I rely on reading lips for a good portion of my hearing comprehension. This might not be better than seeing an actual person speaking, but I'd VASTLY prefer this over hearing recorded audio. Reading is a separate beast, but for boring stuff that you just want to listen to instead of actively reading, I can see this being preferred also.
Well, that depends on the scenarios that the threat model tries to identify.

The question at this point (or rather in that specific moment) is what will lead to classifying malicious actors, and how these malicious actors can be identified permanently.

If it's a blocked IP: not a good solution. If it's a TLS certificate for said peer: probably better.

Fighting anti censorship mechanisms is really hard due to its statistically local-true nature. The buckets have to be carefully sorted and randomized with multiple geolocations, ISPs, and fully-encrypted network protocols - to the very least in order to make this work.
Page 7 of the linked pdf report:

> Logistics convoys and retreating HAF were subsequently hunted down and remotely engaged by the unmanned combat aerial vehicles or the lethal autonomous weapons systems such as the STM Kargu-2 (see annex 30) and other loitering munitions. The lethal autonomous weapons systems were programmed to attack targets without requiring data connectivity between the operator and the munition: in effect, a true “fire, forget and find” capability. The unmanned combat aerial vehicles and the small drone intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capability of HAF were neutralized by electronic jamming from the Koral electronic warfare system.47
I just finished ASD and felt the same way about the acknowledgments page. It absolutely changed how I thought about the book.
As cool as new features would be, I sort of love the HN approach to feature creep (or even just feature addition, as distinct from "creep"). It's such a welcome change compared to other websites and apps.
it's only an issue if someone gets access to my device, which is not a threat i am concerned about. it is much more important to not leave random traces of activities all over the internet and especially not in the hands of a single company. my device doesn't log GPS, but google does. if someone gets access to my device, they get what i decide to store on the device. i have some control over that. i don't have control over what google does with my data.

google collects data on everyone. getting data by breaking into everyones device is not possible. there are to many devices for that. so that method is only interesting if you want to target someone specific. if i am a target then my phone is just a small part of what will be targeted. given the extremely small likelyhood of someone wanting my phone specifically, it's just not worth it to even worry about that.

I love these kind of utilities which serve terminals, or other apps over a webpage. I wonder if anybody knows of a program that does the same thing for presentations/slide decks. So I can serve a ppt with a command on my server and can view the slides over the web.
This is the problem with all data collection. You can't predict who will use that data for what purpose in the future.

> I have reread my comments

Re-read my comments, not yours. Every single comment you made has shown a clear misreading of what you're replying to, even this latest one. Let me list them:

1) " you move the goal post from no way did he ever say it to yes of course he said it but it's a joke." That's false.

2) I wasn't making an argument from incredulity, I was simply showing incredulity. It looked like you believed his claims and I was amazed that somebody would believe them so I asked specifically to confirm that.

3) See first line above.
> Or at the very least, why hasn’t a fear of mutually assured destruction set in?

I think this is the mutually assured destruction phrase. A lot of the “cancel culture” has been deployed by the Left. The Right is now using it against people on the Left. This “cancel culture” will go away when both sides see that there is no net gain, only a grinder destroying people.

I get requests from non-technical people in my life for how they can email sensitive files (to other non-technical users) in a way that is especially secure. My refrain: “Technically there is, but… (contemplates PGP for half a second)… it’s very complicated to setup.”

Between email phishing attacks, Dropbox and everyone else on HIBP, I honestly don’t know what advice to give non-technical users besides put it on a USB drive and drop it off. I can think of security pitfalls with literally any other file transmission technology that is easily accessible to non-technical users. If anyone has a suggestion I’m all ears.

I have seen stats that say mornings are the worst time overall for depression in depressed people. And there is a particular form of depression called diurnal mood variation where people are depressed in the morning then fine later in the day. So I agree it's likely a biological thing first and foremost. When people are depressed they tend to find negative things to focus on, perhaps in an attempt to explain the pain, so I'd think the guilt over oversleeping is more of a side effect.

Will the Hall of Shame also use Airtable?

Isn't the ad-based business model of this unicorn itself a dark pattern? Or aren't we yet at that stage, and consider "Read the legalese of the privacy policy, and either continue or move on" good enough?

There's opportunity to use open-source, self-hostable Airtable alternative, such as NocoDB [0] or Baserow [1].

As for darkpatterns.org itself. On the Hall of Shame page there are 5 trackers, and on the landing page (due to YouTube embedding) there are 8. But the site lacks a Privacy Policy AFAICS explaining this. Arguably a site about Dark Patterns could be a shining example of not using them, and I think it could well be tracker-free without major concessions.

I have no sympathy for this lady (The attacker).

I do believe we are going into a worse place than before Covid.

Things for many Americans weren't so great before Covid, and I feel the misplaced anger when I'm out.

I hope I'm wrong. I'm usually wrong predicting most things.

I liked a few things over quarantine. Violent crime seemed to go down, and people seemed less stressed out in a weird ironic way.

Personally, this opening is not the joyous event I imagined.

Oh yea, the amount of new homeless people in my county is staggering. The authorities seemed a bit understanding for awhile. Now--I see cops harasssing them with vigor. I don't like it at all.

I guess it makes sence. The wealthy got richer over Covid for the most part. The rest of us are confused, disenfranchised, and tired? Like before Covid?
I think the thing that I'm really driving at is my last edit, and maybe I was disingenuous in not getting there sooner, but he desperately needs a certain amount of people to believe that he doesn't wash his hands, or else he wouldn't have said that. There's a certain amount of truth in every joke after all.

So I actually kind of believe that maybe he most recently had he maybe hadn't washing his hands much, maybe, but what he really wanted to communicate was this sort of posturing thing, and that's why he can't actually like have a segment on the show where he talks about how of course he washes his hands, and why you can't Google anywhere finding him saying such a thing like of course I would wash my hands. Mark my words he will never ever claim to actually wash his hands. Even if he does. It isn't a joke, it's a specifically crafted message.

So when I'm saying that I believe that he doesn't wash his hands, it is literally because that is what he is saying. So yes I agree to your incredulity that no I don't really believe that, because it probably shouldn't be true, but I do believe strongly that he really does want everyone to believe it to be true, and that it wasn't a joke.

But now it is sort of in this liminal space, where he can laugh at the liberals because they didn't get the joke, the hypermasculine people can believe that it's true and that this person really knows what they believe that washing your hands is something that only pussies do, and then the run of the mill conservatives can now also laugh at the liberals for not getting the apparently obvious joke.

This is a pattern that holds a many conservative things, and I see that you're in this last group.
We've been using Phabricator for several years and just recently started to use Gitlab in parallel. One of the main reasons was Phabricator's confusing and esoteric use of "spaces" for access control that made it hard to include external developers on projects. On the other hand the Phabricator GUI is much less confusing than Gitlab.
Disappointed by the comments here. HN...pure clickbait...correlation != causation much? There was no study about waking up earlier, only showing a correlation between people who do wake up earlier and having less depression. I very much doubt forcing the depressed people to wake up an hour earlier and stop being night owls would help as all that stuff is probably genetic and also correlated to the genes contributing to depression.

This is as bad as "drink chamomile tea" and will be insensitively passed around from relatives to people with serious chronic behavioral health issues. However honestly the chamomile tea has more weight behind it than this.
The original name of the university course in Italy was Scienze dell'Informazione, Information Sciences.

> French press "muddiness" is not invariant but rather a function of filter size and type. It's the equivalent of steak doneness, use the appropriate equipment for the result you want.

I don’t think this contradicts anything I said.

> Espresso is fundamentally different than pour-over. Pour-over is only using atmospheric pressure and espresso is about only not using atmospheric pressure.

To clarify, I meant that the distinction is that the water flows through the coffee in drip/pour over by gravity (as you said, atmospheric pressure) but with espresso it flows through with applied pressure.

> Pour-over is closer to drip than espresso.

> Drip coffee is actually just pour-over coffee made with a machine, and using a warming burner is not required.

This is pretty much what I was saying, with the distinction being that most people making drip do have a burner and that’s what makes their coffee taste worse.

> How good your coffee is depends not at all on the method used, and anyone telling you it does is just encoding their preference.

This is my first major point of disagreement besides how you chose to interpret things. For most people, the method their coffee is made makes a difference because people have shit to do, even baristas making it for them. A half assed French press will taste dramatically different than a half assed Mr Coffee will taste dramatically different than a push button espresso machine.

> Goodness of coffee is a combination of acidity, sweetness, bitterness, ratio of water to non-water compounds, time spent, and enjoyment of the experimentation. This combination is achieved by varying grind size, water temperature, bean roast, contact time, and experimenter time.

And even then, it’s a matter of preference, and might vary on occasion. And even then, you might encounter someone telling you your particular taste is wrong even if it delights you. Such as when I had the displeasure of ordering my absolute favorite latte I’ve ever had—I ordered a delicious natural process, the barista insisted I change my order twice and complained the whole time he was making it because the milk would ruin it, but I loved it.

I’m not trying to be a jerk, but there’s a reason people find coffee snobs insufferable.

Hah, just more of a funny story, I had to do a lot of back and forth when filling out my MS application paperwork and they were thinking that I "didn't fill it out" or something like that. I literally had nothing to give them. They conceded in the end but I guess in the US I've never ran into places pushing it because I have "just" my BA
Some people think that Facebook, or any advertiser, that allows you to target ads using data they’ve collected but can’t access directly counts as selling it, others don’t. The former seems to be in the minority outside of HN.
Sure, but impulse control is a thing most humans have.

And sure, violence can solve problems and let you get away with doing things, but I'm utterly fascinated by people being belligerent on planes. You are literally locked into a metal tube together with everyone else. If you make enough trouble, you will be dragged out of the plane by police, either before takeoff, or right after landing.

There are no other scenarios. Airline crew will not back off. You will do as told, or the plane won't take off. It doesn't matter how right you are, or how angry you are.
In many free mobile apps, there's a very annoying dark pattern in ad screens. Often an ad is displayed, but close button is not yet visible. Often a timer is shown however in the top right corner of the screen. Only after maybe looking 10-30 seconds to the ad, the close button appears. Sometimes the close button appears in a different corner as expected (I would expect same corner as the timer was displayed, e.g. top right corner).

I assume the close button functionality is not controlled by the ad framework, but developed and maintained by the mobile developers behind the app. So the mobile devs should be able to make the functionality more user friendly, if they wanted to.

I guess it's all trickery to make people more likely to accidentally click ads, but it's really annoying. Sometimes I wish I would be able to pay a small amount of money to remove the ads, but this is often not even possible.
The new camera approach obviously is a lot more accurate, powerful and simple now once you have it.

But totally agree looking at their previous solution it feels extremely primitive. There surely must have been a simple middle ground without the app, using a mechanical funnel, a wheel or one-dimensional photosensor to count these. Even if they are different sizes and not always exactly round, the shape and size is still rather uniform.

As architect this a typical development process. Most big projects fail spectacularly like this. In my time as architect I only saw one big project managed properly, delivered in time, within the budget.

Here every software PM can see the signs and hints clearly.
Big projects are usually government projects, ie client changing requests, no accountability, massive incompetence. Changing the development teams midflight! Blaming Utzon/Arup.
I would also argue that punishment by an organized monopoly situation (like airlines or tech giants) would create parallel structures to the law and order created by the nation states we created as the society. It would undermine the legal system.

I find this article to be inspiring.

I’m envious of those who have had the opportunity to study computer science and earn a recognised degree for that investment.

I’m self educated and continuously study computer science. It is the one specific subject that I long to study full-time around similar thinking individuals.

I’m fortunate to have had a successful career as a software engineer, but that’s just not enough for me. I aspire to apply my mind for reasons other then a salary.

* UTF8 is ascii-compatible, so functions working with ascii will kinda sorta work with utf8

* all content will increase significantly in size using utf32 (utf16 is also variable-size, and markups being extremely common and usually ascii, while utf8 is not a guaranteed winner against 16 it often is)

* unicode itself is variable-size encoding due to combining code points, so a fixed-size encoding really doesn’t net you anything
