Ask HN: Does anyone have an archive of quirky.com?
I would like to read the text of an idea I submitted to quirky.com around 2014. At the time, quirky.com was a place where you submitted an idea and supposedly it got voted on and could become a product. The site was bad, the process didn't work, and they went bankrupt and were liquidated in 2015. A similar thing seems to be operating at the same domain now.
Yes. See every hunter-gatherer village ever.

(Question needs to be better constrained.)
I know I might be in the minority, but I just wish we could stop at semi-difficult license keys.

When I was poor in college, either I would pirate a game or just not play it because there was just no way I could ever afford it.

Now as a grown up I'd much rather pay for the game both to support the creator as well as not roll the dice on a backdoored keygen.

I HAVE to believe that the number of folks that can both afford to buy the game and would buy the game, but would try to pirate first, is a fraction of a percent of the market.

Please stop punishing your fans :/
Unfourtuantly not. The only one I have worked with was really just a normal assembler with a big library of in house macros.
The fact that a number of posters feel offended that he would 'install software that takes their picture without consent' simply highlights how necessary such art is -- most people have simply no idea how many times they are photographed each day without their consent. An artist taking a few pictures, in an incredibly public place, should barely stir a ripple in comparison.

Consider if software had not been 'installed', but the browser left logged into a Zoom call, etc. Or a web page that looks like a computer game, but has camera permission. Or the feed from the dozens of surveillance cameras inside the Apple Store.

At least now we can wear masks.
And upvotes would equally reinforce the validity of your claim for you. Since you're likely as reluctant to challenge your own beliefs as anyone else.
What's the advantage of vimwiki w/ markdown over just markdown + gf (or a lean hyperlink plugin)?
Yes if you write C++ compilers in C++ they are the same.

Compiler writers are stuck. The more optimizations they add. The more work the compiler has to do. And the slower it runs. Defeating the purpose of those optimizations.

If you write other types of programs the compilers speed and your programs speed aren't the same at all. People that write other types of programs care more how fast the compiler is and less how fast their programs run. People that write programs that process entrusted data care vastly more about no surprises than they care about speed. Even more so, in modern code bases the hot sections are very small parts of the total code base. For 99% of the code, CPU speed doesn't matter.

The whole thing is made worse because of the disconnect between modern CPU's and machine implemented by C++.

Growth is change. So, growth marketers should welcome times of upheaval… especially if they are not the most successful brand in their niche.
There are a number of models trying to basically do just that https://paperswithcode.com/task/vector-graphics
The grandparent comment explicitly mentioned legality.
It’s [fire in 30s] doable in the United States in any major city if you follow relatively restrictive schedule and don’t have any kids, not exactly privilege just takes a good amount of discipline.

Also salary’s are much higher and taxes are a bit lower than uk/eu. Housing is not too expensive if you rent a room for a couple years, but this is different between a 22/yo and 35/yo.
The most likely thing is to add onerous reporting rules on US citizens since they can’t directly change any of these protocols. Or, declare that participating in DeFi without a license is illegal. Again, they can’t ban DeFi because it’s decentralized but they can certainly regulate you and I’s interaction with said systems.
I think I found it. It was made by spa owner to lure in rich clients. Spa owner would say they have ancient secret book, written by alchemist monk, of how to treat any disease. They may even show the book to them, saying only their workers know how to read it.
this was about videoing the live reactions of people within the store at the time of the slideshow 'exhibition', not about installing the software/taking the webcam pictures
I got that warning on my Macbook Pro from 2014 after ~820 cycles.

So, somewhat close at least?
"I was still under the false belief that all varieties of law enforcement are designed to protect the public from harm. It was a sign of my privilege, and of my naive faith in the system."

> Systems are designed first, to benefit their creators, and subsequently their controllers, and then everyone else. Unless you designed the system, you should assume it's not designed to benefit you by default.
That's the second quote, the first quote was about the software installation.
Desktop, phone, and tablet apps don't really work the same anyway. Except when they're just scaled up. But everyone agrees that's bad.

I see few people use the same apps on more than 1 desktop and 1 mobile OS. They use Windows and couldn't care less what the macOS app looks like. Or vice versa.

It's about branding usually in my experience. Not what users want.
he definitely wasn't honest about the extent of what he did - that isn't 'some level of permission' it's lying to an apple employee.
I'm pretty sure most phone can do that today. I know most Android can.
Do you think all crimes are prosecuted?

There are plenty of things where the cops say "its illegal, but not worth our time". Going 5-over in a 70mph zone is a good example.
Not sure what dates the history books say (never had time to read them because, you know, living it), but Pentium Pro was known to exist well before 1995. Even Intel had been pushing their two other processor lines, the i860 and the iAPX 432, as "successor" to the ailing 808x and, as I wrote in the post, Dave Cutler's Windows NT team at Microsoft was buy getting their bits running on MIPS and other processors (out of fear that they would be blown off out of the water by Unix running machines much faster than the 486/586-aka-Pentium processors).

It's okay, Linux and guys like Mad Dog eventually got 'em (with license-free hardware-neutral software), though Apple (and the M1) are getting the last laugh.
It likely was illegal, just not something the USSS or Apple wanted to spend the legal fees fighting - they wanted to make sure this person wasn't part of some hacker or terrorist group trying to gather data or scare off people from going in the Apple store.
My understanding is that short selling is basically a type of insurance. Is that correct?
I know it's unlikely, but I've grown (even more) sceptical over the years.

I've stopped being surprised when I encounter some configuration file somewhere with a comment: "TODO: Fix this later" and it turns out more than half the business relies on that thing being configured that way.

Even at companies who do have the money and technical resources to do things right, things get forgotten, or pushed back on.

So, while these are problems that are unlikely, I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering... "Did they have something dumb like this, too?"
Is there a statement from one of the involved employees that wasn't covered in the blog or is this pure speculation?
> Hackernews doesn't realize they are the 0.000001% of patients we see. I'd love for all my patients to make the lifestyle, diet and habit changes I recommend in addition to the medications I prescribe.

That's excellent perspective. To add more: I'd love my doctors to respond to my interest in my health. They usually barely hear what I say, ignore my priorities, and rush me out the door. I can't even get a simple response from my general practitioner any more unless I am standing in front of them at an appointment. (And no, I'm not a nut asking bizarre or pedantic questions. I generally avoid seeing the doctor until it's clear I need professional treatment.)
OpenAccess is the publishers way of implementing "if you can't beat them, lead them:" it is intentionally designed to be ineffective (thousands dollars to publish a single article).

Sci-hub existence is the proof by itself that you don't need billions to publish millions of articles.
VAERS clearly shows over 6000 deaths due to the poison jabs, plus over 60 types of cancer, birth defects, heart attacks, kidney failure, herpes, strokes and other diseases...all since Feb 2021, when the jabs began.
This is obviously a psyop lol. Both from Cuba on the pro regime end as cia on the anti regime end. At the end of the day, what awaits Cuba if the state wins is more of the same, and if the cia wins it will join the Caribbean of being a cursed tourist trap where the natives are boxed in economically for the sake of the internationale
Re (2) you misread - it's the "waving hand" emoji which can mean a bad reaction to something dumb. The "plain smile" emoji is rarely used with friends, in favour of laughter-focused images, which I don't think is unique to Wechat.

It depends on exactly which car you are comparing. The Tesla Model 3 is somewhere around 3500 lbs, isn't it? That's pretty average for a car these days.

And there are plenty of big SUVs that have a similar weight to the heavier EVs.

Besides, you can't assume that electric cars use the same tires as non-electric ones.

There is a huge range of tires out there from extremely long wearing ones to sticky ones that last a fraction of the time.

Sorry, I’ve updated the description.

I’m interested in hardening my town/community against global catastrophe which might otherwise cause severe shortage of essential items.
I was making a generalization, not implying this is a hard and fast rule. And I wasn't talkig about the positive social impact they have on the world. I was talking about they personally have to lose in terms of high quality living.
They won't let them join el Salvador in being a crypto friendly polity so close to Florida. It risks competing directly with Miami/Orlando/US

Yes, and not many of these involve sending the secret service for a visit anyway.
It properly calls attention to what google’s primary purpose is.

Its not search.

A newspaper’s primary purpose is to inform the public, and make money while doing so.

Googles primary purpose is not search, and to make money while doing so.

Googles primary purpose is collect and sell data, and make money while doing so.
> You don't say much besides "I am entitled to pirate any content I want if it's not available legally

I'm not saying "I'm entitled".

Once again, come back when you're ready to debate what I'm saying, not what you imagine I'm saying.
It does not. Almost all memset_s implementations are broken, just mine not. memset_s just ensures that the unsane compiler will not optimize it away, whilst it should also ensure that is fenced. Otherwise you can still read the memory from the cache.
Calling the ordinary memset_s secure is a bug, it's a mere convenience function.
You could always install additional language support in your main JB IDE too. I could see some point if you're constantly working in 3+ unrelated languages for sure, but I don't think that's the typical day to day workflow of most people.

The refactoring, intellisense, and bonus features are hard to give up once you get used to them. A good Go debugger, actual Unity integration that inspects the scenes, references, usages, etc, or Python type hinting actually helping the development effort, are just some things that come to mind.

It's cool there's an open source editor that does most things quite well for sure, but a hundred dollars or so is extremely worth it, if you're even 1% more productive. I'd estimate the real boost I got from JB products is much higher, particularly when it came to Go and C#.
I made no reference to how society should value people. I was referencing how much value people generally place on staying alive, and how personal wealth affects that.

People generally perceive themselves as having more to lose when they are rich than when they are poor, since people generally value wealth and the material comforts its affords them. Attacking me personally, by inferring sinister social views, for accurately describing reality is not a constructive way to engage with the world.
The thing that makes me sad about Slack emoji reactions is that across Windows and Mac users, Slack defaults to a different emoji for the check mark. In particular the default check mark that Windows users will be invited to use, is hard to see if the receiver is using a dark theme on their device.

Note: this was a few months ago, my company switched to a different platform so maybe it's been fixed in the meantime
When thinking of that as the default, within the culture, “we know what it actually means” is the most salient.

When thinking of that as not the default, in a cultural comparison, “how are analogous-role conversational elements expressed differently” is the most salient. So compared to a culture in which you don't ask that so cheerily, obligatorily, without-‘really’-meaning, yes, it totally is fluffy.

(Speaking as someone who's theoretically American but culturally ambiguous, who's recently been suggested by someone reviewing my social skills in a professional capacity to inject more low-content happy-mood pleasantries into my conversation—they may have actually used the word “American” in the process, and I hardly disagree with the connection. Of course, that's papering over a lot of intra-American variation too.)

They're not distributing any GPL code, so their changes can be under any license, including proprietary. And if they were, they'd only need to license your changes under something GPL compatible (like MIT, as they've done)—no need to dual-license. Upstream Linux already includes many parts that weren't licensed as GPL, only something compatible.
That’s an interesting theory, any data to support it? Has this Cernovich guy done stuff like this in the past?
Now you are ready to change the world with CircuitPython :)
> I saw people taking pictures inside all the time, so I just had to double check with an employee.

This "permission" he gets is _extremely_ vague. For all we know he could have asked "hey can I take pictures in the store" and a part-time associate said yes because that's the general policy.
Your theory about racists disliking emojis because they come from Japan doesn't make much sense. Haven't you noticed the affinity [fetish?] modern racists have for Japan in particular? White supremacist weebs seem paradoxical but nonetheless they're very prevalent. It probably has a lot to do with 4chan, their admiration for the ethnic homogeneity of Japan, Japan's history in WWII and authoritarianism into the present.

What kinds of standardized tests are you talking about?

There's a whole plethora of them, ranging in difficulty, appropriate age and the amount of critical thinking they measure.

In fact any test given to a group of people can be considered a standardized test. But very few of them measure any sort of critical thinking, or even reading comprehension.
This conclusion was arrived at because you found it perplexing that someone had a binary opinion on a topic and refused to consider a gradient.

Why would someone having a binary opinion on a topic be perplexing? Binary things exist. Thus it would only be perplexing if you felt that binary things didn't exist. That's the logic derived from reading your statements. Nothing is assumed here, it is a logical derivation.

Of course, reality is far more nuanced than that. You are fully aware that binary things exist. You're not stupid. But than again neither is the person you're "perplexed" about. He's fully aware that gradients exist as well. Nobody is actually so stupid that they believe binary things don't exist nor is anyone really so stupid as to believe gradients don't exist. Such a belief is completely ludicrous. We ALL know this. There is nothing to be "perplexed" about here.

The true nature of what's going on is that both of you only had a difference of opinion. But instead of discussing it in a civil way you decided to call anyone with a differing opinion than you "perplexing." Your opponent was OBVIOUSLY not someone who sees the world in black and white, just like you are OBVIOUSLY not someone who only sees the world in gradients.

But it gets even more nuanced then that. I'm willing to bet you weren't even aware you were being insulting at the time.Let me make this more clear. You don't suffer from brain damage, so you're also 100% aware that calling someones behavior "perplexing" to their face is insulting. Whether it'd be on HN or in real life.

You know this, you're aware of this yet at the very moment when you called someones behavior "perplexing" on HN you lost all awareness. The human mind is biased and contradictory. It lies to others and to itself to justify things such that certain actions can be taken at certain times.

Your brain was too busy constructing a retort to use against an opponent that you never were able to see the hypocrisy within yourself. Would I call that perplexing? No. It's actually normal. Lots of people use the "perplexing" tactic on HN, and likely all of them have the same hypocritical blindness to the rudeness of such an action. It's not you who was biased it's always your opponent who sees everything as black and white. People are ironically biased towards always seeing other people as biased rather than themselves.

In fact, the people who are the least biased aren't the people calling out others, the person who is the least biased is the person who is aware of their own biases.

Well. Now you're aware. And hopefully you'll wise up and be less rude. Instead of asking me to re-read your content, why don't you re-read my content. The whole point of the example is to illustrate the hypocrisy and unreasonableness and rudeness of the "perplexing" tactic. Yeah, I'm fully aware you're not so stupid as to think the world is never black and white, the whole point was to illustrate how you're likely fully aware that your opponent isn't so stupid as to think the world can never be a gradient.
For ten years now I've payed a premium on my electricity bill to purchase energy from renewable sources, to incentivize and support renewable power, with the goal of lowering carbon output.

I am _pissed_ these plants are literally wasting energy to mine crypto. Every renewable watt that goes on this is so much less offset carbon.

I hope those that get rich off this can explain themselves to their kids and grandkids.

The refactor bot idea seems like it'd cause a lot of problems. If you're asked to review a PR that has a bunch of formatting issues, you now need to wait for the "prettier" bot to run and fix it. And if the PR author has to make additional changes, they could accidentally overwrite the commit made by the bot if they use "git push --force", which I've seen happen several times with Github's "suggested change" feature (you can prevent that by using "git push --force-with-lease" instead, but most devs are unaware of that IME).

An alternative solution to the problem with Prettier and other tools being closely tied to your editor/IDE is to adopt editor-agnostic formats like https://editorconfig.org/ .

To be clear, the computers already were taking pictures. This was to draw attention to that fact. Perhaps the computers for public use should not take photos?
Surprised they didn’t mention smoking. Nicotine is an appetite suppressant.
Hence the "at least some level". Although the fact that he was on-site for the demonstration and was allowed to walk out without even a "hey, what the hell?" would seem to indicate that the employees had at least some understanding of what was going on.
> For myself, whenever I read these kinds of comments (or the tiresome refrain about absurd memory usage) it feels to me like there must be two Electrons: the first being the Electron which is the foundation of nearly every app I actually find useful these days (which do not exhibit e.g. exorbitant memory consumption issues [it's a marginal, non-issue increase in my experience] or higher bug-rates than native apps)

It’s also very tiresome to see such weak defenses when one looks around at the experience of people who have only 8GB RAM and are running Windows 10. If it’s just a war of anecdotes, I have several to share on why Electron is bad (or is badly used) by apps like MS Teams and others. Long ago, people used to complain about Java apps (mainly due to startup time). Electron apps make those seem like nothing to complain about. It’s not just high memory usage or the UX being poor, it’s also about being a poor citizen on the computer and making things worse for all the other applications running at the same time.
Drugs are almost non-tradable goods because of all the regulations and differences in drug standards between countries.
This is like shitting on someone's car to point out the fact that...birds shit on cars.

Installing software on an entire Apple Store's set of display models because one employee supposedly "consented" is a serious violation of their property. The fact this software took pictures of unaware people directly right in their face is gobsmacking. But it was an "art project".

At first I was pretty miffed right along with the author that the SS raided them. But with that detail, I am kinda glad they did it! Epicly stupid decision.
One interesting thing I had happen with it was I was writing some mock objects in an array, with some sequential fields like First Item, Second item and the ids were sequential, and they had a third boolean field or something, and it suggested like 10 more items in sequence. IDK how it decided how many to do, but I thought it was interesting it did it correctly.
What's missing from the article and the comments is the fact that Michael Pollan mentions that a friend of his, Jim Hogshire, had recently been put in jail after a raid by a SWAT team for growing poppies and having a book related to opium in the house. This fueled his paranoia for having the same thing happen to him. Seems a fairly reasonable reaction.
Call me a cynic but I’m 99% sure that group of Google’s is probably just as ideologically progressive as Google and not independent in any substantial way. Everything from that link reads like progressive ad-copy.
> Apple announced that it was going to replace its realistic gun emoji by a water gun emoji. Immediately afterwards, Microsoft took the opposite stance and changed its gun emoji from a toy to a genuine-looking one, arguing that it was better aligned with the Unicode standard and with users’ expectation of a gun emoji.

Gotta love the rivalry
