Everyone should know of the work by the cognitive psychologist Elizabeth Loftus.

She showed how false memories can be implanted and that our memories work differently from folk psychology (how people generally think the mind works). Her work was and is important with respect to court cases (eyewitness accounts, etc).

That's encouraging but it's far from under control. And the trends are upward here in South Africa, and a lot of other countries.

Even though our numbers are fairly low right now we've seen how this thing resurges really quickly. Without enough people vacinnated or with antibodies it's not under control.
Yes. The review dialog should be shown by the system and the app itself should have no way of tampering with it.

This should be the case for all such interactions, including permissions, image library selection etc.

I realize APIs are hard to change but this is one of the cases where I think Apple should just fix it even if it bricks well-behaved apps until they can be patched (which could be never).
No, those don't really change (there might be data updates to include newly discovered celestial objects). But any ship that operates in space will eventually need some custom work and some of that would need to be merged back into mainline or maintained as a patch.

It would be necessary to upgrade if, for example, new devices were installed in the ship, which were developed after the original ship firmware was installed.

All of this is already a problem, for example for the US Navy, https://news.usni.org/2021/04/12/navy-software-factory-the-f...
Most people will suggest Plex, but I prefer Emby 1000x more than Plex

>What is this "free pass" of which you speak?

We gladly buy almost everything from China (lithium batteries, electronics, wind turbines, solar panels, all of which take a tremendous amount of energy to manufacture), without ever asking if they were made in a "CO2 neutral" way.
I switched from vim to neovim because I thought I needed to to use coc.nvim - turns out I didn't need to, coc.nvim works in vim 8+

As a neovim user who is just having neovim load my vimrc - nothing neovim specific -, I don't see a huge difference. Are there features I am missing out on?

I do like the idea of having everything in my vimrc so I could still use it with vim on a server if needed.
Show HN: A Cryptic Hunt Website
Hi HN!, We're a group of High Schooler's who have made a website for an international cryptic hunt we have been organizing.
Everything has been built from the ground up and has been open sourced. We'd love feedback on our work.

And if it interests you, feel free to register and try a level or two!

It is awesome, but I have been running into bugs with it. Memory out of bounds errors, freezing when my project is misconfigured, it doesn't feel stable yet. Is that just me?
They're not joking; this acquisition cost more than it cost Disney to buy Marvel and Lucasfilm COMBINED. They're definitely taking the entertainment end of their business very seriously.
I can suggest to give a look to Duckietown, it's a very well done platform for learning robotics. They released the massive obligation open course that for free!

I have a basic nas at home which I periodically download content to from the seedbox so I'm getting away with just 1tb capacity online at around 11euro per month. Have plex running on a raspberrypi which just indexes from both seedbox and nas and serves to TVs around the house without transcoding.
You aren't wrong about this, and to boot, I just got back from a week and a half with my in-laws, who are Filipino-Americans.

They are pretty rabid Trump supporters, probably not unrelated to the fact that my wife's family are universally successful, extremely wealthy, entrepreneurs. They live in Atlanta, and therefore the topic of the massage parlor shooting came up.

The refrain I kept hearing from my wife's uncle, specifically, was that "we know what we see with our own eyes, and it doesn't match what THEY (he meant the establishment media) are trying to tell us".

It was a rather surreal experience arguing about Trump with them as a white dude, with them being the defenders.
I've heard that when Marc Okrand invented the Klingon language, he deliberately omitted the verb "to be".

So of course for Star Trek VI, they asked him to translate "To be or not to be".

Chancellor Gorkon: You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon.

Yes, and then you get a bundle with Prime, Netflix, Disney whatever. For the first year it will be great, SSO, maybe unified search, whatever.
But then, this will become "basic netflix, basic prime". All the good stuff will be in a "new" premium tier. You'll have to add those to your subscription, and then you'll endup with cable tv over ip.
Netflix still offers their original service that got them started and helped them wipe out Blockbuster and other competition: DVD's in the mail. https://dvd.netflix.com/
This. I don't understand why streaming a movie is so much more expensive than renting a physical DVD or VHS from a brick-and-morter store. If I want to watch a new movie, it is generally much cheaper to rent a DVD from redbox than watching it from any of the streaming services that allow you to rent it online.
Maybe people don't expect the ruling to stand. Shell is 11% of the AEX stock index. If they were forced to halve their operations just because of a change in the courts interpretation it would create a significant lack of confidence in the business legal environment. The Dutch government is more business friendly than that.
> China recently overtook the entire developed world combined in greenhouse gas emissions [1] and their output is still set to keep climbing for decades yet. Very soon they'll be at three times the emissions of the US.

Is that meant to be some sort of argument against reducing emissions? If the US managed to reach zero-emissions ahead of China, then China would be releasing infinity times more greenhouse gasses than the US! Is this meant to be some sort of argument against decarbonising, since all it tells me is that even more needs to be done.

> you can now take emissions to zero in the developed world and it won't matter at all unless you stop China's runaway output. And that's before Africa adds another billion people in the coming decades and seeks a similar pattern of development (again, the green theater is all a bullshit fraud unless the plan is to stop all of this development across the board immediately, otherwise none of it matters).

Why do you think "the developed world" isn't zero emissions already? I'll give you a clue: it's the same reason countries like China continue to build up their fossil fuel infrastructure (alongside some of the largest rollouts of nuclear and renewable energy, I might add!)

It's because we, as a species, don't have the technology and manufacturing throughput to easily switch over completely to renewables (although we can get pretty far already, and should not wait if there are existing solutions). That needs a lot more investment, in time and money. That is simply unafforable to many developing countries, who need to lift their populations out of poverty right now.

Many developed countries do have the time and money; their populations aren't dying off from preventable diseases, so they can afford to invest heavily in this tech. Once we do have sufficient technology and manufacturing capability, it can be sold to the developing world. It's a sound business investment, but the startup capital is simply too high for many countries like those in Africa to cover. (Note that China is a huge investor in technology and manufacturing too)
I think you're more likely to get agreement about reality using e-prime. It's primary purpose is to prevent arguments over what something 'is', and replace them with shared observations of what we perceive. Instead of saying the ball is blue, you say, the ball looks blue to me. Or instead of saying light is a wave, you say light behaves like a wave when sent through a double slit, etc.
If anything, it accentuates the subjective nature of our experience, and grants validity to people's sense of identity (because that's obviously their subjective experience).

> I stopped watching it though once the "protomolecule" stuff started.

So, the first scene in the first episode? Before the opening credits?

It would be one thing if they added the crazy alien magic plot device midway through a later season to get out of some writing hole they'd gotten themselves into, but they intentionally opened the first episode of the show (and the prologue of the first book) with a fleeting glimpse of what the protomolecule is capable of to set the stakes for the rest of the series.
As a reader of undergraduate papers, I'm all for exercises like this, if only to push them to try harder, and unmuddy their thinking. But as some kind of political consciousness programme? lol. no.
I'm a bit vague on what this is, is this apart of UE5 ? Is it a side project ?

My main problem with UE is C++, I don't want to even try to download files or read json in a blueprint.
Valve's efforts in hardware (and Linux support) are motivated by getting leverage in negotiations with Microsoft.

After all, Microsoft could pull an iOS and insist on a cut of all sales on Windows - or make the microsoft store the only way to distribute software.

Like a pilot with a parachute, they'll dutifully maintain it - but they hope not to need it.
Is the issue that the comparison is bad and/or doesn't add much value - or just that we should generally avoid discussing that topic unless directly related?
It's probably more than one or two. Amazon Prime Video and Netflix are two right there. But, you're right, The reality is that most people don't feel like they have to see a particular show. In any case, for the time being, it's pretty easy to dip in and out. I guess I have four at the moment (though two of them are free for various reasons).

Depending upon how you allocate the cost of Amazon Prime though, I'm saving a lot compared to when I had cable--albeit at the cost of losing live TV.
I don’t like any product placements —but even less so when they’re injected after the fact.

I don’t care if I “recognize” a car being a Toyota, if it’s necessarily incidental to the scene.

I do care that things may be artificially plastered in a scene, whether cereal box in a movie before breakfast cereals were a thing or a billboard on a building for a brand that didn’t exist. At that point it’s not a film and it becomes an advertising cartoon.

It’s a bit repulsive to be honest.

Does the mouse analogy hold though?

The relationship between a mouse and food in a house is not symbiotic, whereas there is value provided in Stripe's "nibbling", if there wasn't the merchants would reject it, right?

Does the author have a follow-up post on "how not to be a mouse"? I think that might interesting, unless all "platforms" are fated to be mice?
What are they storing that the project is that big?
The article states that this is only legally binding in the Netherlands. Shell can easily cut their CO2 emissions in the Netherlands by 45% till 2030 as per the ruling. Worse case they will shut down their operations.
When you wage a war you take any wins you can. You fight for every corner and every street.

Western policies create a forcing function on the technology development.

We need to make products so good that they win even without climate emergency.

Tesla is a perfect example of that. Solar energy soon will also be simply better than any fossil fuels.

It is also important to have your own stuff together when demanding the same from others.

And if China will not be meeting its targets I see no reason to not impose import taxes on China.

We could monitor China emissions from space and tax accordingly.
This looks like Culture War.

> [The new Freenode owner] Andrew was repeatedly asked in the "policy discussion channel" whether slurs, racism and transphobia are now permitted on Freenode. No answer has been forthcoming.

The new owner either will not answer, or will not take a side, in the Culture War. In response, a number of users have taken his non-answers as an answer, and are leaving.
To be a little fairer to AMZN, they didn't invent store brands. Every major big box retailer/supermarket does this.
Varies between engines but its usually the same as a normal code build but with way more tooling around dealing with large art assets, importing them, compressing them, etc.
No, the point is, you probably don’t. Most anecdotal “reinfections” are from people who think they were infected, but never had it confirmed.

These stories are also typically second- or third-hand, and resemble whatever story was most recently in the news: “my ‘friend’ had a bad cold in March 2020, then got tested in July and had Covid. He was reinfected!” Stories that are heavy on hearsay, but light on details.

When we actually go and look for reinfections using rigorous standards, we find that they’re incredibly rare. It’s highly unlikely that there’s a huge wave of reinfections that we’re simply not seeing after hundreds of millions of infections and months of effort to find them.

On odd occasion I would watch a movie when visiting my parents, every single time I am just shocked when commercials pop up, and it lasts for ever.

I can't believe I was used to that. Now its just unacceptable.
Horrible idea; this is not a positive thing from a cultural heritage point of view. I am not a fan.
IRC channel topics are plain text. They don't parse JavaScript.
This is not my experience, there is plenty of area's in cities where outsiders will be mugged, beaten, or other wise treated terribly.

This idea that only white people treat minorities badly is insane and not fit with actual realty (and is actually racist )
Ask HN: Visa Required on Work at a Startup?
What does it mean when a job posting on the Work at a Startup says Visa Required? Does it mean that the applicant needs a visa to be considered? Or am I reading it wrong.

For context, I'm a recent bootcamp grad and am interested in working at startups but I'm currently on an H1-B visa.

My apologies if this isn't obvious as English is not my first language.
You can also still subscribe to the Netflix DVD service, although it's degraded compared to what it used to be. They're obviously not replacing a lot of disks when they wear out.
Will there be ever be another Tournament or are we stuck with Fortnite?
I think that's not quite what we want, however it might be what we have to accept.

Ideally, people who are stick will stay home, rather than put on a mask and go out into public. However the current state (pre-pandemic) is 'be sick, go out into public and claim it's just allergies'. So perhaps putting a mask on is a good substitute.
I can't wait. The Cat in The Hat will be using Flash spray. Saruman will harm the environment with CAT excavators. Harry Potter... OK they already are milking the franchise for all its worth. At least the copyrights expire eventually.
Google’s I/O Adventure was almost as good as being there
I thought it was going to be like Russian, where the "to be" verb is almost always just omitted. That would probably work in English as well, though in Russian, they also use noun cases to help with making the sentences meaningful.
> To offer a different point of view: If I were to create my own chat protocol, I would actively try to make it next to impossible to implement it on mobile and consider this a feature. Nothing is gained by mobile users.

I can understand where you're coming from, but it's also important to note that a huge part of this planets population doesn't have access to a computer. Many folks, if they have internet access at all, only have access to it through (cheap) mobile devices. A protocol that's explicitly designed to be impractical/hard/impossible to support on mobile would exclude large swaths of people from ever being able to participate.
Polio and Small Pox are two prominent examples that come to mind.

And in relation to parent comment, I haven't had a polio or smallpox booster in decades, nor do I expect to ever receive one again. I believe you have misunderstood parent comment.

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

You could have said:

"Punishing supply would not do much without decreasing demand, it will just redistribute the profits. Moreover, the profits might go to less morally sound places."

Findchips advertising and the SaaS tools for sourcing/lifcycle/data aggregation of components is their moneymaker. Hackaday is basically subsidized through The rest of Supply Frame, along with offering marketing partnerships and other tangential marketing type services. There's a lot of things Supply Frame does and Hackaday/Tindy are not major targets of this acquisition.

The biggest play here is competition to Altium's Octopart purchase, especially with all of today's electronic component supply chain woes. The Siemens (Mentor Graphics/PADS/Expedition) + Findchips/SupplyFX data is likely one of the end goals where the value will be derived.

I also encourage the use of proxy servers and/or vpns(preferably not as a service!) when using irc on the wild world of the web. In addition to cloaking, and everything else you mentioned.
I sometimes prefer subtle product placement. It looks weird when a character asks for a "beer" at a bar or a "pack of cigarettes" at a bodega. It would feel much more natural they just asked for a pack of Camels.
The Ministry of Truth is having a field day with modern tech.
> At the very least "burning fossil fuels is bad" is a statement of privilege. A person who's cold or unable to travel or get necessities delivered would never say this.

You could extend this argument "Slavery is bad", "Genocide is bad", "War is bad" etc. are all statements of "privilege".

Completely ignoring climate change, particulate pollution from fossil fuels has killed a terrible amount of people and will continue to do so for some time. Currently its around 13,000 per year in the US.

I agree that removing scenes or adding product placement into existing works of art is very troubling but I'm not sure I would equate that to adding disclaimers to the start of a film. In my mind it's like an age rating - it's additional information which gives someone the information they need to decide if a film is appropriate for them or their family.
I now regret having read the plot summary to refresh my memory. It's terrible!

Show HN: Keptab – Powerful Tabs Manager
Hello HackerNews!

Recently, I launched a brand new project named Keptab.

Keptab (https://keptab.com/) is a powerful tabs manager that convert all your tabs with one click to a simple list. And more, you can share the list as a web page with your friends.

Keptab is similar to OneTab, but more powerful than OneTab.

If you like OneTab, may you would try Keptab. Now available Chrome version, and more version will be upload later.

Take a try in https://keptab.com/

Happy to answer any questions you may have!
If users can just switch to another platform, then acquiring something like this is pointless.
Years ago company I know bought a service - something like Instagram, but it was built on some open source project.
The former owner setup a new platform and had most users moved over after the sale.
So the company essentially got left with dead accounts and a spaghettised open source project...
It's like a real-life Voight-Kampff test scenario.
