>The bill does not mandate or punish the teaching of any particular point of view. Nor does it ask students or teachers what their personal views are. It requires state universities to conduct an annual survey to determine "the extent to which competing ideas and perspectives are presented and members of the university community, including students, faculty, and staff, feel free to express their beliefs and viewpoints on campus and in the classroom."
Anyone know the status of steganographic tracking / watermarking for scanners? Like when you scan to PDF. There might be something plain-text/easy that ends up in the PDF file to identify the make/model/serial number of the scanner that might be straightforward to strip. But are there more subtle yellow-dot like things that might be harder to strip?
i went back to mapquest because i wanted to avoid google software and Apple Maps is absolute ass where i live.
PCIE 3.0 is 1GB/s per lane in each direction. A 3.0 8x link would do a good job of saturating the drives. And basically any CPU could run 8x to the storage controllers and 8x to a GPU. Get any Ryzen chip and you can run 4 lanes directly to a network card too.
Not a chance.

As it is, they're incredibly overvalued, even after their fall from almost hitting $1B. At their current market cap of ~$663B, they still have a P/E ratio of over 650. That is absolutely insane.
You can easily opt out of this. Turn off watch history and search history, then you'll have recommendations related to your subscriptions, not what you watch. I've been doing this for over a decade now.
> and there never will be, according to the article.

The article doesn't say that. It says:

> So the question is: Will there ever be a Storage Pod 7.0 and beyond? We want to say yes. We’re still control freaks at heart, meaning we’ll want to make sure we can make our own storage servers so we are not at the mercy of “Big Server Inc.” In addition, we do see ourselves continuing to invest in the platform so we can take advantage of and potentially create new, yet practical ideas in the space (Storage Pod X anyone?). So, no, we don’t think Storage Pods are dead, they’ll just have a diverse group of storage server friends to work with.
That doesn't need to be sarcasm, because it's true: at its core, Google's search is a method of finding information, not a method of directly ascertaining truth. It's not really possible for it to be a truth engine, and if you realize that, it's not even a flaw. You're left with a way of finding information you will need to evaluate for yourself, which is fine.

The problem is in the presentation: Google's tools in general, not limited to search, present themselves as though they can identify truth. That's the flaw, the lie, if you prefer.
Board members don't have the direct control that you think. Neither do all the C-level officers. It's a basic fact of organizations that people that make the key decisions aren't necessarily the ones with the titles.
Fortunately social media sites are not very critical services.

You could have reddit, twitter, fb, ig, hn, down hours per day and nothing bad would happen. Maybe even something positive. It's only problem for those companies because they lose some ad revenue.
loads for me but takes a while
This sort of comment is why I still read HN!
I've seen many similar PS1 generator sites over the years. Building a weekend project is great.

I built one in 2012 http://xta.github.io/HalloweenBash/ with drag and drop.

I think there is room for someone to create a site to generate PS1 for zsh (since macOS comes with zsh now).
You can emulate the concept of flipping over / changing which apps are on the homescreen / notifications with the upcoming iOS 15 “focus” profile concept.

It’s not isolating data though.
sounds like a fun project, but it shows empty on mobile (iOS) and desktop (Firefox). Also, having a search before a browser is a bit weird. I don't know what to search for, maybe if I could look at a few projects before I could have some ideas.

Glad to see that AGM is back.

I'm still surprised that he was hired by Apple (one of the world's most secretive companies), after disclosing so many secrets of a former employer. And he was only fired because by Apple after being retroactively cast as a misogynist in a woker age by people bad at parsing the license of creative non-fiction. Life is absurd, and our best predictions futile.

But what it tells me is that it is easier to go from tech worker to provocative media personality than to take the reverse route. He condemned himself to practice a sort of journalism, or, at best, to work for less visible companies.

And that is a great argument for the pseudonymous economy that balajis is advocating. So that people can speak their minds and maintain their livelihoods at the same time.
IT may have the legal right and often the technical ability to monitor any activity on work computers.

But it is stupid to allow any old IT staff to do so, and this thread is a good illustration of why: because most IT staff do not have the discipline or smarts to keep what they learn sufficiently confidential. Allowing IT staff to browse the files of other staff at will can lead to other HR problems such as harassment or even blackmail, or loss of corporate reputation if people post embarrassing stuff in, say, a public HN thread.

The ability should be exercised only under the supervision of a lawyer, which limits bad behavior and creates attorney-client privilege for discussions of what might be found.
From what I can tell, people don’t want to learn, they have a warped view of taxes at all which drives their furor

I disagree about the Roth IRA being unavailable to him though. He listed it as an asset on his New Zealand citizenship application and it didnt hurt. If push comes to shove he can take any amount out of it and pay the “penalty” which is income tax + 10%, so worst case in this country is around 60% on the portion taken out if the tax residency - that specific year - was in a high tax state instead one of the many zero income tax states where it would just be 47% or so. Some European countries have it worse at relatively low amounts.
If you find the right lawyer you will get at least $1 million out of this. Even if you don't feel like doing this, PLEASE do it for the greater good. Google will only start caring about these things if it costs them money. Money is the only language a corporation is fundamentally equipped to understand.
A lot of web apps are not as good as their native counterparts. And maybe MS is planning an act 2 with foldable phone/tablet hybrids, after the failed Windows Phone.

There’s been a few attempts at containerised android apps on Linux too - Anbox and some others. Looks like that one runs on the Pine phone now too. Makes more sense for touch/smaller form factor, not so much for desktop (except maybe for some popular mobile only apps like TikTok)
I have basic financial literacy, and found that article insightful and alarming. Maybe your political views coloured your dismissal of the article series and “the public”.

I don’t think tax shelters for retirement accounts were designed to let financiers such as Thiel and Romney buy undervalued promising lottery tickets from themselves or their buddies, or should be used as such.

Did you consider booting off an external drive? Macs work really well in this scenario. Windows is notoriously bad at booting off USB (though I'm not sure if this is still the case). But Macs can do it really well. Linux too.

I used to do this in earlier times when personal use was still a very dark thing (in our company it has since become normal - at least web browser stuff). In the days I carried a ThinkPad T42 I would just slip the HDD caddy out and stick in my own at night in the hotel.

Later on I ran my own macOS on a company mac from a USB 3 HDD. Just hold option when booting. You can even encrypt both to secure them from each other.

Luckily these days I don't have to bother with any of that anymore. But they weren't too bad options as long as you don't need both environments at the same time.
I use Win10 Pro, but have Home on a few computers for my parents and nieces/nephews. I set up the first user on all of them as a local admin and their account (local or MS) is always a normal user.

It's such a simple way of making sure they don't trash their machine that I'm going to miss it. I'm sure there'll be a new way of doing the same thing, but with 5x the effort and 1/2 the effectiveness.
This is a great question. Let me take it in parts.

First off, you're right that the most important place for support is via companies. Ultimately, that's what matters. But you'd be surprised how much voice people have in influencing companies. For example, if you're an employee, I can tell you first hand how closely CEO's and executive teams monitor (for example) what gets asked about at all-hands meetings.

Shareholders matter too. Companies want to know what their investors think and many of them have whole "investor relations" departments whose job is, in part, to relay investor sentiment to the rest of the company.

In terms of trading, yes, you can specify what exchange your shares trade on. Almost every major broker is a member of LTSE and can route orders to the exchange. As the customer, you're in charge of where your orders get routed, and you're welcome to specify a specific venue. Not every broker supports this right in their web UI, although I've heard that Interactive Brokers (IBKR) does.

If you've been following the news about controversies such as "pay for order flow" and such, you might make a connection here. Most retail customers don't specify where their order should be routed and as a result, they lend their voice to many of these industry practices. Because LTSE is not focused on maximizing trading volume, things are a little different on our platform. If you route to LTSE, you can be sure that no intermediary is getting paid for your transaction, and LTSE does not take a trading fee either.

As to whether traffic on LTSE helps, I think it does lend a little bit of credibility. If you take the time to tell your broker this is what you want, they will probably notice.

Thanks for the thoughtful question!
This is unfairly downvoted IMO, because I think you're actually hitting on a very important point. Linux users tend to be enthusiasts, people who love software, and also primarily interact with a community where the "developer/user" is the most important figure, the one whom everything is designed around.

In the Linux community, at least unless a project has a toxic developer (there are a few), bug reports are Always Good. They're how we make the software WE use better on the systems that WE use it on. Even if a report isn't fully actionable (e.g. it's a problem with graphics drivers), the report is often helpful because the bug tracker is probably public and we can try to find workarounds, or at least flag the issue for others.

For closed source commercial software, especially cases where a tiny number of developers are working on the code, bug reports are Always Bad. They represent more work, work that you don't want to have to do, because at the end of the day these are people who already bought the game. You've gotten as much out of them as you're going to get out of them. If they're more trouble than they're worth (someone else in this thread claimed 90% of bug reports out of 1% of purchases), then it's obvious you should just ignore them or not port your game to their platform at all. You'd think this attitude would be different for issues that affect a lot of people: a good bug report can help you fix widespread problems that are hurting your players, but actually even this is rare. See the story of this guy fixing a bug causing 6 minute startup times that affected at least thousands of people using reverse engineering, when the developer ignored the problem for years: https://nee.lv/2021/02/28/How-I-cut-GTA-Online-loading-times...

So I think you're right, these are mostly people enthusiastic about a piece of computer software instinctively trying to collaboratively improve it for everyone. But because development is so limited (there's only one person reading bug reports and working on the code), those reports are experienced as frustrating rather than helpful. Worse still, because the software is commercial there may be an unspoken feeling that support is owed for the software because the user paid for it.
I'm with you in sentiment - I see Microsoft as the greasy salesman of the IT world, sucking people into their ecosystem with dirty moves. They are trying to reform their image to be less like Oracle, but it is skin deep and purely self-serving.

Google is the nutty professor with no business acumen living off the profits of one good idea - advertising. The quicker they get squeezed out, the quicker the grown-ups can get back to business. Not sure whether that is a good thing yet.

Amazon is the autistic economist brother of Microsoft; continually optimizing against the boundaries of acceptable capitalism. Not evil by any deliberate choice, just aligned permanently towards maximal returns. Take it or leave it.

Apple is a fashion company which every now and then revolutionizes the consumer tech world. Since consumers hate most of the other companies and don't have any collective negotiating power, Apple reaps a big reward, then goes back to tinkering with the aesthetics.
The reality is that 1968 had the highest inflation-adjusted minimum wage ever in the united states. I'm not sure it makes sense to compare to an outlier.
Is it possible to invest in the LTSE itself?
As a non-American I am always fascinated by the hacks and kludges that people propose to mitigate the inherent dysfunction that is the US medical system.

I consider intentional breaches of medical privacy to be in the same league as physical assault and as such would expect a society to respond to these kinds of crimes with swift and severe punishments including jail time and fines.

Why not just arrest these people and take the profits from their crime instead of adding civil lawyers and bureaucracy to the mix?
Can users tell when info box answers have been auto-generated vs. curated? How often is KG content updated or re-verified, as in the case of businesses changing their operating hours? Are KG verifiers subject matter experts, e.g. medical professionals, or unskilled workers?
I still see a computer more as a tool for freedom & exploration & less as a consumeable commodity or domicile. we use our will every second of our interactions with the computer, we pilot the tool through the information.

the premise that this experience must be built into a completely failsafe environment where the user has no possibility to ever do any harm to themselves is foolish. a pen if wielded improperly can hurt someone. but we don't regulate pens to make them utterly safe. and pens don't regulate what they will write.

the consumer does need protection, though, for sure. I don't see it as desirable that apple be the sole arbitrator of how their computers may be used though, as reasonable determiners of what parts of the internet we might connect to.
I can’t read the full article but:

> To list on LTSE in August, Twilio and Asana are agreeing to a slate of commitments such as aligning executive and board compensation with long-term performance; taking customers and employees into account; and explaining how the company’s board oversees its long-term strategy. These commitments must be concrete policies that can be monitored by LTSE.

If such agreements are broken what’s the punishment, other than presumably being dislisted? If there are none it seems like an empty platitude given that you can already buy both on the “regular” stock exchange.

Is daytrading prohibited? If not seems like it’s still bound by the same short term nonsense. I’d be impressed if you can only buy and sell on the LTSE once a year. Money being put where the mouth is and all that.
For some of us, we kind of make up off hours as we go. If it’s 2pm and I’m bored and I have no meetings, I might just take 3 hours off and go to the park or gym, and if a coworker has a question during that time, I don’t mind answering it.

I prefer to do things whenever I want to do them and not bother with “on” and “off” hours.
Reddit started having a serious number of outages when they started rolling out their API-driven SPA-style frontend. Back when everything was server rendered it seemed far more reliable.
As someone who would seriously consider purchasing a project, I would prefer to browse projects rather than search for them.
Endpoint management is like bare minimum security basics. At this point luck is the only thing stopping a BEC or ransomware attack.
This!

Also, the full Ory suite is very well developed and worth looking into. Fully open source!
Completely not related to the topic at hand but ;)

I love this "spend hours figuring out the API" then giving up.

Maybe it's just me but I have noticed that a lot (and it mean a lot) of devs will overestimate greatly on anything manual they need to do that they don't like. And spend hours if not days trying to automate it. Which is fine if it's gonna be needed again soon or over and over. But really, what is so bad in spending literally 5 minutes doing the above manually with a Jira filter and bulk edit? And by extension sometimes there's not even a bulk edit and you need to do something by clicking the same 5 steps 50 times to acgieve something. Again 5 minutes of actual work. Just put on a nice fast song from whatever music genre you happen to love and do it. Done.

Is it just me?
NixOS is the perfect OS for embedded Linux use, and I'm surprised that it hasn't seen any commercial uptake. I hope that some company adopts it for an IoT product or something so that it gets some love. I've been messing around on a Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone today with Debian, and I'm constantly frustrated having to use an imperative OS. I'm not using NixOS because even though it officially supports Raspberry Pi 3, I have not found it to be stable on that platform.

I'm excited about Mobile NixOS though. I've found the NixOS community to be motivated and friendly, but there is only so much progress that a small group of volunteers can make.
I find this largely to be true and a very useful mindset to have, however, personally I've observed two shortcomings:

1. At work, there are some projects that offer higher future value than others. Every task has some hidden future value - but some are higher than others. And predicting their value is, to me, better than random.

2. Eventually, you arrive at resume padding - which is a pretty demotivating and toxic mindset to have.
USA is not the world. There are other countries that have social media as well as struggling local media yet distrust in media is not skyrocketing.

I can’t help but speculate that the extremely polarized and partisan politics of the US has some thing to do with this. I know it gets old connecting everything to Trump, but he did hold the highest office in the country for four years and during that period systematically claimed that every bit of media coverage he didn’t like was false and fake news, while also helping to spread obviously fake conspiracy theories that still seem to be popular with half the population.
Last time I read up on LTSE I noticed that the exchange doesn’t operate differently than a traditional stock exchange. Instead the companies in LTSE adopt specific language in their bylaws that orients them toward the long-term. Is this a correct understanding?

If you aren’t implementing any exchange-level mechanisms, why does this need to be an exchange at all? Why not just create a template for corporate bylaws that you can certify, like a B-Corp? An LT-Corp, if you will.
I know you are trolling, but it's basically the exact opposite of masks, which (now) have lots of data supporting their effectiveness, and which are much more easily studied (i.e. the outcome you are looking for, e.g. "got Covid or didn't", is much more concrete than looking for "innovation").

If you care to open your eyes the data is easily locatable from reputable sources online. One overview article: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02801-8
Red Hat seems at a glance to be more focused on making a good workstation for professional use. Ubuntu seems to be more for beginners on their home computer.

Admittedly, I haven't spent much time with Red Hat (stuck in windows most of the time due to embedded development tools). Can anyone who has used it (and something like Ubuntu) weigh in?
Thank you.

Parking minimums are also proven to kill old style walkable downtowns with commercial on the first floor and residential above. You can't develop those old buildings and also meet parking minimums and preserve the dense development.

In practice, you end up tearing down some of the buildings to meet those minimums and there is abundant parking that's half empty most of the time and it becomes a lot less walkable and more spread out, increasing the need for a car. It's maddening.
I was surprised not to see a comparable evaluation to Ory Keto at all in this article. Ory Keto continued to evolve out of the shortcomings of OPA https://github.com/ory/keto/issues/47 .

It's also based on Zanzibar, and it's used in production applications today. Cloud version coming soon (using cockroachdb) or use the open source version (postgres).

Dinner room at my Moms home has like 6 different ticking clocks, some more than 100 years old. It absolutely kills me everytime.
Huh, if you open the dev console it says it was build with Bubble (https://bubble.io/) a no-code platform.
I'm curious if there's a market for people who want to buy small projects like this. I imagine there's a lot of projects that are already on GitHub with a small following with owners that would like to cash out, but I'm not sure there's a market of buyers looking to pick up repos?
What a nice gesture! Microsoft's app store for Windows is nothing like Apple or Google's mobile stores, and this move costs them next to nothing because nobody uses it. Also, they are competing with regular old free desktop apps. Maybe their store will take off in a year or two and they'll have enough users to strong-arm devs into giving them a cut.
> I think I’ve heard that the APL semantics is commonly described right to left so might be related?

Not particularly related. It's just that every function is either monadic (operand on the right) or dyadic (infix). That makes it a case of not needing to explicitly specify where the function arguments start and end, still without using a stack; it is purely syntactic, and obvious (although you do need context to parse anything that uses user-defined things). Parentheses are still needed for the left operand of a dyadic function if it is to take an expression more complicated than a plain array.

If you had functions of higher arity, then it would become necessary to add parens, delimiters, or a stack.
