> This might have been covered in some part I skimmed over, but they never seemed to offer a mechanism for contaminated water in a drainage basin entering the local food supply via processed foods in a way that wouldn’t also impact a plant-based (e.g. potato-only) diet.

The higher the food chain you go - the higher amount of contaminants deposited.

One of the most famous examples of this is mercury levels is higher in large fish as the food chain is longer.

Can I now get a Spaceship "lounge" overlay for my flat in "AR"?
2GB would have been fine. I still remember a bunch of Fujitsu laptops that we got at work, all with the "Vista Ready" sticker and 512GB of ram - they were almost unusably slow, but XP ran absolutely fine with the same amount of ram. 2GB would have been a massive improvement.

Tesla used to be the biggest BEV manufacturer in Europe. But now in 2021 Tesla is number 3:

It's not as though the world's biggest car companies are going to forget how to make cars.
"Personalised results" should be something users turn on if they want to try it, not something they have to turn off.

User control is not Google's main priority. Money first. Defaults matter.

One of their current CEO's main projects before he became CEO was convincing vendors to pre-install a Google search bar. This is not something that can be "turned off". Most users do not change settings, let alone even know they exist.

Because of this reality, its defaults that really matter, not options. The defaults chosen define the intent of the company.
Only as long as it doesn’t hurt other people. When it does, it becomes just yet another hate-fueled crime.
I learned to drive the ride on lawn mower when I was 6. I was small and light enough that the dead man switch sometimes shut off the mower when I went over a bump. I learned to drive the farm truck when I was about 12. I literally looked through the steering wheel rather than over it. At that age, it was still a big scary machine that I treated with respect. By the time I could legally drive on public roads, I was quite comfortable and confident with handling a vehicle. I already knew what I could get away with and what I couldn't. I think there is a lot to be said for learning to drive before you are a stupid teenager.

Ask HN: Are resume achievements made up or real
It is advisable to mention your achievements in the resume to sell yourself better. I am wondering developers who list achievements like "improved website performance 2x" or "my frontend architecture lead to 3x productivity and fewer bugs", do developers really calculate these metrics or do they just made them up?

And has anyone had any experience where they were questioned by the interviewer about these matrices?

It’s hard to see why VR headsets with pass-through would win out over AR headsets (like the Hololens) in the long term for such uses. But I suppose if you need something right now, VR would be more available and cheaper.
Reminds me of the Saudis who in the 1970s flush with oil money had the idea to start growing grain in the desert. But an aquifer unlike rivers do not replenish on a human timescale...
1.2 x 10^6 liters or 1200 m^3. I am a european so the units are unfamiliar to me but I think the acre-foot is actually a decent unit to use for this sort of thing. When you're dealing with covering agricultural land (I guess measured in acres) with water you might want to know how many acres you can cover in a particular depth of water.
It’s not about the worldview, it’s about understanding what’s written and realizing it’s all bullshit. In this particular case it’s about a fake criterium, which was only invented after deciding “shellfish good, gays bad” to provide an excuse.
personalized results are the only reason i, and many others like me, use google. if ddg offered them, i would use ddg.
There is also grayness in the question "what is an individual organism?"

I’m guessing your alluding to duckduckgo’s recent announcement around private email addresses.

And if they didn't write that paragraph? It's Facebook, so you'd be suspicious anyways (and rightfully so).
It was only “deemed” as such afterwards, to provide an excuse for hating gays and not shellfish.
So in essence this is for the people who are in denial, right? Toggling the button doesn't effect what or how Google collects your data, only that you can't see it. "Yes I use Google, let Google collect my info, but under no circumstance do I want to see that info." Like what?

If you don't want Google scanning your emails, don't use Gmail. Don't want Google seeing all your queries, don't send them to Google in the first place. Use Duckduckgo or some other service.
Back in the days I developed a webmail interface and backend [1] for myself because GMail got unusable on Windows CE devices while they were still on the market in Germany.

Designing a website with WAP-level of HTML is quite a challenge, but it's possible.

And it works so well with 2G slow connections that you start to appreciate it when your "flatrate" is throttled again. If you try to use any website in the new web with 2G slow, you'll realize how broken most concepts are. Even the ordering pages of ISPs to confirm an email address for a new internet connection is built with 20MB of Angular for no reason. It's so absurd that you cannot order an internet connection without an internet connection.

How did we collectively get to this point of not giving a damn about anything?

There's still such a huge population of the world that hasn't fast access to internet [2] that I don't understand why we keep making things bloated if they're unnecessary by concept - and can even be replaced via pure HTML/CSS most of the time.

Yes, but in all fairness, slashdot, unlike reddit had a niche it was pursuing: "tech news". Granted there were meme posts during its heyday too (eg, micro$oft bad) but I think opposing opinions were given way more consideration than similar discussion garner on reddit (or even here, on HN) to this day.
AFAIK, AR headsets are still additive displays, ie. no way of displaying black. That’s the only advantage I see in using VR headsets for AR

I would have guessed this is for people who want to do a "neutral" search query without it being affected by where you are located or your past searches; I am not sure why you would jump to privacy? I guess the options feel a bit like privacy options, looking at it more carefully... but I would still see wanting to turn this off just to avoid ending up in situations where your history pollutes your screen (such as in demos).
Use the opportunity and link us to your game. I don't think anybody will mind.

The government guilt trips consumers because they are the ones who can change their behaviour immediately. You can stop watering your lawn but a farmer can't stop watering his crops.
But the reality is that consumers barely make a dent in water use. Hell you can even recycle/reuse the water used in a carwash for instance.
Science can research religion just fine, like any other ideology and organization. No reason studying Catholicism would be any different from studying Communism, or just one of remaining thousands of religions and their gods.

And it’s perfectly fair to call out someone who is pretending to be a scholar, despite being just a propaganda officer, trained to only repeat, never question.
There are phone apps that can read the barcode with the camera, I've tried them and they have a lot of info, like eye color and address.

I would think the reason people use DDG is because DDG does not "personalise" results. In other words, people choose DDG because DDG's defaults are in this respect unlike Google's.
Rather than resorting to ad hominem, could you point out where exactly Thompson was actually wrong?

Moreover, the criticism by Thompson and Torvalds refers to the use of C++ as a systems programming language. The language proved itself very efficient for application programming, including the browsers everybody is using.
Google records where you are and stores your every search result, and you are not sure how it relates to privacy.

AR has been in the consumer space a lot longer than VR. In fact I’m more surprised that AR had never taken off in a big way than I was about VR. Sure we’ve seen some games like Pokemon Go take advantage of it. But AR should have been a game changer.
One reason is that with hololens / magic leap you can’t create black. The display is like a ‘screen’ layer in photoshop and can only add additional light, so you can’t get great contrast and anything you add to the scene has a ghost-like quality.

All those demos you’ve seen of AR glasses making screens on a wall are faked. Magic leap paid a special effects house to make a lot of their ‘real’ demos.

Also - field of view. Magic leap has an AWFUL field of view.
I don’t follow. The leaks indicate Apple is planning a fully designed MBP. The schematics show a completely redesigned chassis and the removal of the touch bar. i’m not sure why the current M1 MBP is relevant here.

Should giving technical assistance to a sanctioned regime be treated as protected speech? Is that the right that was abridged here? If Virgil Griffith goes to trial, I imagine we will eventually see whether the Supreme Court considers what he did to be protected speech, or not. Personally, I don’t think they would even hear his case if he were to appeal on those grounds.

You write as if Congress has not weighed in on this matter, simply because it has not declared war on North Korea. In fact, current North Korean sanctions were codified and authorized by Congress in the North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act of 2016, which expanded upon the sanctions regime that had already been in place. Virgil Griffith’s alleged acts are not illegal because of a vague characterization of North Korea as being “hostile”, but because Congress explicitly made it illegal to travel to North Korea to give technical advice.
Feels like a test. I think it’s a solid bet Quest 3 will have better cameras!
Yeah, I guess. I wonder if there was a private way for DDG to implement that.
I'm fairly certain it's a political issue. There was some good stuff in the Beeching changes, the main flaw was the aim of trying to reduce the subsidies, while ignoring the subsidies being given to cars (which at that point were still pouring out lead into the atmosphere), which is fundamentally a (stupid) political decision.

Rural vs urban is a factor in things like this, but some countries just make a decision to have good trnsport (or health or internet) for everyone, and some countries decide that certain types of transport are for the poor and let them rot. Like many "that's just the way it is" arguments, it can be easily undermined by looking outside the specific country.

The UK seems to have done OK with broadband (at least compared with the US), though again politically motivated decisions in the past have hobbled early roll out of fibre-optic decades ago.

Note I just googled up that article, which seems fairly comprehensive, but I had engineers in the family who were involved and said pretty much the same thing at the time.

Two reasons: first, we know some religions do that, and we also know it can be got rid of and nothing bad happens. Second: because if your religion requires one to be a criminal, a civilized society will make sure it’s either fixed, or disappears.

> If the line between life and non-life is blurry, that means there isn't a clear place for souls to fit in

If "souls" aren't defined precisely enough that there's an experiment that give different results depending on whether they exist, then the statement "souls exist" is meaningless, and anyone saying it is not even wrong.

> This isn't a big deal for science, but it's a moral victory for atheists.

Theists won't care, although I suppose some will mutter something about separate magisteria.
Clearly they mean how this setting relates to privacy.
How ironic!
Don’t forget the security of a login screen that can be bypassed by pressing ‘esc’ and a passworded screensaver that can be closed by the task manager!

They (like many other brands) phased it out to avoid this situation, whether it was the case at the time of this anecdote is unclear.
Ken Thomson had no issues doing that when referring to Bjarne Stroustroup.

He is completely wrong, because his comments reveals a complete lack of understanding how ISO works, or worse, he does understand it and is doing a malicious comment to transmit his biased opinion.

Bjarne has the vote of one person, it doesn't matter how much he yells, screams, slashes the whip down the members back.

It is one single vote, and above all, unless he has some dark magic powers, he cannot multiply himself to attend all voting sessions.
Exactly - it still takes a programming mindset. In my experience watching people using Scratch et. al. When ppl start to acquire that mindset, the guardrails of visual programming turn into hurdles.
I think you're reasoning off incorrect premises: the starlink satellites are only relaying to relatively local base stations. In a sense, they're basically acting as a synthetic ionosphere to bounce signals off to reach base stations that wouldn't otherwise be line-of-sight, but which are still regional. And as such, they don't have nearly the same bandwidth limitations as more conventional satellites have.
I don't think NASA uses a different technique for developing definitions from other engineers or scientists.
Daily reminder that all the emission reduced by the complete "western" world (the rest doesn't care about the green move) in the last years was all reversed by the additional emission of a single Asian country (China) and this does not even include the grows in emissions in other fast growing places like India.

The whole green move is a lie. There is no evidence that any of that has any relevant positive effect. And no, "we tried" or "a little bit is better than nothing", is not a valid argument all the efforts combined effects are within the margin of error for our predictions so we dont even know if or how much it makes a different.

The only way forward that makes sense is the one humans always did - technological progress. fusion reactors for example. Imagine what we could have by now if all that effort (financial) would have been used to actually find better ways to do the things that cause the pollution rather than making people feel bad for doing what they have to do survive.

But instead our politics puts money into nonsensical "progress" like for example replacing a certain % or fuel with biofuel which is know to be energy-negative. It needs more energy to produce than it gives back (not true if made form waste biomass but true if its made from crops planted for this.)
Does disabling this setting put you in a "neutral" mode of Google or just hide the [Your flight to AMS] boxes it grabs from your Gmail?
GM didn’t really invest in Nikola though. If you see what actually was in the deal, original deal or modified, GM wasn’t directly giving money.
Nice pictures of cliffside irrigation sluiceways, but I was expecting to see an irrigation system that defies gravity by lifting water using a surprising method, perhaps a hydraulic ram based system.

Hydraulic rams are solely water powered devices that can lift water to a level higher than the level of the input water source. See [1] and [2].

There are fewer steps to setting up Airflow locally compared to Prefect. There seems to be encouragement with Prefect to use remote servers instead of running things locally.

Airflow has been around since late 2014 and has ~800 developers contribute to it. It's hard to search for an issue with Airflow without coming across something helpful. That sort of community support will take time to develop with Prefect. Prefect's server repo will be celebrating its first birthday on Monday.

Prefect looks to be a project of a few developers aiming to make a hosting business out of the offering. I'm not certain if their ecosystem of developers and experts will grow to the size of Airflow's in the near future.

Prefect has taken advantage of recent language additions in Python 3 and its source is a joy to read through. They use Black to ensure the code formatting is consistent. They've decoupled the server, web UI and their answer to DAGs into 3 code bases.

Prefect seems aimed at those that want a managed solution to their data pipelines. The need for skilled engineers for data engineering has exploded in recent years and a lot of businesses struggle to find the senior staff they need to do things right the first time. I suspect Prefect will find some success removing certain steps and complexity in building data pipeline from less senior engineers which should help more businesses become data-oriented.

Very few Airflow competitors did a good job at decoupling from any one task runner, metadata backend, etc.. and brought few features to the table that Airflow lacked. Prefect's UI looks fantastic, the code base is really tidy and if they could ever turn the install process into a simple 'pip install prefect' with no need for Docker, K8s, npm, font awesome tokens or any external communication I'd be very excited to dig deeper into the project.

When I did Customer Service at Blizzard EU many years ago they had a product with a catalogue of samples of different passports and identity documents which we could use to compare with the image we had received from someone claiming ownership of an account.

It was most amusing when the document you were trying to validate had the exact same person’s photograph as in the sample document.
Yes, you can make a fake account just for oculus. So?
It's a HN guideline not to accuse others of shilling without evidence. (It's such a common pattern that it makes for boring reading, among other reasons.)
Moreover, basically anyone who has been programming in C++ for more than a decade would have an opinion similar to Thompson, even without knowing the history of the language. Most programmers I know have chose a subset of the language with some features they feel the most reasonable/useful for them. C++ has so many features that taking over another codebase might actually feel like learning a new language. It is an actual problem, because in order to be efficient in a language you need to actively use it by writing code, and it's hardly possible to actively train in all aspects of C++ on a daily basis.
Agreed, I largely gave up trying to understand what the code is doing. The message really gets lost unless you already understand clojurescript's flavor of React.
Do you not risk being banned for being a fake account if the Facebook AI doesn’t think you’re social mediaing enough?
I do not know, I use scholar.google.com and most of the publications not accessible for free. It is impossible to ignore a publication if you do not have access to it, it is highly demotivating, like doing something that is already done.

Asking by email.. too many publications at the moment.
You are correct of course. I'm just really tired of seeing Google act like we have options when it comes to privacy.
As someone who has made a fair bit more in donations than OP just from building community tools for a reasonably popular mobile game (still peanuts compared to the time poured in though), I probably have a bit more anecdata to draw from.

In my experience, a not insignificant percentage of avid players of said mobile game active on Discord are also players of PC/console titles. These players may not represent the mobile game market at large, but they are overwhelmingly moderate to big spenders compared to the F2P crowd out there, so I’d say they are a good representation of a slice of the more valuable market segment. So, yes, there’s an overlap, and I imagine “Yerba Mate Tycoon”’s addressable PC market would be even more likely to play a comparable mobile game than the average AAA action/shooter/etc. market.
