Just to provide a contrary opinion, I find the pocket button very useful.

Pocket has out of the box integration with the Kobo ebook readers. This means that the amount of work I need to do to read an article on my device is one click[1]. That seems a lot better than any alternative that I know of.

[1] After, of course, authorizing both Firefox and the Kobo device.

Thanks! :) Yeah the keyboard layout is based on the tracker style. I spent a lot of time with FastTracker 2.
Another very effective way is to use an adblocker like uBlock origin.
Shoutout to Ohio! Interesting they chose Troy Township (population 4k), wonder if they plan on employing the entire city.

I'm unfortunately a little skeptical, but I hope it works for the city/state and Peloton. If you find the idea of new plants opening in the US interesting, I recommend the documentary American Factory. It is about a plant owned by a Chinese company opening in Ohio (Dayton), so the circumstances are completely different from this. It explores the clash of cultures and conflict of attitudes of the employers and employees. I liked how they dove into some employees and employers lives and circumstances.

I thought it was interesting, but I'm a little biased because I happened to be living near Dayton when it was filmed, and had no clue this type of thing was going on.
Wellman was one of the greats of pulp fiction (especially the Weird subgenre, on which he was a lasting influence), so it's not terribly surprising that he could wrangle a mystery story more effectively than a literary writer.

Go back and read GDPR again because it doesn't. There are exemptions for smaller business. I don't remember exactly what they are, but I remember reading some of the provisions are excluded for companies under 250 employees or something like that.
I actually find those far more pleasing, AND I pay attention to them. Something advertisers should pay a premium for. The shift towards doing short in-rolls at completely inane times just makes me annoyed and ignore the product entirely.
I wonder how much each ad pays YouTube, and whether any company like YouTube would consider simply deducting an amount from a running balance I hold with them in exchange for not running ads. When the balance reaches zero, ads appear again, until I top it off.

I presume this is not desirable for other reasons? Companies paying for their ads to display would strongly prefer ads display and not allow users to hid them in exchange for payments? (Gaining a new customer after displaying an ad perhaps is worth more than the cost of an ad?)
I am using "Youtube Vanced" to get rid of the ads and it works very well. I have created a separate account - just in case this account gets banned. NewPipe is another alternative and even supports downloading the video.
I thought Nuvia's designs are for higher TDP products like laptops and servers, rather than mobile SOCs. But it'd make sense for both segments, e.g. scaling core count.
I am very confused by the claim in the first sentence of the article: "On March 24, version 1.6.0 of the Julia programming language was released. This is the first feature release since 1.0 came out in 2018". How is 1.6 a "feature release", but 1.1-1.5 are not!? Especially given the enormous new set of multi-threading features in 1.3.

Edit: ah, thanks for the response, it seem I just do not know the difference between "feature" and "timed" release.

Not only abroad but also in India. That is why he is the democratically elected leader of the largest democracy.

And by extension perhaps the most popular or trusted person in the world.

The fact that he rose from poverty with no family connections has rubbed on the wrong side of many princes in waiting and their entourage.
I think it was finally changed :)

YouTube is going to eventually stop paying content creators. It's been in the making for a while. They really have no incentive to profit share.
I didn't make the claim that a code-based test can be invented that will substitute for looking at the data in the raw, plotting it, and verification using your full mental capacities.

However, "the only way to make sure it's right is to ... go through it line by line" is a bold claim. There are multiple named functions and some unnamed functions in this example that could be verified for programmer mistakes (such as typing 1000 vs 10000) and edge case handling (edge cases that often arise from messy ingested data).

But even if they were tested, I'll concede that mistakes can still be made.
Corporations are controlled by their shareholders, who elect a board to act in their interests. The shareholders are paid either by dividends (profit) or growth (increasing share price so they can sell at a profit). So corporations are controlled by people who primarily care about profits and growth, and it's in the shareholders' best interest to pick the corporations that grow fastest. Some shareholders might not do this, but they'll end up with less money, less control over corporations, and less of a say than the shareholders who do prioritize growth.

I think this specific part of the system is most responsible for how our society chooses growth over all our other values.

Why does that matter? Why would Apple's technical features to block tracking suddenly stop working just because an app was sideloaded?
I have a very underpowered Macos machine (2010 Mac mini) which faces latency problems with most things. Except Emacs. E.g., Eshell is much snappier for issuing shell commands than bash on iTerm2.
Well, here are some numbers.

> On an annual basis, Google says YouTube generated $15 billion last year and contributed roughly 10 percent to all Google revenue.

> Overall, Alphabet made $46 billion in revenue in the quarter that ended December 31st, 2019, a 17 percent jump over 2018. Nearly $10.7 billion of that was profit, the company says. Google’s search business remains the big moneymaker of Alphabet’s sprawling empire, earning $27.2 billion for the quarter.

It was a slip up in the sense that Foxconn didn't get to go home with the money, since there was hardly any up front.

Foxconn is known for the, uh, con, so a lot of industry insiders weren't surprised this entire thing played out the way it did.

You didn't even address what I said, and instead resorted back to black and white thinking. All while telling me I am the stupid one. Okay.

P.S. Cuba and Vietnam are still around and still socialist.

Edit: Actually, looking at all your arguments here, you just scream about how socialism doesn't work and if you disagree then you're dumb. Get better, please.
The attempt to avoid or at least stave off the traditional decline curve of internet forums is kind of the original idea behind HN:

https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

I don't think this particular issue is related to new younger audiences, because—by inspection at least—the initial wave of objections isn't noticeably coming from newer users. I haven't specifically analyzed that though.

Complaints about "notable" drops in quality go back all the way to the beginning of HN. Of course it's possible that they're all true, but that would be a lot of notable drops. Or maybe some are true and some aren't, in which case we're fluctuating within a range... or maybe they didn't use to be true but now they are true? That's of course what the person perceiving the "notable drop" always feels—but there are also other explanations for this feeling, such as sample bias and nostalgia bias (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). It's pretty hard to establish anything objective about it. If I randomly look at past frontpages and past comments, they don't seem consistently better or worse (but see the previous sentence).
Hopefully humanity will have developed enough space exploration technology to get off this rock by then.
> I don't understand why we won't stop all this nonsense and build this stuff into web browsers as opt-in or opt-out (let the user decide) and therefore ensure that the UI is always the same without any dark patterns.

Because GDPR covers the everything, not just the web. If we had protections in the browsers, smartphone apps would still be affected. Instead, we fix it on a regulation level and no matter if it's web, apps or quantum-apps, we'll be covered.

I imagine a lot of artists have benefited from this over the centuries.
Including a button inside Shadow DOM which breaks accessibility and cannot participate in form events without javascript.
If interstitial ads (with the profits going to Google) started to appear in the middle of videos I would probably stop using YouTube for everything that requires some concentration to follow. Right now I only subscribe to channels that have ads only at the beginning or the end, but for now that is a choice that creators can make.

A lot of v8.x features were added to fix mistakes in v8.

v9 brings a bunch of completely new stuff, specially in the security department.
You can still have the extra verifier nodes, but those don't have to be on the critical read/write path.

Presumably you can create a config where have your "main" beefy server where all the activity is -- which is backed up, redundant, etc...
And a bunch of "client" servers, which just pull and verify the data all the time. And the client servers notify if there are any errors using some out-of-band channel, probably using the same system you use for general server health monitoring.

So you are getting same security guarantees as "private blockchain", but with drastically higher performance, and only needing one beefy server. And the downside is that you won't auto-stop all operations on tampering, you'll only get an alert for it.
So tell me, are you describing what other people's beliefs are, are you explaining your own beliefs or are you just trolling?
This makes no sense to me. Why is google building it? They want a more stable experience by using a microkernel and pushing everything to the userland? Maybe this will help with updates and vendors letting their devices rot? Or is it something to do with licensing?
That’s one of my favorite stories by shel Silverstein. Just a solid reminder you need to be happy with yourself. Not look for something outside of yourself to bring you happiness or complete you.

The article brought back some good memories of camping with friends - one of them brought this book and read it to us. We were all in our late 20s, no kids around. Kate I miss your awesome vibe.
NFTs generally aren't a transfer of copyright.

> An NFT is a bit like a collectible certificate of authenticity, but its owner does not actually buy the copyright itself - meaning the artwork the NFT represents can still be shown wherever the original artist or creator chooses.

So the whole question is moot. All you own is the NFT and the NFT is associated with some cultural artifact but doesn't represent any legal rights. Like other cryptocurrencies it's a speculative asset whose value is based on the fact that people want to buy them and little else.

thank you. and to take this analysis a step further, claims of borders are also not static or a-political. (c.f. Kashmir). Wikipedia keeps a list of these [0]. On the other side of Asia, China makes a larger claim of maritime territory than the US recognizes...and the US Navy regularly sales through those waters [1].

I would encourage people to make a 2 by 2 matrix for soem perspective. Pick two country's...on one axis and put both on there as the 'violated' border and the 'violator' on the other. write headlines for all four boxes.

and to be clear to anyone not reading the parent. The headline and article wearywanderer mentions are literal quotes. The headline is the headline, and the quote from the article is literally the first sentence. They don't match as a factual matter.

What…? Are you claiming that membership in the existing protected classes is subjective?

It doesn’t matter that the definition of inappropriate behavior or speech is subjective. Each party will determine for themselves what they think is reasonable. As long as they aren’t infringing on any other rights or breaking other laws in the process, this is totally fine.
That's what YouTube premium is, except it's fixed rather than top-up.
> Could I sell an NFT for my birth certificate to raise some cash, while my original birth certificate remains at the state's Vital Records Department under ownership of the state?

Yes, and it's basically equivalent to writing the words "My Birth Certificate" on a piece of paper and selling that piece of paper. It holds no weight whatsoever.

> If so, what exactly would the buyer be buying?

Nothing.

> Just a promise that I won't sell my "birth-certificate NFT" to anyone else?

Not even that, unless you also did that. You can make multiple NFTs from the same thing. Just like nothing would prevent you from writing "My Birth Certificate" on a second piece of paper and selling that too, unless there was some external agreement that you wouldn't.
Their twitter messages quoted in the Adafruit blog imply that they don't know what they bought :-)

"Thank you for reaching out @adafruit. @Hackaday und @Tindie are websites of @Supplyframe, and thus also part of the acquisition. Hackaday in particular is a community exchange website for engineers and developers. "

(no need to explain what Hackaday is to Adafruit.. probably they don't know who Adafruit is either.)
This is really starting to take the shine off of Youtube for me. When it's an explicit ad (this video is sponsored by Hello Fresh, more on that later) then fine - it's irritating, as a Premium subscriber who pays not to see ads, but I get it.

But if you follow anything DIY, maker, automotive or work related it's difficult to tell the sponsored posts from the non sponsored. Is this guy recommending Metallex because it's a good product, or because he was paid? Did the Mikita drill win this shootout because it's the better drill, or because they are the only manufacturer who supplied a tool free of charge? Are they putting a Garrett turbocharger into the car because that was the vision for the project, or because Garrett sent it to them?
This has already started to happen.
X has been the bane of McCLIM for the last 20 years. It limited adoption and delivered horrible first impressions to not-hardened Lisp users / McCLIM developers: Basic-level functionality that's supremely important for a positive experience such as font rendering, absence of graphical glitches, tearing, smoothness and overall look&feel was bottom-of-the-barrel for very long periods of time. Maybe it still is, I don't know since I no longer use X.

Hopefully that is about to change. Daniel Kochmanski seems willing to push McCLIM forward with alternative rendering backends. Moreover, Luke Gorrie (of SLIME and Distel fame) is working on an Emacs McCLIM backend: https://mobile.twitter.com/lukego/status/1387747747864973312
Then why would the content creators stay?
Thanks I missed the news they finally did this.
It's even less than that. A deed contains some language to the effect of "the holder of this deed owns the house at such-and-such address", whereas most of these NFTs seem to stop at "the house at such-and-such address".

Is there a way to see the actual language of these NFTs that receive press attention? Do any of them actually claim anything one way or the other?
>I just couldn't claim that the holder of the token gets any kind of special privilege here.

Sounds like an NFT alright.
I don't buy this argument. If you look at how GoF research is performed, serial passage[1] is the usual method and in that case you just use what works, you don't 'choose' specific mutations.

Yeah, JACK / ALSA / PulseAudio is probably the harder thing to straighten out, and if you are using the computer in normal usage as well switching back and forth is a perpetual head-ache filled with edge cases and incompatibilities.

A turn-key audio-only OS like what KXStudio 14.04 was truly perfect for pro audio, since it had Ardour + 100s of plug-ins and tools all pre-installed and configured.
I use and love Julia but I really wanted to see the general purpose language that is claimed. On one hand, you see amazing scientific libs like DifferentialEquations.jl, on the other side, things like the PackageCompiler.jl mentioned just sucks at generating binaries for daily basis.
I’ve mentioned in a comment above, I find nothing natural in doing operations related to zero i.e. related to nothingness, meaning that I see “adding” and “zero times” as an oxymoron (you cannot associate an action, “adding”, to nothingness, i.e. to “zero”).
When they left that reply there was a tiny number of `cynical' replies. Replies that most people would just skim right past and look for substance, though there really isn't a lot to discuss about "company announces manufacturing plant" beyond things like tax incentives (which would be a cynical comment). Maybe people could talk about automation if there were details and it was further along, but it isn't. It's just an announcement.

Any assumption that a site frequented by people around the globe should be euphoric about a US manufacturing plant seems flawed.

I don't intend this comment to argue with them or with the assessment, but I've lurked on HN long enough to see the growing tide of early onset pearl clutchers who hit a quiet thread with a trite "Well I've never!" moral righteousness, then enjoying waves and waves of adulation while the target of their disdain are pummeled. What is the dynamic behind that? Shouldn't it have a name, because it is a negative, increasingly common tactic that sidetracks many threads.

Well to use magit, first it's "ah, how do I open magit again?" Then it's "crap, now my org-mode buffer has been replaced by magit when I really wanted it in a separate tab but forgot to do the right key combo for that", then 5 minutes of googling "how to go back to previous screen in emacs doom", then remembering it's called a "buffer" That kind of stuff. I still get thrown off a surprising number of time by fat-fingering something and my emacs doing something surprising that I don't understand and am not sure what keys I touched to make it do that, and being unable to go back easily.

So it's really 100% on me for not being an emacs native rather than any shortcoming of magit per se, and as I said at some point I'll probably invest the time, but I _already_ have muscle memory for working in my terminal.
A few things:

* It sets a precedent for other companies to leverage the same tax breaks.

* Facilities still use public roads and infrastructure. A road with 50 more trucks per day deteriorates more quickly, but the facility isn't paying for that directly.
I think also there is this idea that it's the machine or the equipment you need, but all you need is the movement and resistance. When the pandemic hit I bought resistance bands instead of expensive free weights. $60 later I'm squatting, deadlifting, overhead pressing, curling, bench pressing, shoulder pressing, calf raising, lat raising, doing everything really with a rubber band instead of a hunk of metal, doing the same movements and getting the same pump for half the price of a monthly gym membership around here.
wrong.

A periodic reminder that if you're concerned with climate/biodiversity issues, it's increasingly a waste of time to work on persuading skeptics and fatalists (who either eny it's happening or say it doesn't matter for philosophical reasons). Some are sincere,s ome are not, but the pursuit of persuasion and consensus is ultimately founded on the hope that the 'marketplace of ideas' will move to a new stable equilibrium; available evidence suggests that this may take longer than changes in the underlying conditions, such that the more effort you spend in arguing the worse worse the problem will get. I suggest it's better to pursue unilateral policy goals wherever possible.
Youtube is hugely profitable... Youtube ads brought in 6bn of revenue in the first 3 months of 2021.
You're right in that it ignores the disabled, but is that toxic? Surely it would have to be outright hostile to the disabled for it to be "toxic".

What I think has happened is that the author just hasn't considered the less abled, which is a common mistake. Far from toxic though.
Science isn’t fortune telling. It doesn’t predict the future.

I’m sorry, but a PDF from 1980 isn’t exactly a reliable source of information about the future. It’s a little scary how people think this is a real possibility.
They do it more often than you think. For another one see this https://112.international/society/belavias-passenger-plane-f... . Precisely the same action but by the good guys, so no shit-storm in the media.
Wow. This is so doomed to fail. German bigcorp with a faked startup culture unit ingesting Hackaday/Tindie.

Congrats to the sellers.
The problem with duplication it is hard to spot and fix. Converting liters to ml or quarts isn't hard, but the factors are different, and there is also other units. If you only do a few of these isn't a big deal, but if you suddenly realize that you have tons of different conversions scattered around and you really need to implement a good unit conversion system it will be really hard to retrofit everything. Note that even if you have a literToml, Literto Quart and MileToKm functions retrofitting the right system will be hard. (Where I work we have gone through 4 different designs of a uber unit system module before we actually got all the requirements right, and each transition was a major problem)
Personally I feel that the engineers at YouTube are doing a good job for me and I would like to reward them for that.
How do we define "original" when talking about digital works? As soon as you upload it you are making a copy. Then that copy gets bounced around and duplicated across edge servers all over the world.

You'd have to own the SD card to own the 'original'. But who really cares? I don't understand NFTs, I just don't understand the value.
