saying. For example, in a project like Linux, there is new code, but they majority of contributions, especially small fixes (as compared to new drivers and rewrites of subsystems), are very likely bug fixes. And many bugs can intruduce security issues, too, even if that might not be obvious. Therefore, it is not clear at all that making Linux more "closed" (which seems to be the solution which the UMN people and their friends suggest) would make it any more secure. More scrutiny by top maintainers means more time is needed; needing more time means automatically less fixes can be applied, since the maintainer's time is the bottleneck; applying less fixes means more open bugs, and having more open bugs can at least easily mean to have more security issues.

There are plenty of closed source projects with a security which is clearly worse than Linux. And not only that, but core Internet security infrastructure like DNS or OpenSSL is open source. The issue is rather that companies cannot be arsed to support that infrastructure they depend on. It would be interesting if the UMN people could come up with research or a hack which motivates them to change. (OTOH, one mayor windows worm per decade such as locky, wannacry, petya, tiny banker, cryptolocker, flame, and so on may be sufficient for the latter in the long run.)
This is actually very useful and tastefully done! Bookmarked!
Unfortunately it requires that we accept too intrusive restrictions to our daily lives.

Those restrictions are now being rolled back and removed state by state, which is a good thing.

From the reactions there have been so far, it seems that a lot of people still care about at least soccer.
> I was able to do in hours what would have taken days with any other method

See... I think that's just wrong. Here's how I'd do that (knowing nothing about flex but having written similar state machine generators for non-lexing problems):

+ augment the generated code to dump the sequence of state transitions and tokens to stderr or whatever
+ run it in both environments
+ diff the output
+ Go back and add some metadata like __FILE__/__LINE__ or whatever as needed to find the bad data or state
+ Repeat as needed

Now, is that as button-pushing-trivial as using a replay debugger? No, probably not. But it's not "days" of work either, it's like an hour to get a rig like that put together.
Unless the developer decides to share on Twitter or HN or w/e, and now malicious actors know as well.
Yes, that is absolutely the implication. These mistakes are so egregious they're almost instantly obvious to people who know to look. For instance, the Health app tracked seemingly everything under the sun, including blood-alcohol levels. The reaction from women when it shipped was instant: where's the period tracker?

If there was a woman on that team it says even less good things about Apple that they shipped without it.

But: Apple's diversity report from then [1] says they were 80% male in tech, so while the assumption might be serious, I don't think it's unreasonable.

That comment just wants me to fight aliens. What's wrong with me?
You will need to buy one now on speculation that Linux support will ever be finished. Apple will quit making the m1 long before work is finished. The battery may not even be good by that time. Just today, news of m2 going to production is on hn front page.

> It's not apparent how browser reliant we are till we actually move from one system to another.

I still don't get it. Why do you need a browser to run in the cloud? Your old laptop had chrome installed. Your new laptop will have chrome installed. If all your files are "in the cloud" then literally the only thing you need to move is your chrome profile. If it's just about your bookmarks and logins, you can sync those already.
The 6 byte string "dammit" works. Though I suppose it's not a poem.
I think it is an interesting idea, but I fear that unless we find a way to bring down the broken, disabled, etc. satellites we have, this will lead to accelerating the possibility of a Kessler Syndrome phenomena.
You can agree or disagree with the Election Fraud narrative. I think that it is beside the point here. The point is we have the State actively censoring its citizens and when that doesn't work using its officers and the FBI in attempt to intimidate them.

“These documents blow up the big lie that Big Tech censorship is ‘private’ – as the documents show collusion between a whole group of government officials in multiple states to suppress speech about election controversies.”

One of the firms SKDK lists Biden as their largest client. So you have the state of CA, the Biden Campaign and Big Tech colluding on an issue.
This doesn't take into account things like accent, which does count. Many people native to the Boston area looking to get high-paying jobs (esp. in tech) work on breaking their Boston accents to sound higher class.

That's no good because the car can malfunction for reasons other than damage caused by the ECU, and the warranty covers those reasons too. You shouldn't have to lose your warranty on part A because you modified unrelated part B.

Well that's the only interesting part of this, everything else seems like elaborate fantasy without any proof of that core fact. I can come up with a billion 'interesting bets' based on some unsubstantiated thing happening.

"The opportunity for competition exists" is the most true statement and response to everyone grumbling about Apple dominance. Somewhere, somehow, the ecosystem of competitors has failed to execute, got lazy, etc and now is looking to regulators to bail them out. It makes me a bit sick. Apple is nothing more than a computing stack wrapped in a portfolio of consumer products. They happen to see this future early, invested aggressively in it, from silicon to security and everyone got caught with their pants down.
I think you kinda hit it on the nose. Who knows where or how or who has access to these machines. IDC if it's encrypted in transit or what, but there is no way a corporation with strict data privacy rules would be able to stream potentially sensitive information across the wire especially when it will be stored in the cloud in web form for a period of time. IDK good luck, but I'm definitely tin-foil hatting with this guy above me.
I don't think that's quite true, at least not of a gen_X cast.

If you use erlang:send/3 with options or erlang:send_nosuspend/2, you can have some cases where messages would be dropped without trying. I think that may be the source of the drop under load you're thinking of?

Without nosuspend, if you send to a node that's connected, dist will queue it to be sent, but there's no guarantee it's received because networking, and it may not even be sent if the other side has gone away and the send queue is already too large; There is a hard to express constraint that if your message doesn't get received in this case, dist will disconnect eventually, but it's important to note that the tick time-out doesn't guarantee timely delivery either; as long as some data is flowing, you can get quite a backlog; I think I've gotten net_adm:ping times above 30 minutes in some cases. Also, if the dist connection is dropped, but both nodes are online, it will likely reconnect shortly, and some messages will have been lost.

If you send to a node that's not connected, and didn't specify no_connect, dist will queue the message while attempting to connect, but if that attempt fails, the messages will be dropped.

It's also possible for code running as a gen_server (or GenServer, I suppose) to check how many messages are queued for it, and run different logic. I've written gen_servers that would drop optional requests if the queue was large. Also, if client timeouts are known, there are ways to approximate the time spent waiting in queue, and drop requests if they are received after the client already timed out; it's a little tricky to do this though.
> I stated ebay because it was where I bought the game originally.

There's nothing wrong with quoting ebay, I use it all the time myself. Just don't pay any attention items listed with a Buy It Now price because they're often full of chancers. Just because it's listed at a price it doesn't mean anyone will pay it.

What you did is a common trap that new reporters do when they talk about how expensive collecting is. They run headlines like "your old junk could be a gold mine" but pad their articles out with hugely speculative Buy It Now prices that no sane person would actually pay.
