> Obviously Google does it for self interested reasons

My understanding was Google works a ton on open source and essentially making "the internet" better so that people will ultimately use Google more (since Google is the backbone of the internet) and therefore consume more ads.

All of these tech advancements definitely helps the world more than it helps Google but I'm failing to know why/how FLoC helps the community more than it does Google? Not saying Google is in the wrong to do things out of self-interest, but this scenario is a little different
Not sure, but I've had computer generated symbolic differentiations that the sw was absolutely not able to boil down to the compactness of the result I was able to come up with manually. It was really only useful as a test to verify my own result.
I'm sorry no, this is not "they are simply learning, as science does"

People were against this emotionally since Trump suggested it first and no one wanted to be seen agreeing with him on something, even though a broken clock can be right twice a day
Calling ME a successor to 98 isn't quite fair either, considering the amount of NT that was shoehorned into ME's code base. It really was an amalgamation of both code bases.
Windows 7 has the old network stack, can be slower in some situations.

Lots of security improvements since Windows 7 with Windows Defender.

Didn’t MS also improve font rendering?
The video was cool but I'd also be skeptical of how they imply that freckles (including UV spectrum freckles) are "damage" to the skin or undesirable. It's neat that people look different under UV, and it's a cool adaptation that our skin pigments seem to target UV differently that visible spectrum... that's all I would confidently take away from the video
I'm saying that it's a contributing factor, not a steadfast rule.
There's always a cause, nothing is impossible. Today might not be your day though.
I just learned this recently. In that formula bar, you can call custom vba functions written in the IDE.

When I see conspiracy theories getting dismissed, it’s not usually because they’re not mainstream. Rather, it’s because they posit obvious falsehoods, or lack any evidence, or make unreasonable assumptions, or are otherwise based on fallacious thinking.
What exactly are you hoping for besides google, with some minor noise?

edit: assuming I'm reading this as you're just seeing the results as similar to google, not that they're coming from google itself
You opted in by broadcasting to anyone that cares to listen.

I feel like I’m missing something when folks complain that someone geotagged the publicly-viewable SSID that their router, by the owner’s choice, shouts to anyone that will listen. And then act like it’s this big privacy invasion when someone does listen.
I'm totally fine with both approaches, but I want to highlight two things the article mentioned:

1) budget concerns for monitors, computers, keyboards
2) students cant type

I think I could teach an array traversal using skittles, and I could teach binary search using a physical english dictionary.

One would be surprised how much of coding is trying to understand the logic of what is trying to be done. The api call can come after
I don't agree. Remarkable is based in Norway and I have more confidence in a Norwegian companies handling of my data.
Looks like a smart move to me. Borrow 8 million, bankruptcy the next day, and pocket it all. China can have all the remaining junk from the junk company.
You opted in when you started broadcasting information on the airwaves.
US healthcare system is a joke. I have many examples but my recent one is pretty annoying.

My cost of PT with insurance $150 per visit, cash cost without insurance $69 per visit. Like wtf......I get why cash price is lower but this needs to stop. It is getting to a point where you are better off with a high deductible plan and paying cash for minor visits.

I don't know a single individual who used the US healthcare extensively and said "Wow, US healthcare is amazing".
but given that most of the people who take offence at that takes offence because they oppose inclusiveness of others

You have some evidence of this or just the unshakable certainty of the self righteous?
> There are billions of dollars worth of ETH sold every day

not nearly enough to purchase a meaningful stake that could protect you from premine scammers that launched the project. not to mention - you'd be giving up your money for their benefit. double rekt.

> zero altuistic oversight from ETH stakeholders at large deterring attempts to corrupt the grant issuing process, which is not a sensible assumption

ah, nice, a system that simply relies on altruistic motives of premine scammers that will be in control and largest beneficiaries of those staking grants. what could possibly go wrong.

> Long-range attack is addressed with dependence on weak subjectivity: ... The rest of your criticisms have similarly been addressed in state of the art Proof of Stake protocols

it's not addressed, it's just partly waved away and partly obfuscated in a non-solutions like slashing or checkpointing.

pos still doesn't work, pow is the only known decentralized and trustless consensus reaching protocol.

Great to see reduced cumulative layout shift in image tags! Next.js seems to be the only modern JS framework with accessibility by default. Still wishing i18n would work with `next export`, though.
I wonder about the UK. When I created my business I started by contracting and using the inevitable downtime to get my products off the ground. Thanks to IR35 I would find that very difficult now.

Then you have stuff like workplace pensions which are an administrative mine field.
How many unicorns are from Israel, though?

Israel should be lauded for managing to be an intensely vibrant and high-tech country, and European countries should try to learn from that, but even that is apparently not quite sufficient. So I think GP has a point.
Ask HN: What's the most fires you've put out in a month?
Tech is filled with so many fires. Either something is on the fritz unexpectedly, or out of nowhere, a misclick sends your day into turmoil. What's the most amount of "fires" you've had to put out in a single month? Mine is around 20, last time I kept check. How about you?
The episode where they hook up his visor so they can display what he sees on screen was always cool to me.
You said "Can't you say this about all laws?" implying that laws are redundant since criminals won't follow them and obeying citizens don't need them. But that's only true for Criminal law, not for other types of law because people might be breaking the law unintentionally that's why we need it.

To give a trivial example, killing someone would be an example of a Criminal law and you would be right. But tearing down a supporting wall in a block of flats to expand the living room would be an example of a law that needs to be written down because it's not obvious and clear to everyone.
Go on, which conspiracy theories are true?
For those who may be wondering why 88x31px?

The zero marginal cost is for copies of the same software. Whereas physical goods have to continuously deal with suppliers, commodities costs, quality of said suppliers and commodities, efficiencies in manufacturing, etc., there is comparatively near zero of that with software. Once it is made, selling it to 1, 10, or 100 buyers makes no difference which lets you drive the price down in case any competitor should try to come around.

As an example, Microsoft bundling Teams with its other software at nearly no cost to Microsoft versus Slack. In a physical product business, a seller does not have as much freedom to bundle in extras at no cost to prevent competitors.
A cohort id is literally a summary statistic...

I think the problem here is just one of language, a summary statistic is a number calculated from a set of data that gives you some idea of the contents of the data, but condenses it in a way that you can't reproduce the original data. Common examples for numeric data sets are things like mean, mode, median, standard deviation. Common examples for data sets consisting of a finite list of strings (such as browser history) would be things like average length, character frequency, count, etc. The cohort id generated is unambiguously such a summary statistic.
Yeah it's a useless debate. If you're lucky to only need software that runs on Linux and you use desktop hardware, it likely works well. It certainly works great in a VM, unlike Windows.
Doesn't really matter what you expect, they're collecting the data and there's no evidence that they aren't using it to track... so we have to assume they do. Remember they were going as far as collecting data from people's networks using their Google Maps wifi-sniffing vehicles before they were caught.
Would you make the same argument about a WISP that monitors wifi beacons across a large geographic region to coordinate its frequency selection for some proprietary wireless protocol used in its backhaul links (which it then makes money on by selling ISP services)?

Broadcasting your SSID from a fixed station means forfeiting privacy rights over the SSID. You have plenty of alternatives to the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands if you are concerned -- 60Ghz equipment is easy to buy and has many advantages, and wired connections are another option. I have zero sympathy for people who are worried about the privacy of their radio transmissions, especially transmissions on the unlicensed bands. Radio by its nature is not private.

As for the monetization issue, is that really the argument here? You have no problem with open-source location databases like OpenWLANMap, which is literally the same thing as Google's database but without any profit motive? That seems pretty weak. Heaven forbid someone should make money doing something that is otherwise unobjectionable...
This seems a good one.
I would recommend that, the platform should be interactive and based on user generated contents.
Simply, let it be a social media for sports.
I am not so sure. An SSID is not personally identifiable information.
How do we see that f(1) = 0 in the example? That claim is equivalent to:

int_0^pi ln[1 - cos(x)] dx = - pi ln[2]

Is this easy?
Go on, which conspiracy theories are right?
Yes you have in a sense. Your WiFi router is broadcasting its SSID and anyone in range can pick up this signal. If you do not wish to broadcast your SSID, you should disable it in your router.

What you are suggesting is to me no different than asking why a random passer-by can take a photo of your house. Because of course they can. Saying that a person can not take an image of your house unless you have explicitly put up a sign saying your house can be photographed is an absurd proposition and a sad privatization of the public sphere. The color of your house is not within the domain of your privacy, and neither is the location of your WiFi if you choose to broadcast your SSID.

"Lower level" is a basic software engineering shorthand for minimal abstraction.

IndexedDB builds on top of SQLite, so it's considered "higher-level", not lower level.
Agree. I wish I could game on Linux. DX12 has really cemented the Windows monopoly. Embrace, extend, extinguish.

I have to use Windows to play. If the cloud gaming services supported Ultrawides, I may be off of it altogether.

California is the big one. Many states only require proof of residency to vote. Any state that allows something like a utility bill as ID is allowing all residents regardless of citizenship to vote. Not being a citizen isn't an issue for state level elections if that is what the state chooses to allow. But, national election voting rights are only extended to citizens.

My immediate family (but not me) got something nasty between Christmas and New Years. Based on timing, we thought maybe COVID before it was supposed to have arrived, but symptoms point more towards whooping cough.

Thankfully, our local medical professionals who saw my child and my spouse refused to take any sort of sample, so we'll never know. Also, they said we were fine to go out after the fever ended, which doesn't seem consistent with actual spreading of viruses; yay medical profession.

AFAIK that's actually worse because devices that remembered that SSID would be continually sending probes containing that SSID, everywhere you go.

Medical risks and unknowns are very high, and to make profit metrics, they need to push all risk onto the patient.
Roger Waters net worth is $310,000,000. There isn't a huge enough number.
I've had great success with Vista too. The point is Windows 10 is no where near as stable as you have no control over the update process which may nuke your install. It's a step backwards and offers no technological advantages.
It's probably best to return a function that takes alpha as a parameter and numerically integrates for whichever finite set of alphas are required by the caller.
A vast majority of dog breeders aren’t doing it for service work. They do it for profit. This is cruel and unnecessary.

Of course breeding dogs for work makes sense, because those dogs are needed and, due to the price, the market helps ensure there are few abandoned.

Because the integral is then over ln(1) and the log of 1 is 0.
I've never worked at a place that in my view meaningfully rewarded weekend work like this. In fact my salary went up considerably once I stopped doing it and people seemed to respect me more.

My advice for young people is to make damn sure there actually is a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow and make sure you have in writing exactly how it will be distributed. People who want to actually pay you aren't afraid to put those terms to paper, people who are looking to take advantage run screaming from a paper trail.

Citation needed. What proprietary platforms would have taken hold if not for the grace of gmail?

> Your suggestion that Google pay sites for the traffic they generate should (sic.) like that ridiculous News Corp/Australian shakedown of Facebook and Google

Facebook is complying: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/facebook-to-lift-a... because hey, sharing the pot is better than no pot.

I think the point is that nobody would go to Google if they didn't need to look something up on Wikipedia. So while Google helps users discover content and funnel them towards sites, Google would be 100% useless without the content that ultimately drives the traffic. The status quo, where Google lays 100% claim to the traffic and gets to control monetization, is frankly not in anybody's interest. So why should we accept it?
Perfectly legal gaming operations outside of the USA have been considered illicit and had employees arrested.

The US does seem to have a lot of puritan hang-ups not helped by local gambling monopolys.

Surprised that draft kings don't go with one of the UK online gaming firms.
In my group and collaboration, we frequently discuss how difficult it is to do outreach because you'll get constantly criticized by fellow scientists about every single simplification.
I recall this was argued in one of the early issues of the journal of data privacy law.

I'm not sure what method it's using (if any) but Perforce is the prevalent version control system for most industries with large files. I think most programmers have heard about it from it's integration with the Unreal engine but as a hardware guy I know it's used at a lot of semiconductor companies for things like managing versions of the various CAD required (layout, schematic, HDL, etc.)
> Since Next.js 10, we've been obsessed with further improving the developer experience of Next.js. In 10.1 and 10.2 we improved startup time by up to 24% and shaved off another 40% of processing time for changes through React Fast Refresh. You've been getting these amazing speed improvements just by keeping Next.js updated.

I know they think this is good marketing, but it absolutely does not inspire confidence. Why was it so slow to begin with? Why would someone who’s never used Next.js want to use it after reading this?

Too many JavaScript projects talk about how much faster they’re getting or how “blazing” fast they are. I don’t think these people know what “fast” is.

How would they know a SSID is not associated with a stable location without tracking where that SSID has been seen?
Well to be fair at least it was only 20 minutes. But yes, I don't really see the point in the whole Apple-like video production.
In my opinion you are completely right, but calling this out makes a lot of people very mad.

Hindenburg got a decent hit with Nikola, they have to keep constantly producing those or their business will vanish very rapidly.

It frequently happens with short-focused groups. There are dramatically fewer hits to be had on the short side of the sort like Nikola, than there are hits to be had on the long side (you could have practically closed your eyes and tossed darts at cloud stocks and hit homerun after homerun after homerun for the past decade). Inevitably short groups get desperate and overreach, constantly walking the line between revealing something legitimately suspicious and conjuring a fake short tale (they do that through blending the story, one part something bad, three or four parts bull, and the one bad thing is meant to fool people into believing it's all super bad). Which isn't to suggest that shorts are any worse than lying pumpers / bulls that blast positive propaganda all over the Internet, rather, it's that there are always far fewer short homeruns to be had inherently (outside of comprehensive black swan events like the banking & housing crisis). As such the shorts are stuck in a far more difficult segment with fewer legitimate targets, and I think it pushes them toward desperation more often than almost anywhere else (perhaps outside of penny stock pumpers).
I've only very recently heard of Next.js, what is the ideal use case for it?
Myself and a few friends all got really sick in late february, early March - in my case it was when they were only giving covid tests to people who were hospitalized, so there was nothing to do but hunker down and wait.

We all assumed it was covid, but once antibody tests became widely available, we all went and got them - and none of us had antibodies. I actually got like three different antibody tests over the span of two months because I couldn't believe I hadn't had covid. All negative.

So maybe we just all caught a bad flu bug? It was pretty upsetting, tbh, that we all were like, "Well, that stunk, but at least we know we're immune now", only to discover that no indeed we were not.
What if everyone started using the same SSID name, would that be enough to obscure the information?
I don't think it should be banned but the Beeb is emphatically not a good news source.
FED creates most money just by allowing commercial banks to loan the same money multiple times. How many times is controlled by rates.

Good thing about producing money this way is that it has a fixed lifetime. When credit is paid back money becomes borrowed one time less and thus disappears from the economy.

So the way to control inflation is to just adjust rates so that more credits are being paid back than issued. This scales down money in the economy.

Taxes have barely anything to do with it.

The only fault of this system is that when people default on their loans en mass, the additional money stays in the economy and can't be removed which results in inflation.

>That's not how it works, just look at MySpace.

It recently blew my mind to learn just how small MySpace was. Peak user count was ~75.9 million, total. Facebook has ~2.85 billion active users.
I still have a collection of these 88x31 GIFs from my own websites back in the day. I never ran anything worth sharing with anyone else nowadays but it was pretty fun as a kid trying to build up services and hosting. There was a whole network of people trading "affiliate" banners, linking back and forth to each other's websites. Good times!
I think this is another way of people saying the system has failed to deliver for them, especially in comparison to the rewards for hard work accrued by their parents. I think most people would agree that there is a system where hard work would lead to a better life. Communism has failed that test. Now Capitalism is failing that test.
You can group Tailwind classes into parent classes using @apply and everything works as you'd expect
I haven't been a disney fan for a while, because their lobbyists are arguably the primary reason copyright terms have been extended to such absurd lengths: they want complete control of the mouse.

Steamboat Willie was created in 1928. It won't enter public domain until 2024 (assuming Disney isn't successful in extending copyright yet again...)

Disney raided the public domain to build it's animated films empire, then pulled up the drawbridge to the magic kingdom behind themselves.
It is trivially easy to connect an SSID to an identity, as soon as someone runs any application on the network that has privileges to both an identity and the SSID.

Windows S mode is a tightly locked down mode that only allows Microsoft Store Apps to be used and only allows Microsoft Edge for a browser. It's basically making your computer like a Windows 10 edition of a Chromebook.

------

I'm all for "you shouldn't need a Microsoft account to use your computer", but if you want to you use the locked down mode that is specifically FOR tight integration with MS's services and limiting you from everything else....needing a Microsoft account seems to make sense.

Why are you using S mode if that's not what you want?
While also spending more money on various things, or having to spend them on privatised health care etc. It's not directly comparable. My point also discussed things like infrastructure and public services, which are often very neglected compared to their European counterparts.
And just to add to this, from a certain level (revenue) that's not that high (and depends on idividual states) you need a presence (VAT registration) and a business bank account in the country you're selling your services/goods in, even if you're not actually located there. E.g. a medium sized online shop based in the Czech Republic that is shipping to Hungary. Now imagine this if you're shipping to many EU states... not great.
Great article. While there is definitely some software which needs to continually change by its very nature (think tax preparation software, where the tax laws change a bit each year), probably there are a lot more programs which could become stable and then only receive tiny fixes or tweaks every now and again.

Witness what DeK did with the version numbers of TeX... Instead of counting upwards with the natural numbers, each successive version of TeX receives an added decimal digit appended on the end, which makes it approximate pi more closely. The implication is that the program is asymptotically approaching its final state, after which it will not change.
