I understand this perspective, but I take a different view on life. I don't worry about spending money. I have high leverage skills, so I focus on making more money. Life is more enjoyable to me when I can spend without care knowing I'm always increasing my skills, fulfillment, and by consequence earning potential.
Unfortunately, moderating content will always be an uphill battle. There will always be more racists than moderators, so we need to fundamentally reconsider how we use social media.

As far as I can tell, the best solution is federation. That way, you and the racists can live on separate digital islands, making it convenient for you to completely remove them from your sight. Does it fix real-life racism? No, but neither does online moderation today. Maybe instead of gawking at how these platforms are struggling to draw blood from a stone, our research money would better be spent psychoanalyzing the mentality behind this grassroots racism uprising that they've described.
Yes - in the same manner as game streaming.
It is an excellent amount especially if it is in bitcoins but, if they are found, they would practically sell them and pages like https://www.fxcess.com/platforms/mirrortrader/ would notice the actions or acts that these brokers are committing not I think it's a good idea at first, but hey, money is what moves the world.
I expect other programmers to learn and master tools they use 50 times per day. You should be getting more efficient, productive and make fewer mistakes with languages, frameworks and tools you use daily. If you prefer sourcetree, be it, but I expect you to use it efficiently and not make mistakes other people wouldn't do with git, zsh and ohmyzsh (which contains like 100s of handy shortcuts).

Governments and corporates function incredibly similarly.

Very interesting stuff. Regarding this part, are you saying that that the supernatural claims behind these rituals are real in some literal sense, or that they have psychological effects that might not be desirable?
Perhaps we should creat soulcoins which are a secure way of trading souls

"Believing" is more accurate than "knowing". There is no certainty that your skills today will be profitable in the future.
It's just a numbers game. The total number of people who consume porn is probably many orders of magnitude larger than the audience of your respectable software, so even if you're tapping into a very small niche of porn consumers, it can be enough to overtake your other software.
I don't know why you're being downvoted, you're right. There are plenty of TrustZone exploits that allow extraction of L1 keys.

Why Norway Won't Give Up on Oil and Gas
I think this is a fairly radical idea, beyond the role of the AMA etc. and only serves to drive massive political wedges in the population.

I suggest the vast, vast majority of the population is fine with the system the way it is, and that there isn't really evidence removing gender will help.

This gives further credence that many of our institutions have been radicalized.

If someone from the AMA were to have 'made a point' or hinted at a study, that would be find, but making such recommendations is beyond pale.

It's very telling that you're being downvoted for pointing out the obvious about the CCP's motivations.

Ask HN: Firefox is unable to resolve Gmail DNS?
I have recently noticed Firefox simply fails to resolve gmail.com (works fine in incognito and Chrome) and will start working again after couple of days. Anyone else facing the same issue ?
> The decisive difference is that China was reestablished as a people’s republic led by a communist party

The communist party doesn't lead.

Its political edicts are a complete mumbo jumbo. Tell me of a single sane person who can decipher any meaning from the phychomumbling of party heads on CCTV. Even CPC members themselves have barely any understanding what the hack their own party line is.

> which organizes the whole sphere of the economy to improve the overall standard of living.

The communist part did not organise anything, it literally been doing nothing except floating belly up on the water 20 years straight from 1990 to 2010, while Western money kept piling on them.

I will not deny that some state companies attained a level of commercial success, and that some select municipalities had moderately competent hired hands working for them. But this was hardly a result of any deliberate effort.

> China has eliminated absolute poverty whereas India is still struggling to provide basic food security.

You have to say it's Chinese people who eliminated the absolute poverty, and not the talking head only showing in a village for a few hours once a few weeks to deliver ideological sermons from a loudspeaker.

Saying the opposite would be an insult to ones intelligence when it's the party, and especially local party heads, which consistently keep rural people downtrodden.
1080p WEB-DLs are very common if you're in the right places, but even public trackers should have plenty. 4K is slightly less common but does also happen, with frequency depending on the streaming service.
I think even 60% efficiency would still be fine if the storage was cheap enough and scales well. Just build more solar cells or wind mills to compensate the inefficiency. Neither lithium-ion nor gravity based systems seem particularly scalable to me. So a good-enough system that’s scalable will be a winner in the long run I think.
It only uses the FZF's preview. The suggestions is completely empty. I tried to find an alternative as FZF has no way of disabling the selector window, but I was unable to find anything that was good enough for this.

I considered forking jid/jiq and using gojq as a library, but I ended up not going down that route because of reasons that I cannot remember. I also considered using a tui or something but FZF has so much already implemented and has a lot of it right, and I didn't particularly feel like re-inventing the wheel.
Music, Movies and the Metaverse
Yeah, it’s a complex system like economics. It often has to do with things like immigration and cultural fusion in influential neighbourhoods. Musicians or break out visual artists chasing an career and bringing their style to London or NYC.
I've never really looked long into these things, but now that most GPUs do the actual video decoding, how come it's still not possible to use Linux or any random OS? Isn't the GPU supposed to somehow guarantee that it only sends the decrypted stream to a compliant screen? Isn't this the point of HDCP?

When this was done in software, I understand that open source decoders could have been modified to pipe the clear stream to disk, but now the software basically just hands the encrypted blob to a "trusted" hardware decoder.

Or am I missing something?
>so at least it protects fullhd or 4k.

Not really. Popular streaming-exclusive shows often get 1080p versions released within a few hours, and the 2160p versions released within a few days.
> No one sane would inhale burning carcinogenic leaves to damage their own health, but people do - because they're encouraged to.

That's a bit naive. The carcinogenic leaves have mental effects, a buzz, pleasurable even before and despite addiction and carcinogenic qualities.

New phones have new features, speed and sizes / resolution.

None of these things are free of influence, peer pressure, advertising, and 'needing to feel in' the group. Sure. But to remove personal choice too strongly is a False way to look at the world. But this - this, call it systemic, way to look at the world - is popular and trending - ironically.
I have, thank you for the suggestion. It’s not bad. I was hopeful going into it, but it just doesn’t do it for me to the same degree SC2 did. Main reasons:

- Competitive games are a bit too long for me to watch.
- Random map mode is a bit too RNG in the start with boars and sheep (I’m actually okay with this, but my buddy gets frustrated with it. If he loses interest then we can’t do 2v2s.
- The base game mode (Random Map) is a bit too slow for me too. I’ve tried turbo mode, which is nice, but the economy/military doesn’t feel quite balanced. Empire wars is pretty nice, though. It’s basically a feudal age start.
- Visually, a lot of units look the same. It’s hard to tell apart strategies and technology levels at a glance. This impacts both the playing and the esports aspects for me.

Overall it’s still a good game. I have it installed and play AIs from time to time. I don’t try to ladder though.
>More people who aren't me have lethal weapons... fantastic!"

Nope. That's about the gist of it. I hate power asymmetry. Just like I hate info asymmetry, education asymmetry, etc...

More people armed and looking out for themselves means more people coming to terms with how unfriendly the world can be when we can't take things on trust.

Looking at and contemplating a firearm, and that you may need to use it someday, making the decision to end someone else's life to save your own is one of those experiences that more than anything else in my life taught me the value of the society I was raised in, people I could trust, and the fragility of the entire thing.

You never know what you have until it isn't there, and a firearm, amongst other utility, is a stark reminder of our duty as individuals to protect, maintain, and propagate our own version of civilization. This means we have to file off the edges of ourselves and our desires for the State we live in, and accept that there are some things we shouldn't ask anyone or anything else to do for us.

I've looked into the anthropology texts, and seen the differences in pain, suffering, corruption, and abuse of power that occur based on whether a civilization structures itself around a Guardian caste, or disseminates responsibility for self preservation amongst the group as a whole. Long story short: privileged Guardian classes lead to cyclic strife as the lessons and corruptions created by the power asymmetry create a need for a reset.

I don't pretend to know all the answers, but I know weapon ownership and the contemplation of a whole new dimension of responsibility made me a better person. I can only hope it does the same for others.
> To believe that there is some dictate about how a story is covered or why that comes from the top is to believe that we are way more organized than reality.

And yet exactly this happens[1].

The researchers are failing to disclose their financial relationship with e.g. Google while publishing papers about e.g. Google. This is a clear cut conflict of interest which should get them banned from publishing.
Who are these people and what is this blog?
Instagram and YouTube are two known sites for doing just that. You loan out your dignity when you become an influencer, and have it come back when everyone forgot about that chapter of your life.
No. Once Google revokes an old version of the CDM, the servers will refuse to issue a license for that version. The license basically contains encrypted keys for the content. If you already saved the decrypted keys for a specific content, you will be able to decrypt it even after the revocation, but you won't be able to get the keys for any new content with that version anymore.

We're not (yet) at the point where actual content keys are rotated frequently, because that sounds like a lot of effort though technologies exist for this already, they're just not in widespread use.

These "anecdotes" make my blood boil.
ADA is Federal Law. It provides no damages. No attorney fees. The USDOJ is the plaintiff. Fines are imposed.

California Law is different in that it is like other civil laws with damages and attorney fees.

Consequently, cases from California make attention commanding headlines. Elsewhere in the US, citizens must beseech the USDOJ to act on their behalf…it usually doesn’t.
Gender is an inexorable part of our identities, and almost everyone is completely fine with that.

The more interesting question is why do people think they need to turn social systems on their heads to suit their little ideologies?

I can definitely understand somehow wanting to help those who might have issues with gender, but these movements go far beyond that.
Valid argument for what?

Humans around the world are consuming food, heating/cooling themselves, all in the service of some gamified activity. Some of these activities are as useless as mining Bitcoin. Yes, these activities aren't burning through energy, but people are burning through energy, with the sole focus of doing the activity.

Any justification for these activities can most definitely be used to justify people wasting energy on mining Bitcoin.
This would most likely be based on public opinion surveys.

The 4473s and NICs checks are deliberately hamstrung. The ATF is not allowed to digitize these records, so they have to use paper and microfilm archives.

AFAIK Google docs is still accessible. See the “Additional details” at the bottom of https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2021/05/Google-Docs-...:

> One of the things the human brain does is project an honest picture of your self. ... It's not nice stories you tell about yourself, it's your honest bottom line appraisal.

That's quite counterintuitive: It seems extremely likely that for most people (including but not limited to your humble servant), their self-image is delusional to a greater or lesser extent.
I always met a ton of people. This is easier if you go to cities with big digital nomad/expat/erasmus communities. I used to research the social life of a city in advance by checking Facebook groups like "Digital Nomads Chiang Mai" or "Lisbon Expats" and meetups on meetup.com
If you want generic ideas for cities you can see http://nomadlist.com/ but you still need to research it. Depending on your continent the easiest places to start digital nomading are like Lisbon/Barcelona/Budapest/Chaing Mai/Bali/Medellin.
There is a ton more and you will discover them after talking with digital nomads about their previous trips.
Sunday mornings on Hacker News seem to have taken a turn for the dark side.
They haven't just made a safe space they have actively promoted extreme content of all types that drove engagement. Whether that was antisemitic or hoaxes or just misinformation hasn't really mattered, if it was profitable it got amplified.

It is a business model that seems to be doing a lot of harm to society and the news but it also exposes how little has really changed in the attitude of people around the world. Bigotry of all types is a lot more common than the news and TV especially has exposed us too. Social media allowed us to see reality.

I hate how much human effort is wasted in trying to change the attitudes of billions of people with various prejudices around the world, its a never ending drain of effort with minimal progress shown for it.

I am defining “relationship” more broadly to encompass all my human (and dog in my case) relationships.

That quote is right out of Herbert Marcuse's One-Dimensional Man (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-Dimensional_Man).

Marcuse argues that we only think we're choosing to pursue certain things (pop music, sex, cars, food, etc). Actually, society has been transformed by certain parties to push these "false desires" on us.

I think there's something creepy about telling people their desires are false. This is an example of what Isaiah Berlin called the abuse of positive liberty: telling people what they should rationally want, which amounts to a kind of paternalism.

I suspect you're right, this stuff isn't top-down. To the extent that taste-makers and corporate boards determine what we want (which I suppose they partially do), they are participating in the same economies as us and are acting for the same reasons as we are. There's no domination going on here as far as I can tell, though there are certainly undesirable outcomes (from my perspective).
Aspie? Want to Info-Dump?
Hey there, I am looking to see if there are any Aspies out there who may want to talk and info-dump about their (tech-based) special interests?
Well, mostly I just like the novelty. I have a Radius Rocket 33 (68040) and an OrangePC 290 (Cyrix 5x86) in my 7100/80. It's kinda fun to play with a classic Mac a PPC Mac and a classic PC all in one box. I finally got them to run DOOM II bots against each other.

The OrangePC 660 has an NVIDIA RIVA 128 on it, so I use it to play with old CAD/CAM software sometimes and it's kind of fun (similar to the 7100) to fire up some cross-platform games (e.g. Myth TFL/II, Quake 1/2, etc. and get the Mac side playing against the PC side).

At the end of the day it's all just technological novelty and esoteria, of course.
if you want to erase billions and stop the richness just remove the library, or better yet add a typo :D
I like GoAccess because the reports work well with lots or vhosts in the same logs, which many similar tools don’t. Allowing you to see which sites are busy, taking resource, have unusual patterns etc.
TikTok did, but none of the others except for maybe Alibaba made it. Tiktok is also popular outside of China with a product different from inside China (Douyin) that they acquired from another company after tiktok was released.
I like how these new commands are basically the same as the Subversion commands "svn switch" and "svn revert" ("git revert" obviously wasn't a possibility for this command as it was already taken).

Obviously Git and Subversion are different beasts but, if you only needed the functionality provided by Subversion, I always found the Subversion commands better named and easier to use. I'm glad that Git is slowly re-inventing these commands that Subversion had from the beginning.
Why is the issue thorny? I think for most people commonsense would prevail.
The population growth trend proves OP point.
While I agree that criticizing by-definition world-class athletes' athleticism isn't particularly becoming, I am little curious regarding the "anyone of us on HN" specifier. Is the implication that HNers are, in particular, less likely to be athletic enough to make those kind of judgements?

I've had a few interactions with some HNers that low-key demonstrate knowledge/experience that (in my opinion) probably puts them well above the general population average regarding athletics, and considering the size of the community, I wouldn't be surprised if there might be a few highly-competitive current or former athletes lurking around here.

Also, I realize that your original comment was most likely a little tongue-in-cheek, but it got me thinking about some of the people who I've seen pop up on here that have "don't you know who I am?" creds that are somewhat astonishing.
True, a lot of people uses git without knowing how to use it, mainly because they do everything with a GUI and never learned how it works, and if something strange happens that can't be solved with the GUI they just delete the repo and clone it again.

At that point I say to these people, why you even bother with git? Just use what I call ".zip versioning", that is archive the source code an call it "project-vX.Y.Z.zip" and put it on the company fileserver.

Or better learn how to use git, and that means learning the command line and throwing out every gui (well, not all of them, for example I do commit and push/pull with VSCode, but when I have to do serious stuff like merging stuff I do it with the command line). To my experience GUI always cause problems than corrupt the history of the repository.
Not particularly. I don't use a Mac, but I'd be happy to separate out the function into it's own script so it can be downloaded and put in your $PATH. I personally use zinit to manage individual files from random repos.
I think you are both agreeing -- He's saying that what's "bogus" is the idea that the market is perfectly efficient and there are no opportunities.

I did very well in elementary school, though by 4th or 5th grade I often asked to be seated near the front because of the “glare” on the black board. I did not realize I could not see until a science class about clouds, and I could not tell that the sky was overcast, not blue. I was also surprised to see that street lights were points, not large haloes.

I’ve heard many similar stories from nearsighted friends.
For now, at least. It is possible they fix all issues.
I don't think the governments are out of touch, I think that ESA in particular likes putting out self-congratulatory press releases that don't mention any competition.

BTW this is different from uploading new software to a satellite, that's been normal for decades.
So why did TikTok come out of China and not the US? Maybe it is because the monopoly of Facebook is too strong for alternatives to flourish.

Point is: Even-though American big tech’s dominance is an US advantage, the monopolies still come at a cost.
What are you doing that is making vscode crash? Can you reproduce it? I've never had that happen, and I am sure they would take a bug report.
Agreed. If there are norms around transparency of funding that are not being followed then that is a big problem.
