Incidentally, the organization which keeps a central record of personal and commercial drivers' licenses in the United States (AAMVA, American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators) is nominally non-governmental, although it works closely with state and federal jurisdictions as well as with 3rd parties. And it gets by fine with a conventional DB, although they have shown some interest in blockchain tech IIRC
Had something similar happen to me but it was WPF instead of WinForms. Told them to never contact me again.
Safari on macOS supports executing custom JS on web pages since forever, regardless of what version of API is used.

It’s not supported on iOS, though.
While I largely agree with your argument, I'm curious if you have a solution in mind that could work in the Indian context.
ExxonMobil blames climate change on the public by using 'misleading' language
I really want the IRC protocol to decouple its sessions from the TCP connection and move to using HTTP as a transport, even if the only api verb is "send" and the only response is "receive output buffer".

I used to really love IRC, and think it could undergo a resurgence given the right upgrades.
But Google is going to use my data for advertising, with or without premium. An adblocker gives me the luxury of not seeing ads while keeping my data private.
As someone actually working in operations, and keeping our current suite of software/apps/etc compatable with these upgrades, I say - Microsoft, your documentation is very poor and lacking, and I have to invent fixes to your lack of effort... probably by design.

It is annoying when we can quickly proof up software, and specialized utilities when consulting with business. It is wayyyy to much work to port from IE to Edge though.. yeesh, waste of my productive time.
One of the reasons I justify spending money on Premium is that it supports the creators. I get a bunch of people who think it's silly I pay for Premium, but I really hate watching ads so for me that alone makes it worthwhile.

One channel I really like I have the youtube membership and pateron subscriptions. It's a UK true crime podcast that does every recording with professional camera and audio in a recording studio. Seems like it's expensive to do and I get a lot of entertainment out of them so seems fair to help them out a bit more, especially since most of their videos probably get demonetized.

>Learning how to connect with them was a skill it took a lot of time and effort to hone

This was my main issue with the article. The author seemed so hyper-focused on the differences she saw day-to-day that she seemed unable to overcome them to find common ground to connect.

>You can’t be authentic AND make everyone happy. Literally impossible. If someone is alienated by someone talking about who they are

This isn't really what I was getting at though. To me, the issue isn't whether or not we can talk about or be our authentic selves, but more about creating a monolithic culture that has in-groups and out-groups. You can have a culture that is homogenous but still accepts those from the outside as equals. In that context, I don't think your assertions hold; you don't have to have the same interests to connect with people. For example, you can connect by being legitimately curious about differing interests as long as it's a culture that is open to different interests without using them as a defining characteristic. From the author's perspective, it seems like she still felt like an outsider. How much of that was in her own head stemming from insecurities about being poor, I don't know.
I understand I pirate software. You shouldn't have to justify why you are not paying them anything. You clearly want it for free.

I would rather pay them nothing and complain how much someone else is takin as well.
Show HN: S² is a function for reactive web UI
I think about that often. I know many people that are pretty much losing at life that have voluminous collections of junk. Anime figurines, comics, video games, movies, etc. It’s a sad pathology.
> So regarding the article and your example, indoor climbing may be commonplace in your peer-group while still being non-normative in someone like the author's peer-group.

It was normative in that one team and is not normative in other groups I am member of. You seem to assume I am perfect social fit in all teams and groups I am member off.

That is just not the case. Climbing made me normative in that place. We talked about it a lot, note past tense. And in other places they talked about stuff that profoundly is not interesting or available ro me.

It is super odd to me that you assume that normal state is to be perfect fit for working group you are in.
Out of curiosity, why did HN bury that last one, with 555 points and 262 comments, eight pages down within twelve hours? Freenode and irc are of considerable interest to the hacker community.

> People always say that, but only one of the full-time jobs I've had in my thirty-year career has come from networking.

Does that not just imply that your network wasn't that good but not necessarily that the adage "who you know more is more important than what you know" is actually false?
> I used to like stoic writings until I realized that they rarely applied those principles to own life.

I may be mistaken, but I think Aurelius complained about this too in meditations.
I'm not talking about literal royalties. If I have an item that I buy new (or used) and it's not a depreciating asset, and I sell it, then I owe income tax or capital gains, don't I? And then when the new owner sells it a few months or years later as is common in the case of collectibles, they have to pay income tax or gains on their sale as well, and this continues for the entire life span of the object.
Billing by usage is a method by which shared resources are allocated. It isn't the only way, and it assumes that the economic value an individual derives from use of a shared resource is proportional to, or at the very least correlated with, the benefit that society gains from allocating the resource to that individual. For cryptocurrency validators (I refuse to use the term "mining" as it is entirely inaccurate), the benefit to the individual validator is anticorrelated with the benefit to society.
Eating food out of bowls I made 10 years ago makes me really happy.

It was also extremely satisfying over a few years of off and on spinning to gain the vocabulary to describe why my work was bad. Making 1-2 beautiful (but still flawed) dishes was worth hundreds of mediocre projects.
Eh, it's more like the grocery store is firing apples off into public airspace, wrapped in invoices. Many people pay the invoiced amount but some don't.
I use arch on all my machines and there are really a lot of ways it has broken.

- Arch will release a new version of Xorg before the graphics card vendors release new drivers that are compatible with it. Same for kernel versions too.

- I've had gedit start crashing in new minor versions of gnome due to a setting being incompatible, needing to track that down and unset

- If you have python virtualenvs for development and system python is upgraded to a new major version, all your virtualenvs break

- If arch upgrades the major version of glibc during some random package install (rather than a system upgrade), and you don't upgrade the whole system at once, every app that didn't get upgraded will fail to start due to soname mismatches... and that can mean that pacman, sudo, etc are all busted (this has actually happened to me)

- If you do a full system upgrade and have AUR stuff installed, you need to be sure to upgrade the AUR stuff otherwise it could break due to being incompatible with any library that was upgraded.

- In general (not specific to arch linux), new versions of software break stuff all the time. You tend to hit way more of this on arch if you keep your system up to date.

> Web applications developer KNOW THE CONTEXT OF THEIR USE CASE

I'll believe this when web sites stop disabling paste
There's some misconceptions being put forth in the article which I, as a developer of a Safari ad blocker, would like to address.

Content blockers are limited by design to ensure privacy and speed, but they may work together with other kinds of Safari extension. So, when AdGuard guys say that the only debugging tool you can use is Console, know that this isn’t true. There’s SFSafariExtensionHandler API which you can use with blockers as another extension with higher privileges to track who blocked what. Very handy in debugging (and informative for the user).

Should I say that converting something like EasyList to Safari content blocker json is trivial? It is. Granted, ABP has more capabilities in its extended syntax, so you won’t be able to convert everything. There's also some rules that don’t match 1 to 1, but it isn’t something that can’t be solved.

Compiling speed, for the process that happens once the blocker rules json is changed, is irrelevant for the users, unlike battery life. Thanks to the compilation, content blockers have less overhead.

The number of rules limit is a non-issue. As explained in the original, EasyList has lot of mergeable rules. I may add that it has some overlapping rules too. And if for whatever reason you hit 50k limit, you can add another content blocker extension to your app.

And the most important thing. It seems that AdGuard guys don’t get why content blockers in Safari don’t run scripts. It’s privacy. But Safari itself doesn’t prevent you from doing that, only not as a part of content blocker extension that is privacy-safe.

Speaking of YouTube ads, yeah, it’s a pain point. By blocking resources you can get to the point where an ad will be a white screen or a video loading delay. To get around those you have to get beyond what content blockers are offering. I’m thinking about adding that capability into my blocker, but it isn’t a priority.
Do we expect legacy TLS versions to remain supported under Edge’s compatibility mode? I note MS deferred the end-of-support in IE11 for TLS 1.0/1.1 last year and haven’t announced a new end date.
I think it will. Just tested the IE mode, you need to manually enable it for every time. I think it's annoying enough.
UI being Windows 95-like sounds like a compliment to me.
Bandcamp starts at 15% and goes down to 10% after you cross $5,000 per year in digital sales. Payment processing fees are separate and an additional 4-6% according to Bandcamp. So fees start at 19%-21% and go down to 14%-16% once you exceed $5,000 in sales per 12 month period.
theres a dimension where an NFT "appreciates" in value and sold at a premium or offset than what was it was originally acquired at.

theres also the uncaptured exchanging of hands between bidders overpaying to build an asset bubble.

I think its better researched replacing NFT with "Fine Art" and seeing how money laundering in the art world happens [1]

There is now enough vacant office space in San Francisco to give every homeless person in the city 2000 square feet.

(From the article: 16 Million square feet of vacant office space, and a quick Google search gave me a homeless population of 8000)
We have a similar background. I do tiny projects on the side and I did ice cream for retail and wholesale. Pretty cool to find like minded individuals.
When can I install and run a matrix client without it connecting to you? I want to use your software but want to self-host it and not use any services whatsoever from your organization.
While I do agree that I deprive Google of some revenue, not watching ads is not stealing. Otherwise, whole US would be in jail for going to the toilet during Friends commercials. :) Ad blockers simply automate that process for me.

I love supporting creators via Patreon. I hate feeding a giant that will any day turn against both creaters and viewers.

Not sure if I'm rationalising or defending creators.
Why would I sell it? Can you name a better place to store my money?
> Picking fruit is a valid occupation

Not really, it's a seasonal job (at least in Germany, but are there climates where plants bear fruit year round?) that doesn't pay enough through the season to sustain you through the entire year.
relegated to old grayhair horror stories.

The real shame of IE's passing is that we'll forget the lessons we learned and therefore repeat that particular disaster. It's already happening. I'd be happy to relegate the nightmare of IE to old war stories... except the same thing is happening today! Different method, nearly the same end result.

We nearly lost the damn open web to the horror of IE6 and the peak "embrace, extend, extinguish" version of Microsoft.

Now, of course, we're happily creating another browser monoculture and handing the web over to Google. This time, we're doing it with a smile instead of a grimace.

Unlike IE6's reign of incompetent terror, Chrome is actually a competent browser. Techies are embracing the takeover instead of fighting it. It's guaranteed to succeed.
One problem with that calculator is that it "rings up" the depreciation after 5 years, in effect assuming you'd sell the car at that point. Much of the savings here are driven by keeping the functional car for 10+ years, not having to carry collision insurance on a car that's too expensive to write off, paying less in transaction costs and taxes, etc.

It's not the calculator is "wrong" in answering the question it asks, but that it's asking the wrong thing. Very few people want to buy an 11 year old car, so buying a 6 year old car and selling it 5 years later and doing the same thing again is overly penalized vs buying a 6-year old and selling it 10-15 years later (for much less), but only doing that once instead of two or three times.

> Why not compare it to a car you scrounged for free?

Because I can't repeatably find a reliable car for free. I can repeatably find many reliable cars for $8K in any city in the US. We paid $7500 for our 2005 CR-V in 2011. It was in overall great condition with high miles (165K-ish). It now has 220K miles on it and rust will kill it long before miles do (New England road salt).

Edit to add: I agree that my method above was double-counting depreciation. I should have stuck to cash items rather than including a non-cash item.

I use Bitcoin as payment for products and services all the time. I dont talk about it though, why would I? It is boring. I dont talk about how I use paypal or bank accounts to pay for stuff either.

There are certain segments eg. travel where bitcoin/crypto has worked well for years.

When I talk with friends about BTC, it is about price because that is the interesting part. The fact that I used it to pay for something is just not interesting.
I can't see why this is overkill. You're eliminating a step from the image posting process, and making it so users don't have to crop an image twice (once for the full image, and a second time for the preview). That makes sense when you're writing a CMS or blogging platform like Wordpress, but for Twitter it adds some friction.

So, previously, the preview was just cropped in the center. But this made some images look funny, since people's faces would get chopped off.

Coming up with a workable solution to this with ML is not especially hard. You can get things like face detection off the shelf, maybe just tell your autocropper, "crop closer to the face" and have a demo within a couple days (and then much more effort to productionize it). From there, you can start introducing ML models to improve on your basic face detection. (I'm not counting face detection as ML.)

This is not a case where some massive ML model is being brought in to save two seconds of your time. This is a very natural and obvious application of ML, at a company which already does ML at scale, in a way that sounds like it has a good chance at improving the appearance of the site without introducing additional friction.

Instragram gets around this by encouraging everyone to take square photos.
NFTs were originally called deeds. They were designed for this exact use case.
I’m over forty and quite frankly, I’m tired of this ageist crap. This entire premise is complete fucking bullshit. Do yourself and everyone over 40 you come into contact with a favour and pretend you never believed anything so toxic.
Yes, I should have to read out and type my 30 character password from my password manager when sites use `autocomplete=off` and disable pasting on the confirm password field (at least for when I accidentally leave clipboard events on).

"San Francisco’s office vacancy rate has risen to 19.7 percent"

Wow -- when I was there in the "dot-com boom" of the late '90s and early '00s, such a vacancy rate was unheard of (it was 0.5% for housing, and similar for commercial real estate).

Oh well, they've earned this outcome.
Good? Always seemed problematic so much tech was all tied up in SF and the Bay Area.
> seems like saving face matters more

This is sadly always the case. For everything. We'd rather let people die (e.g. Challenger) than admit any fault or delay to fix a problem.
I think this could be useful. Or maybe something like suppress the first half hour of comments and then show them all at once but in reverse chronological order.
>I don't know how you can make such a statement with a single digit rank.

I don't quite follow why having a single digit rank should stop me from having an opinion on the subject.

I come from a middle class family from the poorest part of the country. I have a lower caste background (OBC), and my father was the first in my family to receive a university education. For innumerous Biharis, JEE and other competitive examinations have been the road to salvation.

I know someone who literally learnt swimming by hanging on to the tail of buffalos and went to a CS program of a top IIT.

>How many lower middle class and poor folks can send their kids to kota to study for JEE?

A lot more than you think. Kota is probably at least 30% students from UP and Bihar, the most backward states of the country.

>but let's not romanticize it as something that can cross boundaries of caste and class

It crosses boundaries of caste and class by a, being objective and b, not testing based on criteria (such as extra-curricular activities, knowledge of English) that only the upper urban class have access to.

>If so, we can also claim that capitalism doesn't care about your caste and class either!

I don't quite follow the analogy, but capitalism cares much less about caste than the feudal systems that it replaces.

>The harrassment faced by students of lower caste who get in through affirmative action is also well known.

It is also more exaggerated than real. A few bad cases should not be taken to represent the system in its entirety.
It isnt tricker at all. Very simple math.
I think the main issue it's that they would need to be made in sufficient quantity to show up in the Spectra of the novas and collision. The heavier they are the fewer will be made, making detection harder and harder. You'd also need to calculate all the lines for a given element at the various energy levels to determine if a set of lines match, and that gets nontrivial pretty quickly
Did you read the first comment in the thread? It pointed to a draft announcement that was not intended for public release.
In the language of product design and experience, yes you can apply to all abilities. More specifically, all abilities required by your product.
It's not a moot point if we can create regulation or government takeover of said infrastructure. Conversations like this are the first step towards creating those kinds of regulations. It's only moot if you make it moot. When a private business completely controls a public utility and fails to act in the public's interest it is time to have this conversation because they have their hands all over something that should be in the hands of the public.
This short story is so easy to visualize as some short cartoon. Great story, thanks for sharing.
Another thing browsers should not allow the page to override.
No one can anticipate every possible risk. That's why rules change over time. They should give advance warning, let people out of long-term contracts, or refund prorated monthly bills if they're changing the ToS mid-cycle, but there's nothing wrong with defending yourself against unforeseen abuses. The people mining crypto on shared resources know they're abusing the system; they're just trying to take advantage and spoil things for everyone around them.

As a once aspiring trombonist, synth trombone is a uniquely grating sound for me. :-)

Trombone is a really unique instrument, as humorously explained in this video: https://youtu.be/IuS_brJYimY

I’d say the closest thing I’ve experienced to a spiritual experience is playing in a trombone choir in college. Ordinarily, in an orchestra you tune in accordance with the piano (well-tempered clavier dictates tuning sharper as you get higher in pitch and flatter as you get lower in pitch). By contrast, in a trombone choir where all the instruments are capable of perfect tuning, you tune to the “just” tuning system.

Multiple trombonists playing in perfect harmony will produce phantom tones that are the product of interference between the sound waves produced by each individual instrument. It’s hair-raising and beautiful.

Hmm... makes me want to whip myself back into shape.
