Note that despite a lot of anger toward him, I've read several of his books, and he goes to great lengths to state that he doesn't believe we should discriminate against people based on their race. I highly recommend reading his books rather than listening to commentary about them.

But no one says the car manufacturers are required to make a car where you can flash the ECU. There’s just no reason for them to block it. If someone came up with a way to steal your car by tricking your into running an app that flashed your ECU then you can bet Ford would disable it pretty quickly.
Really fascinating. Does this mean the world "view" is encoded into the DNA somehow and that then gets transformed into neural activity?
How could a few billion pairs of acids encode such a world?

What's even more fascinating is that emotions, behaviors, imagination and dreams must all be encoded and not learnt with just a billion-odd pairs / bits.

Meanwhile, it takes a few megabytes for us humans to encode a decent Hello World program in a modern programming environment.

Summary: the author is worried about Brotli compression (like existing gzip but 20% better) for HTTP protocol. Both Firefox and Chrome require HTTPS for Brotli; but Pale Moon authors disagree and enable Brotli even on plain HTTP connections.

Unfortunately, Cloudfare sides with Firefox and Chrome and does not offer Brotli on HTTP, citing old studies of proxies breaking when exposed to Brotli. They are also telling the author to go away in corporate-speak. The author, however, is unsatisfied and asks:

The Japanese automakers in particular seem to have been caught flat footed by the shift to EVs. Strange considering they were/are the leaders in hybrid technology.

Honda is partnering with GM to build their cars on their EV platform until they can come up with something on their own, and I am not sure what Toyota’s long-term plans are. And this makes me think they are not sure or are so woefully behind that they have to try and delay change as much has possible.
For junior coders, sure. As you become a senior engineer, your job is going trending to be more about design and communication, and less about coding.

This is true.

Back when I was still on Twitter, I remember folks in the office were having a game to see who had the most bots following them. I guess there was some online form that evaluated the people following you and determined if they were real or not.

I'm sure bots have gotten much better at avoiding detection, but it would be interesting to see if these programs could still ferret them out as real or fake. Likewise, to your point, it would be interesting if the users themselves could tell either.

I worked for a couple years in a coffeehouse that allowed illegal smoking after 9pm. I smoked. The owner smoked. Cops came in on their midnight break and smoked. You wouldn't have gone there, let alone worked there, if you didn't smoke. So tell me, why should that be illegal? So you can go there and everyone else has to go home?

Once the city cracked down on it, a few mothers with babies showed up for awhile to show that they really had always wanted to go there. Then it was empty and it went out of business. So why can't you stand the idea of a place existing where you wouldn't want to go, but other people might want to go? I don't go to orgies or to burning man, but I don't feel the need to shut them down.

>Algorithms are just laundering bad opinions like blood splatter analysis

You have way too much faith in the legal system. So many pseudo-scientific classes of evidence exist:

- Field sobriety tests

- Ballistic forensics

- Blood spatter analysis, as you mentioned

- Bite pattern analysis

- Burn / arson forensics

- Polygraph

- Biometrics under less-than-perfect conditions (your fingerprint reader on your phone works well because it's near perfect conditions. Crime scene partial finger prints are usually insufficient. Same for facial recognition -- works with your iPhone FaceID sensor, doesn't work with the gas station 480x320 camera)

- Most DNA and hair analysis

Pretty much all hocus pocus. Courts don't care. Anything for the conviction. Anyone hoping for fair scientific analysis in a court of law today is in for a rude awakening.
Ask HN: Simple Website Builder with Tutorial?
We are launching a service based business. My wife will develop the website but she has never done that before.

Are there any drag/drop tools for creating first website? The static website generator space is too crowded to make sense of anything.

I am going to spend money on domain name and hosting, but we want to keep development/maintenance in-house. What I expect is by the end of tutorial, we have full functioning website. If there are ways to select templates for design, that’s icing on the cake but not a must to have as long as we have functional website.

Please suggest.
Homotopy type theory is a mathematical foundation, like set theory, or Martin Lof's type theory. This is different from a proof assistant like Coq or Lean. In fact, Lean has a library which implements part of HoTT (see https://github.com/leanprover/lean2/blob/master/hott/hott.md). In short, there is no comparison between Lean and HoTT.

> It's easy to see the difference between a page printed at 300 dpi and one printed at 600 dpi

This depends entirely on viewer and viewing distance. 300 dpi should be roughly at the limit of what someone with 20/20 vision can distinguish from a distance of about a foot.

If you get a teenager with 20/15 vision and put them as close as their eyes can focus (say, 4 or 5 inches), they’ll be able to see a clear difference between these. But if you take an average person and look at the two images from a distance of a few feet, it will be all but impossible to tell the difference.
Yeah but unless you have a lot of foresight they’re not going to end up in a useful order.
Software updates actually occur for old hardware. Android almost never gets updates for anything older than a couple years.

Arguably Bluray and VHS were already winning in those instances? They'd be the EV to Hydrogen's example, though it's a bit of a strained metaphor.

I think it's rare for something without adoption to get taken up just because a larger player tries to use funds to force it to against the way the market is already going. I think Windows Phone is a pretty good example.

Hydrogen adoption had a lot of issues of which infrastructure was just (a big) one.
Not every company gives summer and winter breaks. These companies also have awful leave policies (on average less than 10 days for companies with breaks). None of them provide sick leave (you must use your standard leave for sick days).

Overtime, until very recently, went uncounted and was unpaid. So the statistics you quote are almost certainly very wrong.

Recently the government has been cracking down on overtime (and especially on unpaid overtime), and requires companies to track overtime. It's only considered excessive overtime if it's more than 45 hours extra hours a month, to give you an understanding of just how much people are working.

So the attacker uses the XSS to change the "Login" link to not send you to the secure page, but rather to do a History.pushState with the same URL as the "secure" page, mimics the secure page, and exfils the credentials.

The OP is on the other side of the airtight hatch already.

(This does require said login page to be on the same origin. But even if the attacker just ignores that, and otherwise mimics the page as closely as possible, would you notice? Heck, even if you moved it to just being in the same page without the URL change, as long as the branding was close enough, I bet most folks would go "uh, the UI changed again" not "uh oh! it's not on a secure subdomain!". Let's hope your password manager notices. But even then, I suspect that most of them would just not autofill, and a confused user would manually fill, wondering what happened.)

I don't know, it sounds like you've got a pretty myopic view of marketing if you think FB/PPC ads ('tactics that work') are what should drive strategy. Combine that with experience with PMMs who are too far removed from the customer (!) and I can see why you think product marketing is pointless.

From the other side of the B2B marketing fence, I see demand gen burning loads of cash on "high converting", highly "tested" ads that look great in reports, except that those leads never turn into customers, because the PPC marketers never track their revenue that far, and those lowest common denominator leads aren't a great fit for many B2B products anyway.

I suspect that if your argument is "Well, they should build the product that those leads want" I can see why (a) that view would indeed be unpopular, and (b) why you would be in conflict with product marketers who want leads that match the positioning, not positioning that matches the leads.

Nice. Similar to the Liteplacer.[1] That project seems to have stagnated, but the hardware still seems to be for sale as a kit. The software is still available.

The Liteplacer is unusual in that it doesn't use feeders. You just put the parts in little trays or tape down tapes of them, tell the software approximately where they are, and it locks on with its vision system and picks up the parts. This makes it useful for assembling prototypes.

Last site update in 2018, which isn't good.

One problem with the Liteplacer is that it comes as a kit, and you have to build a baseplate for it. They don't sell a baseplate with pre-drilled holes, which means getting precision alignment isn't easy. They should have had aluminum plates cut on a water jet to make a solid baseplate.

It was in this context for the first time that I saw how Rust was something other than an overly complex replacement for C. I've heard all sorts of things about how it's memory safe, but nobody ever explained why that was important.

So thanks for that. This marks the place where I acknowledge my mind was changed about the value of Rust.

[Update] Upon reading [1], I think that memory safety is still vital, but Rust has a very strange and cumbersome way of doing it.

Seconded! I am the sole contributor (or the main one) on most of the git repos I am working on--they are research prototypes and I'm a PhD student so it's mostly solo work. So, I'm the only person to "blame" when looking at a piece of code, but it is a useful command that lets me find the commit and the context for why I implemented an algorithm in a certain way after a few months.

Another example: I use the nightly Rust compiler as a library, which have unstable API. git-blame helped track down which commits change the APIs I use when I'm updating the compiler version my project depends on. git-bisect is the other useful part of git for this purpose.
