There are worse things than dubbing... In Polish TV all movie dialogs are read by a single person, typically male. I guess they came up with this horrible idea during communism, because dubbing was too expensive, and now we're stuck with it.

In cinemas however, movies typically have subtitles.
> "muh freedom"

Freedom is costly. A lot of people died, and I mean, really, "A LOT", and I am talking people at the prime of their lives, for freedoms that we enjoy all over the world.

"muh freedom" indeed.
The issue is that the name strongly implies that it doesn't. If a system is named "Doesn'tSupportImportantThingSys" don't be surprised when people don't bother to check the documentation to find that it actually does support the important thing. They'll just skip it.
Do they advertise encryption?
It's the CYA thats preferred over CIA that causes execs, share holders and customers to accept this dangerous malfeasance.

It's far less the programmers than the business plans that demand minimal investment. These are classic externalities that serve to damage society at large.
I suppose I should have said "inertia". The heavier rider has greater inertia, meaning the wind has less effect on their velocity.
I do use FF containers and its great, But for my use case I found it to consumer more memory as I don't need the websites open all the time and so pinned websites on different browsers were efficient for me.
The real motive behind most of the lab leak articles:

"Please shut up about zoonotic origins, we don't want to have to worry about factory farming of animals, and for fucks sake could you imagine a world where we had to admit the goddamn VEGANS were right? That certainly can't ever happen. They're already insufferable assholes, could you imagine?"

(p.s. be very, very angry at China so you don't think about the US policy response that wound up with half a million Americans dead -- once you pin fault on someone that allows everyone later to neatly escape any guilt)

It comes from the fact that his newspaper is far-left. But you are correct in that it doesn't appear to reflect his personal political ideology.
It depends on how it drops by 1.2

If all you care about is the numbers, then a drop of 1.2 is a horrible terrible outcome and we should all recoil in horror, no matter how it happens.

To me and almost every other human, having a bunch of 80 year olds die, losing out on say, 1-5 quality-adjusted years of life, is not great, but it is nowhere near a tragedy.

Having a bunch of young healthy people with say 50-70 quality-adjusted years of life left, is an absolute horrific nightmarish cosmic-scale terrible outcome.

But to you, it's 1.2 either way.
Ask HN: What would you invest in now?
I don't think it's quite what you were asking, but I always avoided Two Factor Auth because I don't use a smartphone and all the approved methods seemed to use phone apps.

A year ago, one of my accounts forced me to enable two factor auth, so I spent time looking into how to make it less onerous. Turns out the TOTP code stuff is an open standard and there is a command line tool [1] you can use to generate the codes.

Thought that was really neat. I wrote a little script to integrate with my password manager and went from avoiding two factor auth to enabling it everywhere.

You can blame Trump for it. He tainted the contract process because he hates Bezos (who owns WaPo). This was the key point that Amazon focused on in their objection.

edit: re: downvotes - the article states this in the sixth paragraph
Blender and Krita are fantastic tools. As are a ton of open source software frameworks for writing other software.

But GIMP, I would say they are decades behind and honestly it seems to be actively hostile to users.
They claim to be "lower cost", yet the page is curiously devoid of pricing info (except on how much their token is worth and what its market cap is).
I occasionally ponder whether this is the purpose of funding pure mathematics.
Because that's what everyone(TM) does. Don't judge what makes sense based on what people do.
to throw one other, maybe-less-obvious, spin on it:

When you take a class, you see one wrong way to do things. When you teach a class, you see fifty wrong ways to do things.

Puzzling through all the different wrongs ways to think about a problem really helps cement the core ideas... And first-year calc students are masters of creating interesting-but-wrong interpretations.
Ah, so the question of whether to remove feature A or feature B is solved by simply not removing either. That's brilliant!

I get that this might not be a popular sentiment, but resources are finite. If we have a situation where we can't maintain both features, which one do we focus on? Usage metrics can absolutely be beneficial there.
not really. You think it's OK for someone to lure you to a "job interview" under false pretenses so they can secretly record you getting grilled about your current employer's business practices and then release that information to the public? Or only if it's a scummy company so that's OK and definitely not illegal.
"In film, you start with the best and make your way down to the worst" is just a restatement of the fact that everything enjoyable tends to give diminishing returns, heightened by survivorship bias. I don't actually think literature, or music, or video games, or porn, or walking through nature is any different.

There are definitely things that are fundamentally wrong with movies today, but there have always been things that are fundamentally wrong with movies. I don't think things like self-censorship in film are new at all, it just used to be topics like the existence of homosexuality.

Finally, if you distinctly smell shit everywhere you go, then maybe you should explore other possibilities than that your sense of smell has become too sophisticated, or the entire world just started smelling more like shit. I think the conclusion the author is searching for is that his own expectations and approach to "understanding" movies is what ruined his passion.
Maybe, though I've never understood why there needs to be separate words for positive and negative effects.
To any IBMers commenting - why would you shoot your own company in the foot? Yes people are suffering and trying to get by. Yes there are great and not so great people, in any company. It's a big migration and someone f*ed up. Do you really want to hurt stock prices, and the company by blowing off steam about it? Get back to work!!!!
It does, I used different browsers for memory reasons as I needed them only occasionally and not open all the time.
Sensibilities have changed and the target audience has become larger. Since the 2000s films have sloooowly become less sexist, racist, homophobe and used less flat gross-out humor. Because you can make jokes that are not made at the expense of minorities.

And this is not something purely happening in the US. It might just be perceived that way because they have such a large cultural influence around the world. There is racism, sexism and all the other stuff everywhere in the world, and the cultural reckoning is happening there too, just in very different ways.
Before immediately jumping to BS, it is sometimes illuminating to consider whether the words today may have changed meaning after centuries :)

It might be useful to tone down any highly idiomatic usage of English here, because this sounds very weird.

Yes, the US does the same thing. Apparently the poster failed to point out that I called out YouTube for calling out the channel as a China government voice but didn’t do so for NASA which also has a channel on YouTube.
Yeah he turned out to be a fairly competent commander but it was main his diplomatic skill that allowed him to conquer Mexico. There is no way he would have won without the tens of thousands of native allies that fought alongside the Spanish.
There are plenty of very successful languages that look nothing like the C family. I think the syntax of ADA has a different issue, which is that it- to me at least- evokes languages that are considered old fashioned or out of date like BASIC/Fortran/COBOL.

I'd be more than willing to give Ada a chance, but when I looked at code samples I definitely had to fight an automatic response of thinking it was something out of date based on how it looks.
The NSA has actually lost some of its tools (Shadowbrokers) and backdoors (Juniper Networks)

But they will apply the same norms to you as a tourist. A part of the population will regard them as degenerate perverts.
Right. It is a lack of knowledge, and I know I've seen you argue that Ada has facilities for this before, and I don't know enough Ada to answer that one way or another.

I think you and 'grumblenum should team up and write a working kernel module in Ada/Spark and then we can have a fruitful discussion about it, instead of just theorizing about whether it could be done. I'm interested in seeing the problems solved, and I'm indifferent to technology. If you think Ada/Spark can solve them, that would be awesome!

(Editing to reply to a small claim in another subthread, "Linus would never go for it" - we believed the same thing when we started. We were originally thinking that we'd pitch this directly at Linux distros shipping out-of-tree modules that they didn't want to keep having to push security updates for. https://github.com/fishinabarrel/linux-kernel-module-rust was out-of-tree and we tried to keep compatibility with kernels 4.4 onwards. But it turned out Linus isn't opposed to it.)
I doubt that this is true.

And I'm not sure workers would want it to be true.

We know about the warehouse bots hounding humans into subservience/defeat.

I'm guessing the other bots are right behind -- just not quite as popular yet.
> but making it so that a photograph that I took {N} years ago is no longer something that I am able to protect and gain value from is... not something that I'm ok with.

That's unsurprising.

> Having someone else take that print and then make a poster from it and sell that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Don't share it then. Simple solution. Nobody will ever enjoy your pictures but you.

> The GPL is there to try to make it easier to hack or tinker with the things you own that use something that has been GPLed.

No it's not. The GPL is not about you or me. The GPL is about society. This is what you don't seem to get. Maximising the greater good for society rarely coincides with maximising individual interests. Think of it like global optimisation vs local optimisation. Permissive licences seem to locally maximise individual freedom, ie. if you happen to have the source code right now, you have complete freedom to do what you want, up to and including denying others that freedom. The GPL tries to globally optimise freedom by "disabling" copyright. So you have the freedom to do what you want, but you don't have the freedom to deny those same freedoms to others.

If we reformed copyright, of course a few individuals would lose out. But society as a whole would be far richer.
> Where does this myth that Bezos is giant Democratic Party supporter come from?

Believe it started with Trump. The Post is a beltway paper. It’s a chronicle for Washington insiders, and they never liked Trump. So the Post had a critical stance towards him, which in turn lead to him branding it as leftist. (Which is false. Its bias is best described as institutionalist and statist, which finds alignment across the political spectrum and parties.)
Please don't take HN threads on generic ideological tangents [1], and certainly not on religious flamewar tangents, which this is.

There are plenty of interesting things to discuss about Aquinas in his historical context. The last thing we need is to replace that with generic (and therefore tedious, and eventually nasty) arguments about "dogma" and (god help us) "the errors of modern Christianity".

> and then wrote an entire system!

Yes yes. And this was of course very maintainable, up to todays standards, easy to onboard new hires in, not falling apart in edge cases that weren't part of the demo, code that was audited by multiple developers, it didn't make any shortcuts in terms of security, etc. etc. etc.

That some business guys are amazed by the "lone wolf dev skills" might be explainable, but on HN we should know better. Yes, there are devs that get a ton done irrelevant of framework, but "getting things done" (in terms of business requirements) is only part of the story.
> they pay generously how come they have billions in profits? Shouldn't a good chunk of that go into salaries?

It does, salaries are the single biggest post-revenue capital expenditure for FAANG.
Fair enough. As I mentioned elsewhere, the same people I'm referring to were trying to shame anyone who wore a mask in the early days of the pandemic, with no gain in self-awareness since. I consider that type of unreflective desire to compel dangerous to democracy and opposing it something of a civic duty, I can get a bit overzealous when speaking against it.
You're welcome. I haven't updated it for Big Sur yet, hopefully that will happen this month.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. We simply don’t know. Experts couldn’t even predict COVID waves correctly (UK) but we think we can predict the entire planets ecosystem changes?

I also think we need to seperate out how humans are driving species extinct, and climate change. These two can be very different things, yet are always conflated in the media for hype.

Most species are going extinct because their habitats are actively destroyed by humans, or are fished to extinction, not because the planet is warming.

I will believe literally nothing about the New Glenn until it launches. Not to mention landing the first stage, which was the only part which made this rocket competitive, and is _extremely_ hard to get right on the first try.
That’s a misapplication of the principles they sought to apply and why they sought to apply them.

To put “checks and balances” in context, the United States was not at the time a “state” in the post-Napoleon sense, it was a Union of States that better fit that model, and what they were trying to create was something in between the completely impotent Congress of the Articles of Confederation and a centralized Congress with carte Blanche authority. We got a Congress that could do more stuff, with theoretically carte Blanche authority, but unable to act with that because Congress cannot speak with one voice, and we gave it a whitelist of powers that it could exercise, later supplemented with a blacklist of powers it was forbidden from exercising. The United States also for the first time had its own Executive authority separate from the militias and armies it paid for and its own courts and revenue separate from the States.

The impetus for this by the way was not successfully prosecuting a war of Independence, that made the Constitutional Convention more possible and peaceful than it otherwise might have been, but because Congress, as it existed at the time under the Articles of Confederation where each State had effectively one vote, could not effectively resolve State and marketplace disputes. If Rhode Island’s government was knocked out and taken over by a militia of debtors devoted to the cause of cancelling their own debts, especially their out of State debts, there was not a damn thing Congress could do on its own. No bankruptcy courts, no protections, no courts of any kind flying the American flag and a Massachusetts Court couldn’t effect action beyond the borders of Massachusetts; Massachusetts would have to go to war to effect any action in Rhode Island.

Political systems are considered dangerous and hard to manage, in need of those checks and balances, because their powers as seats of authority are a target for ambitious people who seek to control or abuse their fellow men, and those powers range all the way up to cancelling debts, seizing private property and putting people to death. Economies don’t have offices of power because they are not organizations to be managed and controlled: only the results of human activity.
As I said; it's not a word.

It isn't a word and has no actual meaning or morphology; it's comparable to something such as:

It conforms to Finnish orthography and phonology, but otherwise not a word.
Google was already considered unlikely to win before its withdrawal, so I'd be hesitant to attribute the withdrawal primarily to this.

Occasionally these institutions are manned by people with a spine to stand up to the government. Most of the time they aren't and are at best stooges.

The things that would be studied would be quite different.

Real long COVID - are there still viruses or virus fragments in the body? Is it a minor autoimmune condition? Is it due to damage that the virus did? Is severity of initial disease progression linked to severity of long COVID effects?

Placebo long COVID - To what extent are people susceptible to media influence when it comes to disease effects? Are people in blue states more likely to get it than those in red states? What can be done to assure people that there's nothing wrong with them?

Also, if they acknowledge it might all be in their head then any placebo/nocebo effects might in fact go away.
Thanks, I was definitely missing some of this context. Forking is probably the appropriate response if the contributing community no longer trusts the acquiring company. In an active open-source project, the value of the software lies with the contributors anyway, so as long as they're unified Muse group doesn't have much power or recourse.

That said, I personally think this fork is a clumsy attempt thus far. If there truly is a rift so wide as the parent comment claims, it probably calls for a total rebrand. The way it's currently positioned makes it look like the author is simply attempting to apply pressure to get Muse to change its behavior, but based on this context I doubt that's going to be a viable long-term strategy.

I don't see how the security issues described in this article are really tied to hardlinks. If root is doing chmod/chown in a directory that is writable by untrusted users, the same untrusted users can also just remove or rename files. Is there any example that demonstrates an exploit specifically relying on hardlinks?
