the problem with soccer is that good ideas to improve the game (e.g. make the time stop like in Basketball: Always when the ball is in play the clock ticks, when the ball is outside stop the clock. This would mean less players on the ground running out the clock with fake injuries) are not implemented due to how the leagues are organized (UEFA/FIFA etc.). Whereas in the NBA every year they change the rules, e.g. the best rule change came a couple years ago where they put the shot clock reset of an offensive rebound to 14 seconds instead of 24 seconds - faster gameplay. Everyone wins.

Would also love different overtime ideas played out in soccer, e.g. put players out of the game. When it's 8 vs 8 maybe that leads to more goals in overtime or something... also, there was a time/place where penalties were shot differently (with running with the ball like in hockey), so there exist opportunities to change but as far as I see it there's an unwillingness.
Legality aside – how is this not a privacy risk?
Privileged users of the infrastructure can gain information about users (whether they possess CSAM that's in the hash-database... for now).
I seem to be burning my Karma on this thread, but what the heck. One more question for the group.

Can anyone name a communist country that did not devolve into (or begin as) a dictatorship? In the history of the world, has there ever been a truly communist government?

I believe the answer is no, and that none will ever emerge because of human nature.
I lived in several cites in eastern Ukraine (Kharkiv, Sumy, Donetsk, Luhansk, Gorlovka, others) and I think the absolute cheapest apartment I lived in was a 1br in a bad part of Makeevka which was one of the cheaper towns I lived in, and that was $140 a month in 2007. Never saw prices that low again after 2008.

I'm curious if rent prices have gone down since I lived there, or maybe I was just getting a foreigner tax? I didn't look at kommunalkas which could definitely be done for less than $140.
“There are people who went through AA, recovered from their alcohol addiction, and are able to drink moderately.”

There are also people who have survived skydives without a parachute. This article seems like some kind of self-justification for returning to destructive behavior. I imagine their codependent somewhere rolling their eyes again at this mental gymnastics routine. Here we go again….
I'd love to see a linkedin scraper tool that 'visualizes' where the engineers go who originally worked on a product.

Sources? I could be argued that due to "hedonic" improvements CPI understates inflation (viz, the entry level Apple laptop today costs about as much as the entry level Apple laptop 20 years ago, but is vastly better).
Sad stories about Google always cheer me up. Thanks
The subjects of the above anecdotes were civilians.

Feynman's story of how he didn't get drafted is pretty well known.

He also tells some stories about how clueless the military was, because they had no concept of nuclear physics at that time, which would be expected.

Like, they didn't realize neutrons that go through water are much more dangerous.
That's why you don't use YouTube and instead use a decentralized platform.
Although "biggest insult" is over the top, its part of a pattern of Microsoft providing annoying "help" that makes their software distracting and harder to use, and in aggregate really does insult the user.

Opening documents in some weird "reading mode", popping up that I can pick up where I left off every time I open a PowerPoint, adding captions to my photos I add to documents (and sending my confidential data to their servers so their ML can tell me that a chart I added is a picture of a chart), "looks like you're trying to write a resume", I'll denote my three points (a), (b), and ©, how would you rate our product, etc etc.

Some people may want this stuff, I want my computer to leave me alone and let me work. MS has a pattern of disrespect to the user that overall I agree is insulting.

I was hoping to find something like "5cm", but it looks like "g" is all they offer.
Because the CO2 goes back to the atmosphere.
I can't say this view has it entirely backwards because part of the phenomenon is due to the strengths of the web today and of Electron. But the 'backward' part of the argument is that native Apple software could, but no longer does, provide its own strengths to counter the web and Electron.

I love (old) Mac software and I hate Electron software yet if I sat down to create a commercial app today, I'd use Electron. Here's why:

- I don't feel the Mac's UX is great these days. If my app doesn't benefit from a consistent and elegant GUI, I might as well do it with web tech.

- I can't keep up with Xcode and the OS changing constantly. There was a time when you'd get a couple years between OS upgrades, when Apple's documentation wasn't (entirely) useless

- Desktop software on the Mac involves so much complexity today (eg: sandboxing, certificates, iCloud, icon formats and sizes, etc) that I don't want to deal with it

The Apple ecosystem doesn't offer enough advantages for me anymore to warrant the effort.
The atmosphere is like a leaky boat. Oxygen leaks out when rocks are eroded and weathered and when volcanoes release reduced gases, and burial of photosynthesized material pumps it back in. The troubling part is that there's no obvious reason why these two processes have to be balanced over periods much longer than the time constant of the system.
Why pitch your app as "native" to a tech-savvy crowd then when it's actually not?
Nope, OP didn't say SARS-2 was caused by anti-vax sentiment, they said it became endemic because of it. Words matter.
To help fight back against false positives, why not just repeatedly trigger the code that sends the data to NCMEC (per the article's claimed legal requirements) and create a DoS attack?
Would be interesting to compare a price return index with a total return index (ie including dividends) for Japan over the last half century.
Hacker News isn't just "for hackers" and hasn't been for a very long time. I think you're very aware of that fact.

Obviously it wasn't me that posted the article. GP asked "Why should I...?" In some sense I was agreeing with them: they're not the intended user. I pointed out why we offer it to some clients (and a big factor that I didn't mention is so this kind of bespoke work doesn't become a timesink and a distraction for our engineering teams, who are building more strategic comments and services).

So maybe save your cheap trolling comments for reddit where they'll be more appreciated.
Probably because Apple wants to stay away from any suspicions that they sometimes actually use their keys to access private information.
Mine seems to use a different one each year :-/
These are not “claims.” The process by which they get access to only the safety vouchers for images matching CSAM is private set intersection and comes with a cryptographic proof.

In no step of the proposal does Apple access the images you store in iCloud. All access is through the associated data in the safety voucher. This design allows Apple to switch iCloud storage to end to end encrypted with no protocol changes.
It’s interesting that even a system programming language like rust is actually not faster than java if not written / implemented correctly. People always thought that when they needed to go faster they go for c++/rust. I guess advance knowledge in one programming language is better than switching to another one in the case where you need to make your app faster

Also isn’t this similar to this study?

> freshly prepared frozen pizza

Not to be pedantic, but that is an oxymoron. A pizza can either be freshly prepared or prepared beforehand and frozen in. I think the distinction is important because whilst fresh pizzas are reasonably healthy, deep freeze pizzas are chock full of preservatives and thus aren’t.
Because I can.

Hacker News facilitates me opening scores of tabs a day, that and not being able to find the tab I need means duplicating it; although the browser now serves me up with the original one.

I tend to open a new window for a new line of work, so the tabs are over 40 or so windows.

The limit used to be the bowser crashing, or me forgetting to reopen history and so relinquishing the interesting things.

My point is that I’d greatly appreciate keeping this down.
I’m currently down to 800 or so, I think the tab history tool crashes Firefox, without it it could go a lot higher.

ADHD can creep up on you
Value is still shifting somewhere. Lower rates can force you to borrow more total value to outbid your peers, allowing the bank to extract the same or more value out of you. Same with taxes entering the equation.

I don't reckon any monetary distortions benefit the common people. Society benefits from money being a reflection of labor as much as possible. Everything else is extraction of value.
I'm very tempted to introduce tortured phrases at work for occasional humor. For example, who needs "continuous integration" when you have "ceaseless incorporation"? Sometimes it's nice to see if anyone reads my notes.

In all seriousness though, I've experienced something similar before at a Japanese run American corporation as far back as the 90's. The problem was Japanese executives and executive assistants who didn't know American tech-jargon often resulted in accepting mangled suggestions by the spell-checker. A notorious example was the "Data Whorehousing" presentation, which somehow made it through several reviews and rehearsals before being presented to the entire American IT department at an all-hands meeting.

Clearly this made an impact as I remember it 23(ish) years later!

Why do you expect people to understand what you are talking about?
They can actually afford building several versions: one for revular joe user, and one highly customisable power users. They can even allow (gasp) plugins!

I mean, Winamp had skins and plugins more than 20 years ago. Surely it isn't some hopelessly lost skill, like making the roman concrete or the greek fire?!
Probably as a tourist it is different? I live in Germany and you can get an antigen test for free per day. They are valid for 24 hours, so it costs 0€ To get tested for any event.
Lichess has an API endpoint for their cached analysis, so they could have easily automated at least some of the new tree.

Or they could have inserted a couple of `if` statements into Stockfish, recompiled, and simply analyzed the root position.

Even calling this a "paper" is a stretch. I'm usually against twitter post threads as content but that seems about the level of analysis that's actually present here.
I really appreciate your comments on this site, this comment and all the other ones that I've seen over the years, because you give a much needed reality check and are articulate and honest.

I do think though, that it is a contradiction to say that. Avoiding nightmares is exactly about avoiding bad feelings. Other people might end up doing it earlier in the day if they don't have anything around them.

> I hate this idea that addiction is someone just getting high so they don't have to feel bad feelings

That's exactly what addiction is. Getting high is just fun.

EDIT: There is a sibling comment.
I know about how UK car registration numbers work, i just couldn’t figure why GP was infuriated by this vanity one. So I guess it’s just the confusion that they chose a vanity plate that happens to have two digits in the year position that would normally imply the vehicle is ~20 years old. Hmm
They dominate at a very large team sport. If you take out rugby I think the numbers will be quite bad.

> law degrees are doctorates

Law degrees are called Juris Doctor but are professional degrees, like MBAs. You aren't required to publish original research (afaik) and in the US they were formerly Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) and then renamed (as I understand it).

The doctorate is Doctor of Juridical Science (J.S.D.). You can also get a Master of Law (LL.M.).
> why Apple needs to do this on device

Presumably to implement E2E encryption, while at the same time helping the NCMEC to push for legislation to make it illegal to offer E2E encryption without this backdoor.

Apple users would be slightly better off than the status quo, but worse off than if Apple simply implemented real E2E without backdoors, and everyone else's privacy will be impacted by the backdoors that the NCMEC will likely push.
The operator module is not something most python developers will ever need. It's a collection of very low-level tools that will rarely, if ever, be the right choice in a small code snippet. Can we even talk about the existence of these functions in an easy-to-read blog post, if the only 'right way' to use them is a full-blown DSL parser or whatever? Or, can we trust the reader to not run home and refactor their arithmetic to

#this used to be y = 2 * x + 1 until I read a sweet blog
y = operator.add(1, operator.mul(2, x))

I really don't see any danger of that, myself.
> Masters degrees are cash cows, which is why no one in unregulated industries cares about them. People in regulated/unionized industries also don't actually care; even educators, who at least nominally see intrinsic value in education, go to borderline diploma mills to get that union-mandated raise at minimal effort.

I don't mean this rudely, but it is attitudes like this which cause the CS interviewing process to be 100X more painful than the interviewing process in any other field: "I don't trust your credential so I demand you prove your competence to me on the spot and let's do 5 rounds of interviews just to be sure."
There are a lot of articles about Apples hadh algorithm and for me they are mostly irrelevant to the main problem.

The main problem is that Apple has backdoored my device.

More types of bad images or other files will be scanned since now apple does not have plausible deniablity to defend any of ghe government’x requests.

In the future a false? positive that happened? to be of a political file that crept in the list can pin point people to the future dictator wannabe.

It’s always about the children or terrorism.

> As an end user, I view a bank as a box to keep my money so I don't have to deal with cash. That's really it.

I personally like features such as savings accounts (which require a treasury department), a brokerage, lending, mortgages, wire transfers, detection of fraud, and so-on

a bank does far more than provide a safe place for your cash to sit
This very fact actually inspired the name of the project.
Now that you mention it, that would a fantastic idea; create an extension that exposes some sort of API that the browser can tap into to load suggested credentials for the current domain.
I write papers too and hate finding a new way to say "my X is a Y that does Z". Especially if it is your tenth paper on the topic and you should even sound like the previous nine times.

But about three sentences into the introduction (where you explain all the background) you start going into "there is also Y's that do Z backwards". Which Y's you compare and connect with is important and says alot about how you think about your X. It might even be a new way of looking at it. So telling other people how you think of it can be important.

And another 5 sentences in you start referencing previous work on the topic. At this point you are crediting other and you get to chose whom to credit how much, with the benefit of hindsight. You refer to papers that are useful to people new in the study of capital letters. What you write here helps them much more than a mere list of papers or a google (well google scholar or ADS or pubmed or what ever) result list, because you can provide a good order to read them or which aspect of X's are best explained where. You also name papers that might be useful to practitioners in the field because they have a particular technique or a good explanation of it.

So it is very much worth while of providing the background that others expect at the beginning of your paper. Even if it requires rewriting that first paragraph several times.
We should have a mix of both, so people can get what they want. I think that's what's happening.
Few beers in. Is this MS putting ads into browser directly ? EDIT: Is this also means MS is analysing and process all your browser history / page visits ?
China's Influence and American Interests: Promoting Constructive Vigilance
To the exact questions you asked, the answer is mu because of <https://www.w3.org/TR/uri-clarification/>.

Correcting for the intention: yes, books are easy to identify! <https://www.iana.org/assignments/urn-formal/isbn> You also want to able to dereference. I edited my DOM copy of your comment to add the hyperlink <a href="urn:isbn:9780062515872"> to the book's name, then clicked it. Firefox prompted me to pick a local executable. ISTR Netscape used to handle this a bit more gracefully. It is perfectly okay that not every UA implements every conceivable scheme, the particularities of the failure do not diminish the idea of the Web.

I happen to know archivists and librarians. They use specialised information systems that are not part of the Web. There does not seem to be an urgent need to uplift the legacy.

IMO the grade is not "no", but "the foundations are there ready to be built upon".

Used to be a coin toss but penalty kicks are nicer to watch. But yes penalties are a completely different game. That's completely assumed however. You can't really expect player to keep going after 120 minutes and you need a way to decide which team goes through.
This is exactly what I'm doing right now with SNES emulators, bsnes-plus specifically. The idea is to be able to extend certain games and give wasm module the ability to read/write the emulated memory and send/receive messages over a network connection to another process, among other things.

I think most consumers expect most things to be commercial experiences controlled by someone else.

Some like it; some don't; few believe they have a choice to be anything other than a consumer.
You are correct — most of the iCloud data is not end-to-end encrypted. Apple discusses which data is end-to-end encrypted at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303
Most of the time it's for inner achievements for the product manager or designers part.

Another is they just changing their ui/ux lead and they have different views.

It can also redesigned to match style updates, useful for fashion, travel or wedding sites.

Sometimes the menu increases that a list of buttons can't accommodate anymore so it's changed to it's own page or drop-down.

Sometimes they want people to be confused and ask the changes in more general forums, generating free publications.
Sorry, I replied to the wrong thread. The example use of Open Source in that NT thread above is actually rather convincing. Seems like it existed for a while just wasn't in common use. Indeed '98 as the inception date seems a bit late to me.

Runtime efficiency is just one consideration to be balanced against others. Maybe you would have an easier time getting a job if you would accept the new stuff and be willing to compromise on runtime efficiency so your team could crank out more features and more quickly meet its business goals. Note: the issue isn't your individual productivity; being willing to go along with the pack has its own advantages.
It's definitely better than doing nothing, but an hypothetical company doing business as usual and then buying the necessary carbons offsets from permanent carbon sequestration projects would be better for the atmosphere.

Of course, the ideal scenario would be a company that does both things (reduce + offset).
> you must understand there are tradeoffs and conditions

Understanding the situation is one thing; acquiescing to it, participating, and not trying to change it are another.
How this "comparison" could miss the elephants in the room?

Java is mentioned, but not the JVM, or .NET (core)?

Therefore this reads once again like an ad…

But that actually fits a scheme: Most things one can read currently about WASM are highly over-promising this technology. It's nowhere close to the established VM Runtimes until now!

Does WASM really need dishonest marketing posts so badly?

Who is actually throwing money after that marketing efforts? Who doesn't like the JVM anymore, and isn't using .NET either?
> The good old days of really good, dedicated mac software studios are over.

Considering that companies like Unity were in the same boat, I'm a bit hesitant to point the finger squarely at Apple without considering the decisions these companies made for themselves.

Decisions such as making a 99 cent one-time purchase app and still expecting to succeed as a business.
Cool, how about some specific references to settled cases that are relevant to the situation rather than vague references to law books?

Back in the day, I remember how Tipper Gore was all about warning us of the dangers of explicit lyrics and videos and she wasn't a conservative or have I lost track of who's on which team?

Disliking what became of one political party because of the embrace of a demagogue does not necessarily make one a strong adherent of the other leading brand or is that too nuanced for you?

I support the rights of social media sites to moderate content as they see fit and I support the rights of their customers to take their business elsewhere if they don't like how it's run. I won't be going into Hobby Lobby anytime soon nor will I be going to Carl's Jr, but I'm also not going to tell them how to run their businesses. I think that's where we really differ here. Facebook and Twitter will ultimately fall to superior successors that catch the zeitgeist just like they did. But not on any of our schedules.
The trivial non-tracking implementation would be for edge to install the entire database of products and prices to your local device.

Whether that is practical or not depends on just how large the database is. But even if the database were to be too large, it'd still allow us to reduce the question to one of how to download the database incrementally to the device without leaking information, which is a solved problem. (E.g.the Safe Browsing algorithm.)
It's down just for a few days now during server upgrades, give it a couple more days, please. ;-)
It's not just how much stuff is consumed. Different materials break into different size and shape particles. Tires may wear out slower but the particles they release may cause more damage.
Common Lisp implementations typically aren't image based systems, although one can dump images. Code is in files, which are loaded. The typical workflow involves modifying files, compiling/loading the changed files and their dependencies (using asdf), and running tests. Nothing persistent is in the image.
GNOME Web is worth considering, if you're using GNOME. It's now a very competent simple browser, similar to Safari on Mac OS a few years ago.
