You're not even wrong.

Trump is not a "conservative", he's a Trumpist (America-first Liberal.) He happens to lead the Republican Party, but that's mostly a coincidence.

When you look at his policy decisions (vaccines, anti-CCP, border security, economic performance), he's the best US President in 75 years.

All Biden had to do was to continue Trump's executive orders and sleep even longer than he already does.
Find me a single historical pandemic that was finished through compulsory vaccination, lockdowns or quarantines. You might find epidemics where they were handled in a country this way, but I've never heard of a pandemic in the history of the world resolved this way.

The only pandemics I've ever heard of being resolved were through reservoir burnout, border closures or a disease becoming endemic as it appears this disease has.

Lol. Did you even read what you linked. The government hired mercenaries and they were brutally evil. That must’ve been because the government doesn’t have enough power.

Let’s just say Amazon and the government are both equally evil. You get to pick one to have more power. Are you going to pick the one who has given us the wonderful invention called the dmv, or the one who will let me order whatever I want and get it to me in a reasonable time at a reasonable price.
Amazon does a better job at serving the populace than the government does. They both act like rulers, but at least one gives you something worthwhile for it.

I remember seeing some machine learning algorithm posted here a while back that did an amazing job fingerprinting writing samples. It could use that fingerprint to match up accounts from multiple different sites. Some people here had it correctly find their Reddit profile based off nothing but their public HN data.

If you are writing extensively both anonymously and non-anonymously, you should probably assume that someone motivated enough could match the two together either presently or in the near future as such technology becomes more widespread.
I second this. I tried using Sorbet on a project with non-trivial logic, and it significantly degraded readability, and stuff that I would find "normal" to do in Ruby had unfortunate issues with typing. It's good, but nowhere near TS/JS, and that's just an unfortunate effect of fighting the syntax of the language. IMO they should've done a "soft fork" of the language like TS did, with special syntax for typing that compiled down to good ol' Ruby.
> Pre-Hole Hawg, I used to examine the drill selection in hardware stores with what I thought was a judicious eye, scorning the smaller low-end models and hefting the big expensive ones appreciatively, wishing I could afford one of them babies.

What exactly is relevant about a kingdom from the 14th century when it comes to banning IP addresses?

I don’t mean to sound flippant, but the suggestion of “if you only knew the entire history of this area/group, you’d understand…” smacks of smugness at best, and some sort of dog whistle at worst.

If you could kindly share what about the incredibly broad area of study you’ve suggested we all become experts on would be helpful here, I think many of us would appreciate it.

Otherwise the only piece of information I’ve cleaned from this post is “I have an opinion that’s informed by… something I’ve read. I decline to share neither the opinion or what information it’s based on.”
Actually, I think Tesla is using LFP now in some of their cars. They get them from CATL, if I remember correctly.

But I agree, if they have a factory making a certain kind of cell, then it makes sense for them to prefer to sell products that contain those cells.
> It’s well known inside and outside of technology that customer descriptions of their own behavior are often far out of step with reality

How do you get from "people may not be reliable witnesses of their own preferences" to "I know their preferences better"?

The first doesn't sound that improbable, but the second is a non sequitur, even if a popular one. If it's easy to lie to yourself, doesn't that suggest it's even easier to lie to yourself about what others think?

My previous comment suggested multiple reasons why people might not choose the chronological ordering even if they prefer it. Most people surely aren't aware of the trick, and using it limits the number of posts available. It's not clear that it shows all of them within a range either. I myself only use it about half the time, not because I don't want things in order, but because I have the sense that I'm missing something either way.

>I think people would find Facebook less engaging and fun to use if it didn’t tune what it showed them based on their perceived interests and their activity

I think an important point is that "engaging" is not at all the same thing as "fun to use". Meth is engaging, but in the long run, not that fun. The conflation of the two is useful for apologetics but not necessarily convincing to a lay individual.

>it wouldn’t be ideal to be put in a position to have to remove family members because their posts are boring

"Boring" sounds like a different sort of thing from "spam, porn, and shock videos". That kind of post does sound more plausible.

But Facebook provides controls to filter people if you want, and there is no reason that if they stopped choosing what you see that the user's controls would have to go away.

What is the rational argument that Facebook knows which family members of nearly 3 billion people are "boring", though?
Its true URLSearchParams is a proper blessed way of working with url parameters, but its just my tiny userscript working on a serialized JSON, so either I grep and be done with it, or be forced to actually parse it, traverse huge Object looking for 100 individual URL fields to modify "properly", and stringlify once again. Im good with regex thank you :)

>Transcend Consent Manager's API

what is that?

>request-override based approach

the idea is to modify those URLs before they get rendered on the page, this way they get applied :visited style in the first place.
I agree with this take. I work at Shopify using Sorbet and Rails. On a monolithic code base it can be very helpful to know what type is going to be returned.

On a smaller code base I may not bother with it for the reasons the original commenter mentioned.
Batteries carry their own oxidizer. You can only cool them down. I also wouldn't be surprised if Lithium reacted with CO2, I know Magnesium does.

From my understanding, with that option enabled HN will now show you all the comments (and submissions) that are marked [dead], which are not visible by unregistered users and users that do not have that option enabled. Comments are marked [dead] due to being flagged by too many users, or the user is shadowbanned, which I believe means their comments default [dead] unless vouched.

I may be mistaken here.
Not arguing against your point, I would like to add that the current treatment of Assange was a responsibility of multiple countries working together to take him down - US, Sweden, Ecuador and Australia.

The espionage act which got used against Daniel Hale is also what the US is using in Assange's case.

"Inspired" is also a highly subjective/pretty broad statement to make. You can have the idea for something while thinking about another thing and not be wrong to say it was inspired by that other thing. I don't see any point saying "you need to justify your assertion that you were inspired by Erlang when working on this project".
It kinda depends on whether I need to plot an escape from this desert island or I'm just taking a year off! In the latter case, Python and maybe C dev tools & libraries, and some good development books. I feel like I'd want to reserve half the space for data I'd like to process, mostly big social media/forum archives of various sorts.

If there's space, also a few games. I don't know what I'd do about reading material for relaxation, though, kinda depends on how long I'm gonna be there.
pentagon experimenting with setting large amounts of money on fire & staring into the blaze
I hear people talking about replacing peaker plants with batteries. Peaker plants are usually not at all remote, and could pose a threat to nearby buildings.
It is a problem in where that money is going and being spent on. If they are truly investing, no problem, but if they are "investing" into, for example, buying there own private islands to vacation on under the guise of business, lambos for company cars, or boosting stock prices they already own, they aren't helping or supporting the economy they are extracting wealth from. And it should be taxed just like if I personally bought an island or 50 pounds of gold jewellery or a supercar.

Just because a company buys and owns something doesn't automatically make it an investment that shouldn't be taxed as profit.

I haven't dug deep enough into it but the top comment on this Ask HN post:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28011353

> Tor Browser might help with mass data collection by businesses like Google, but it's the worst choice for threats by government or by others who have extra-legal powers: First, it signals that you are hiding something; it attracts attention: not everyone using Tor Browser is a dissident, but the proportion of dissidents among the Tor Browser population is much higher than among the Chrome and Safari populations. Second, it is based on a relatively insecure browser, Firefox, and then it is modified by a team that simply lacks the resources to design and implement proper security. Again, security is complex, expensive, and difficult. The obvious tactic for the attacker is to infect every Tor Browser visiting dissident resources.

> Seeing as how can very obvious to your ISP when you use Tor, I would take this advice with caution. I agree that you should download Tor Browser and get used to using it, but also think hard about whether it would be a problem if you were found to be using it, say from home.

So not sure how good the Tor advice is?
Laurie on Substack
As a user, no it’s not bullshit or diabolical, it’s a godsend. I’m glad they enforce it, saving me from handing out my email and a ton of other info to every random app I want to try for a while.

Only predatory devs would complain against this rule, and I won’t miss them.
Honestly erlang isn't really preemptive either, it just has a lot of hidden yield points. In earlier iterations (iirc) of the vm, the list length() function was very obnoxiously blocking and would not yield.

Erlang doesn't enforce message passing. You can use ets tables to coordinate processes (but don't).

A lot of pls claim erlang inspiration, e.g. pony, but miss some very important points and focus on "actors". Erlang isn't even really an actor system at heart, it just looks like it superficially. Actor systems at their core are message and coordination focused; when you write an erlang or elixir program you are typically minimizing the message passing because it is imperformant and hard to reason about. The raison d'etre of erlang processes is not really message passing concurrency, it's failure domain definition and failure domain bundling (if x crashes also crash y, because now the state of y can't be trusted).

Well, they literally sit in pundit chairs in major “progressive” media outlets nowadays, and they were absolutely celebrated by those same people for their work continually running ops on Trump.

I find it incredible that anyone could have such a cartoonish view of the world that the completely secretive, unaccountable and independent security apparatus, which has totally liberated itself from democratic control or oversight, is simply "the government" in a way undifferentiated from say, the post office.

What is especially galling about it is that the entire monstrosity was constituted specifically in order to maintain the structures of private power and profit and has never deviated from that goal. The entire murder machine exists to benefit the corporate power that you absurdly imagine as some kind of countervailing force.

How do you account for the fact that military and CIA involvement overseas is systematically in the service of imposing minimal-government orthodoxy, from Chile 1973 to the Contras, Grenada, Iraq, Cuba, etc?

If properly done, that approach would most likely generate a model that works really well and detects COVID for the right reasons. Put it out in the wild and it breaks down again because all radiologist would have to use the exact same method of scanning patients. Practice shows that scan parameters, position, annotations vastly differ across hospital, scanner and radiologist.

A client of mine wanted me to look into this dataset and help creating a model for detecting COVID. One of the doctors they where working with wanted to be able to submit pictures they took (from their point and shoot camera) of the CT scan. Good luck putting that variation in your dataset.

It's not a rebuke of grid-scale batteries, it's a rebuke of Tesla's implementation of it, or perhaps the design of the site if it wasn't planned out by Tesla engineers. One would expect that the batteries should be better isolated from each other to some degree so you don't get a chain reaction, and there to be automatic fire suppression (plain water, probably) on site and ready to go.

It's not clear from the article what exactly went wrong, but it looks like they probably lost at least one shipping-container-sized battery pack.

According to Microsoft there's about 1.5 billion Windows users, about half a percent are still on XP. So that'd be about 7-8 million XP users. Say a third are potential Firefox users, that'd be a drop in the bucket in this statistic. And for the sake of the market share on other platforms it's probably a good idea that they're not investing resources in XP.
