> Journalists, professors (Kappan, Teltumbde) languishing in jail without trial on trumped up charges

Can you please tell the HN audience whether Teltumbde was able to approach the Supreme Court of India for relief and what the SC told him? Or are you also casting aspersions on the Supreme Court?

> A 84 year old Parkinson's patient (Stan Swamy) who couldn't feed himself water arrested on trumped up charges, held without trial, dying in jail indicates otherwise.

He died in a hospital.[1]

He was able to present his case before a court multiple times.

> I could keep going on giving examples till the cows come home.

A lie here, a half-truth there. I am sure you can find an infinite number of similar "examples."

Hm. My immediate counter to your point was “that is because YouTube doesn’t allow anyone to use their api,” but now that I think about it I’m not so sure.

Is it Apple keeping non-Google-produced YouTube clients off the App Store, or is it Apple? Maybe both?

"preponderance" is doing a lot of work in that statement. I would argue that this is mostly about reevaluating our standards for preponderance.

And it's really hard to know if a study is reproducible. We could assume everything is incorrect until it has already been reproduced by an unrelated party, and I think that would be a major change in thought.
1. Depends on whether kopecks are divisible into a smaller monetary unit or not. If they are divisible into 100 units, I believe the answer is "anywhere between 7.00 and 7.99 kopecks".

(Problem #2 requires kopecks to be divisible.)
The thing about Netflix is that it's become very homogenous. If you don't like the kind algorithmically-optimized stuff that the people who produce Netflix Original Series are doing, then it's good for about as much time as it takes to finish binging the first couple Star Trek series and The Great British Baking Show, and then you're just sort of done with it.

The Anti-Sikh riots were not the only thing. The perpetrators of Anti-Sikh riots in 1984 became central ministers in the subsequent Congress cabinets.

But, again, the premise is not that "as a file format, PDF is better than HTML". The premise is: because HTML is two-way, it enables surveillance capitalism and allows bad actors to monopolize the attention economy. The author wrote it thus:

> Sure, you can write good HTML. I won’t argue with that. And if you’re writing good HTML, good for you. But HTML is a dual-use technology, the bad guys are dual-using it an awful lot, and I feel that the stone age still has a part to play in the progression of the information age.

The part where you engage with this is where you write:

> I'm sorry, the more I think about this the dumber I feel. The web is useful because it's 2-way. I am excited by the web because I can interact with other people. I come to hacker news to engage with thinkers, not to just read a published article from one single author. I want to read ad-hoc opinions and user submitted content. PDF web, really?

Which is interesting! Do you have thoughts on creating peer-to-peer systems that don't enable surveillance capitalism?
> I honestly don’t know where this will lead.

The best approach for myself has been implementing the thing I use to some degree as a learning exercise. Not as in "production ready and feature complete" but rather as an exploration of the major mechanisms and basically playing around. It's fun!
This isn't bikeshedding at all. In art and design, black has never been just one color. It's always been a choice of which ones to use. Here are some examples from printing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_black
This is a gish gallop. It won't happen, and if it does, it won't work, and if it does, it won't work well enough, and if it does, nobody will want it, and if they do, it will be too expensive.

Somehow the rest of the developed world made them work, and they form a key part of the infrastructure. But, as with everything else that works well in the rest of the developed world, "It wouldn't work here because America is so special."

I agree with your want. Wholeheartedly.

Alas you are right in that this culture is all over Corporate World (yes not just America). Vendor lock-in is something that's been with us since forever and I doubt it will ever go away. They might have gotten better at hiding it from obviously being spotted but that's about it and in some other cases it's still just as clear as always but the marketing people are still very good at selling it to customers.
Kopeck - "It is usually the smallest denomination within a currency system."

I presume they used kopecks for a purpose and not rubles, dollars or another unit that can be subdivided. That forces the integerness of the amounts and thus the presence of a solution.
In many games, it's pretty clearly part of the design that the random elements are there to provide rubber-banding— particularly in games with more than 2 players, where sometimes you try to win without looking too much like it, so you avoid getting ganged up on (think: the robber in Settlers).

Non elite stem academia is essentially a back door immigration program. The research is basically useless, and incremental at best
The full installation includes an IDE, a documentation system, a web server, a bunch of graphical games, a slide presentation program, significant educational software, and more, plus thousands of pages of docs. If you want a smaller program to install, the Minimal Racket distribution will use much less space, and is still a full-featured Lisp.
They did send quite a few humans out to Hubble to work on it, but that doesn't take away from how many other pieces of space equipment are designed that way
The US has no federal laws AFAIK regarding use, only possession, which itself was reduced to a misdemeanor ages ago. Hopefully, the Congress will take a leaf out of the Alaskan legislature's book and simply stay out of its citizens' homes.

Define "new" code - rust has no ABI stability story, and doesn't have a path to interact with any language other than C, so new code in existing libraries may not be feasibly written in rust.

Anyway, Apple's safe language is Swift, which they are clearly pushing and using more of as time goes by.

Yes, I agree. Modern writers have no such freedoms to do this type of writing. Imagine the backlash of just page after page of "The blacks are X" or "the Jews are Z". Even writing down the criticisms to be debunked would send the Twitterverse into a meltdown.
Here's why, from the article:

Yeah but you also can't go test 100 previous studies that the work you want to do is based on before you can even start yours. That's extremely inefficient, wasteful, and will tremendously slow progress.
I see. Well I wish you guys luck on that!

Ask HN: Why startups don't translate the products?
recently, i've noticed an interesting trend:

startups don't translate their products, despite their teams/founders being polyglot

this is true especially among YC startups

for instance, i've seen YC-baked startups with European roots, but none of them offer product in their home language

does anybody have an explanation why this has happened?

in my experience, companies are more eager to work with you if you speak their language

No. Hopefully Congress will roll back its decision and make it fully legal.

That way:

* it's legal to grow
* legal to sell
* legal to sell across state borders
* possible to get a bank account used in its financial transaction
* we can start to undo the damages to 10s of millions who have experienced by
either themselves, or their loved ones, being thrown into the prison system.
So, with Loom now we can tell exactly in which order theses threads were executed as it's not up to OS to decide thread execution order anymore?
While writing in C is one way to speed up R code, you can also get pretty close to compiled speed by writing fully vectorized R code and pre-allocating vectors. The R REPL is just a thin wrapper over a bunch of C functions, and a careful programmer can ensure that allocation and copy operations (the slow bits) are kept to a minimum.
Intel has no presence as a foundry-as-a-service, TSMC is the market leader. I can just about understand Intel getting away with an acquisition in this space, TSMC would be a really difficult sell to regulators.
The company's patent is a thing, but as explained down the page black 3.0 exists specifically because the company granted Anish Kapoor an exclusive artistic use license to Vantablack S-VIS, so no other visual artist can use S-VIS.

Also of note: there are variants of Vantablack with aligned and unaligned nanotubes, as well as non-nanotubes-based variants (the VBx series).

There is also a non-surrey nanotubes-based paint called Singularity, created by Nanolab in partnership with Jason Chase, and an other "very black" non-nanotubes paint called Musou.

I don't know how Musou compares to 3.0, and last time I'd checked Singularity was slightly more reflective than Vanta. They do have the avantage (for artists) of being available though, and Musou and 3.0 are pretty normal paints.

It's pretty convenient for things like uncertainty propagation and data cleaning...all things statisticians should care about.

A relatively limited API, walled off from the rest of the language.
This should be the default scientific position, however because people (including scientists) care greatly about their health and the health of their loved ones, they are very likely to latch on to things that they would like to be true

Wouldn't any linux/nptl thread require at at least the register-state of the entire x86 (or ARM) CPU?

I don't think goroutines would need such information. A goroutine knows that "int foobar;" is currently being stored in "rbx", and that "int foobar" is currently saved on the stack. Therefore, rbx doesn't need to be saved.

------

Linux/NPTL threads don't know when they are interrupted. So all register state (including AVX512 state if those are being used) needs to be saved. AVX512 x 32 is 2kB alone.

Even if AVX512 isn't being used by a thread (Linux detects all AVX512 registers to be all-zero), RAX through R15 is 128-bytes, plus SSE-registers (another 128-bytes) or ~256 bytes of space that the goroutines don't need. Plus whatever other process-specific information needs to be saved off (CPU time and other such process / thread details that Linux needs to decide which threads to process next)
What's the difference between capital punishment and life imprisonment here? The amount of people that have their case re-analyzed to release them must be low. Plus, after decades in prison, coming out of it likely will make life very hard to get back into.

I really love this kind of thinking. This isn't the first time I have happen upon it, but I really like the idea that the work I do for a company is an exchange in which both the company and I get something out of it.

My guess: some team had a bright idea and managed to secure early associates and evangelizers before someone higher up started asking how the project actually synergizes with other company priorities. Since it obviously didn't, because it was something pro-consumer for a change, it got gutted, and the name reused to push some "value-add" IoT crapfest.
I wonder how much does it differ from python's use of C or Cython (I have only superficial R skills). The prototypical example of why Python's C prevents interoperability is how the introspection needed by Jax or Tensorflow (e.g. for automatic GPU usage or automatic differentiation) fails when working on Scipy functions implemented in C.

For instance, I imagine there is an R library that makes it easy to automatically run R code on a GPU. Can that library also work with Rcpp functions?

The results actually say 51% of the unvaccinated, and 9% of vaccinated, think vaccines have microchips in them, pulling the overall number to 20%. Obviously, this is wrong, if you have any common sense at all. Stupid questions deserve stupid answers. The census has what looks like a more accurate list of reasons for vaccine hesitancy IMO.

- 50.6% Concerned about side effects

- 47.6% Don't trust COVID-19 vaccines

- 34.9% Don't believe I need it

- 34.4% Don't trust the government

Congress ruled from 1947 - 2014 for all but about 10 years. I cannot measure the scale of corruption, but an objective assessment of Indian governance would certainly say, which Political party casts a dark shadow.

Again, my goal is not misdirection, if BJP/Modi did anything stupid they should face the music. To paint Rahul, his mommy as some innocent by standers of a hawkish regime makes me laugh.

Well, there's many possible answers. I'll give a few:

- Russia doesn't have "inches"

- The question has English terms like "hypotenuse"

- The Russian students were younger

- There were differences in conventions, e.g. which side is down. An altitude dropped onto the hypotenuse of a right triangle could be perpendicular, or either of the two other sides.

- And so on...

A few highlights from the technical article:

> Their pivotal discovery allows real-time control of information transfer between microwave photons and magnons.

> Wireless communications use microwave photons are elementary particles that form electromagnetic waves. Meanwhile, another concept called “magnons” can also carry information. Magnons are wave-like disturbances in an ordered array of microscopically aligned spins that occur in certain magnetic materials.

> Using a novel method involving energy-level tuning, the team was able to rapidly switch between magnonic and photonic states over a period shorter than the magnon or photon lifetimes. This period is a mere 10 to 100 nanoseconds.

> And it could result in a new generation of classical electronic and quantum signal devices that can be used in various applications such as signal switching, low-power computing and quantum networking.
Yes, depending if you're just fishing around or not, you can either test the limits with your statements or just tell them what you think they want to hear.

I have found it's practical to go on a fishing trip while employed and test the limits, less pressure.
Of course, this can backfire and did for me, but overall it was beneficial.

For example, if it's something like a high street bank, don't mess around, these are highly political institutions, similar can be said for large, established companies.

Thats literally the point of the court system. To strike down laws that infringe on our rights.

> Do you trust Nancy pelosi and Ted Cruz to write censorship rules you agree with?

Hey, at least if they write them, the courts can strike them down, if they infringe on our rights.

At least there is some check and balance there, where our court system, will strike down laws that infringe on our rights.

I'd rather have that then no court system being able to strike any of it down.

If you want to suggest that the court system should be able to strike down FB censorship rules, that would work as well though!

I believe pretty strongly in the "testing pyramid" - that you should have a broad base of unit tests,
with fewer integration tests and even fewer e2e tests. Source (also from Google):
https://testing.googleblog.com/2015/04/just-say-no-to-more-e...

I think good unit test coverage is essential for good maintenance, but you can't cover _everything_ with unit tests. You definitely need integration and e2e tests to ensure bigger picture correctness. I have found that value one gets out of the different kinds of tests as you proceed up the pyramid get higher the closer to release you are, and are most valuable post release. During development they become obsolete too quickly due to changes in how things work. But locking in an already-released version to avoid regressions is great.

Your headphones are probably sending a play command to your computer. There should be some software you can grab that captures that command and routes it to the application of your choosing, or disables it entirely.

Unfortunately it's not built in, but I think it's your headphones doing something nonstandard because my Sony XM4s and AirPods do not fire this behavior when I put them in.
