For stuff like breakfast it just takes some practice getting the timing right for multitasking. Making eggs and toast is like a full sixty seconds of actual hands on time. You just space it out between heating the pan, cracking the egg and later flipping it onto a plate, and waiting for the toast, and you can totally get other things done in those gaps. Stuff like lunches you can prep in advance, there are tons of recipes these days for quick easy bulk cheap good food.
Sadly, Shodan does not appear to index these, seemingly because it attempts an HTTP connection, while the router expects an HTTPS connection.

I think a lot of sites are conflating cookie consent and GDPR consent. You only need GDPR consent when processing personal data, so you don’t need consent just for storing settings in a cookie (as long as those settings do not contain personal data or identifiers linked to personal data). But many sites will ask “GDPR consent” or claim “GDPR legitimate interest” for those settings cookies in any case (in my view that’s a dark pattern in itself because you’re actually making the side harder or impossible to use and thereby inducing visitors to just click the big green “accept all” button to get it over with already…)

We were working on an edition of News from Nowhere for Standard Ebooks, which unfortunately never saw completion. But in the process we found scans of Morris's own first edition, which is truly an artifact of beauty: https://archive.org/details/Newsfromnowhere00MorrA/page/6/mo...

Yes informational efficiencies for transportation at scale could easily be $80 billion worth of value to the world. The real question is whether Uber can capture that amount of value. And whether competition will drive the margins to zero anyways.
Thank you!

In regards to the vendor solutions you mentioned. While those are all strong solutions as a stand alone product, they must be bought separately and integrated together to gain the maximum value out of end to end threat detection and response.

Splunk as a standalone analytics problem still requires engineering talent to increase the efficacy of detection of malicious activity, and then you have to purchase Phantom (SOAR) separately at an expensive cost to benefit from automated incident remediation workflows. This leads to lengthy implementation cycles, and post sales management that can rival the license cost itself. Also there is the component of human error when it comes to creating the detection logic and response logic necessary with consultants doing the work on the behalf of the customer.

We actually have MSPs and MSSPs leveraging our platform to deliver security services for their customers. We take the Managed Security Service component off of their plate, and they hire only security analyst to drive their monitoring and response as a service. Some customers will want a full suite of services that could be out of our scope, but if a customer is looking to gain insights and a simple to operate security operations platform then ContraForce would be a great fit! Lastly, the cost typically associated per User/month for MSSPs are quite expensive. This makes it a costly check-box for many companies and they have to hope that the MSSP has amazing engineering talent to not miss malicious activity in their environment.
Wow, shit. Parsec increased their prices after they stopped providing their gaming service.

I think it's worse than that. I think the core problem is that the world is a messy complicated place and any time you take a simple, straightforward set of rules and require strict obedience to them in the real world, you're going to end up with situations that produce absurd results.

It's like trying to fit a finite-term polynomial to a fractal - there's literally no way to make things match up everywhere. [1]

People complain because law/finance/whatever seem to be too complicated, so they try simpler, more "obviously correct" sets of rules that perform even worse in practice than what we already had because the world is still a fractal, and simpler rules just mean you're trying to use fewer points to fit that infinitely complicated curve. It's easy to look at existing law/finance/whatever from the outside and say "it's too complicated, we should refactor everything from first principles" but there's good reason to believe that is always a mistake [2].

Simple, obvious rules like "Transactions should be immutable once they are completed" seem like a good idea, but then they encounter incredibly common real world situations like "what if somebody made a mistake when they specified the amount of the transaction or the account number in the 'to' field?" Real world finance has ways to handle this - if nothing else, you can take it to court and ask a judge "does this seem reasonable?". "Code-is-law", like Procrustes "perfect bed", only has admonitions to be completely perfect yourself or suffer the consequences.

So IMO it's not just that most code is not well written, it's that the very idea that any finite amount of code, no matter how "perfect", can be a good fit for all the intricate needs of the actual lives of billions of people is fundamentally flawed.

And also, most of the code is not very well written :)

[1] as an alternate analogy, it's like trying to fix Godelian incompleteness in a formal system by adding a finite number of axioms.

Manhattan is a car free neighbourhood in the sense that as a resident you don't need a car. This is an apartment complex with couple of shops.
Medallions had value in that they were seemingly protected by the municipality that issued it. Prior to Uber, a medallion was an asset that appreciated in value.
I believe it and can you show the numbers?
Interestingly, Penicillum rubens is not yet the Illinois state microbe.
> I don't think demand would go down because prices are increased.

I disagree. Of course demand will go down as prices go up. It's quite literally the most basic principle of economics. Uber is not like a life saving pharmaceutical that people will pay any amount for - that is, an inelastic service. Consumers will absolutely avoid a service because it costs too much. Uber is no different. While people may still take Ubers, they'll take them less often. So Uber will still have reduced revenue.

> I couldn't convince the driver to give me a flat rate or quote to my destination

I'm from NYC, so granted our taxi fleet was well established well before Uber. One law established is a fixed cost to and from airports for cabs. Certainly this can be be replicated but yes, it's not something that can be immediately addressed and so Uber wins in this space (an upfront price).

To respond to your general message, yes, Uber is excellent in certain circumstances. This is one of them. Though I've also seen the reverse when traveling. Hoards of people waiting for an Uber, and plenty of taxis around.

As it currently stands, with prices going up, drivers' compensation going down, and Uber burning money, it's not likely sustainable. So Uber's future is at risk regardless of anyone's individual consumption
They cannot publicly fight FISA court gag orders. They can't even so much as mention those.

While I agree with you to some extent, niche subreddits are still subject to Reddit's overall content moderation and policies - which are ultimately based on politics (left-biased). This can range from shadowbans on linking to certain domains to bans on certain viewpoints that apply sitewide to affecting the kind of humor that is allowable to whatever else. Yes those niche communities are less toxic than the giant subreddits, but it still feels like a sort of artificial, inauthentic experience to some extent because you can only be the online person that nearly fits within the overton window of what is deemed acceptable by Reddit's admins and leadership. Others aren't welcome, or if they are there, they can't truly express themselves or be authentic.

This trend of niche forums becoming politically biased isn't limited to Reddit either. For example, much has been written from both the left and the right about how Ravelry, a knitting community, chose a hard-left political bias during the Trump administration (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/24/style/ravelry-knitting-ba...). When that sort of change happens, a whole lot of people cannot engage in that niche community because it feels like a hostile place to participate, even if the typical piece of content is apolitical.
> So perhaps don’t jump to conclusions, especially when you’re doing it to impugn other people. It’s a bad look.

I 100% don't doubt that there are individual people here that have irrational feelings about Google for reasons other than the one I mentioned, or that have rational-but-uncharitable feelings about them. I'm not even particularly bothered by the target: Google in 2021 has a mountain of things to answer for that I think it deserves very harsh criticism for.

But the collective IQ of HN drops about 30 points whenever they come up, far beyond the level of the general anti-big-tech attitude you generally see here. The amount of circular reasoning and comments that don't stand up to a second's scrutiny is palpably higher than in the average HN thread, and over the last almost-decade of observing this fascinating dynamic, the one constant I've noticed has been a deep and abiding bitterness. Contrast this with, say, Facebook: while they get plenty of HN hate, it's of the same type that you find anywhere, and lacks a lot of the pitiful contortions you find HNers squeezing themselves into on the topic of Google.
What are your pain points, exactly?
I noticed things started going sideways around the time Google+ was launched. Someone decided that + in the search engine had to be reused for the doomed platform. Sad.
taxis don't have to be expensive. yeah, in NY and other US cities they're due to artificial constraints. currently, in Taipei TW. taxis dirt cheap. one thing that helps is public transport is everywhere and hence taxis have to be compete.

so yeah, for taxis to be available cheaply, public transit has to be everywhere which we know in the US won't happen due to suburban sprawl.
If you fundamentally believe that Apple would go to all this trouble, create hashes, machine learning, all the code required, all the work with the third party, just to tell the world including those they hope to catch they can disable it by simply turning off iCloud photos, then there really isn’t much left to discuss.

What most websites don't realise is that cookies aren't only covered by GDPR, but also the ePrivacy directive (or more specifically its national implementation, since it is a directive).

The ePD says consent is the only legal basis permitted for placing non essential cookies. Essential has a very narrow meaning that effectively covers a shopping basket or login cookie for features you elect to use. It doesn't cover analytics etc. No presumed consent, no opt-out, etc.

The combination of GDPR and ePD means that your ePD cookie consent must meet GDPR standard levels of consent, which require clear, unambiguous opt-in, informed consent. And that rules out many dark patterns we see everywhere. The German "Planet 49" ruling confirms that consent is required for cookies.

Therefore every time I see "legitimate interest" on a cookie banner, I know it's an ill-informed attempt at a dark pattern by someone who wants a second bite at the cherry, and doesn't understand they:

1. Require consent
2. Need this consent to be actively given (opt in, not opt out).
3. Can't just ask the question again with a pre-ticked box and hide it behind a tab or fold...

Youtube. It's pretty much just Youtube. They are the only player with meaningful market share. Even Facebook video is most effective at only 20-40 seconds.

I would welcome any competition to Youtube, even if it means TikTok expanding.
Google conducts the exact same scans on their own servers, which means the results for a single false positive must be handed over to anyone with a subpoena.

With Apple's system, no data hits their servers until multiple images match known examples of kiddie porn.

If there is a single false positive, Apple won't even know about it.

You can't provide data you never had, so Apple's system is much more private.
People are still working the same retail jobs they did in the days before 24/7 expectations and, after taking into account inflation, making about the same amount of money.

Not if the new residents can afford much higher prices than the locals. They’ll bid the available housing up to a point that locals can no longer afford it and some become homeless. This has happened in many places in the US.
30kg flying on Mars? Wow! How massive is this thing gonna be. Ingenuity is already 1.2 metres across, so it’s not exactly small. This thing is gonna be massive.
You beat me to saying it. However, Uber could still compete by spinning off the majority of its software business (and they should!).
"If language processing has a universal basis, why all the confusing variety..." Because the universal processing mechanism provides lots of options for individual languages--the option for different words, obviously, but the option to use or not to use morphology (and lots of varieties of morphology), and different syntax rules, etc. etc.

To use an analogy, a computer chip provides a single instruction set at the machine language level--yet you can run a huge variety of computer languages on it: FORTRAN, LISP, Python, Prolog and so forth.
>How is trading volume related to cash liquidity

It's not. The parent commentis talking about the liqudity of the market as a whole (ie. what would happen if 100M worth of bitcoin was sold at once)

>An exchange with 0 fiat on/offramps and no cash in the bank could still trade billions of USD worth of cryptocurrencies a day.

It would presumably have millions of USD worth of crypto in their wallet (since they charge trading fees). They can take the crypto and dump it into the very liquid bitcoin market to turn it into cash.
wow that's got everything and almost the kitchen sink.

I was using iCloud Photo Library before this was announced.

None of my photos have been scanned, nor ever will be unless I choose for them to be. I don’t have to do anything to achieve this. They won’t scan anything unless I decide to go ahead.

That is the very meaning of opt-in.

Opt-out typically means that someone will go ahead with something unless you decline. This is not that.

I do agree that if I don’t want on device scanning in future, I will need to choose another could photo service, but in the meantime, nothing will be scanned without me taking positive action to initiate it.
I think it might be a mistake of dividing the options into two camps, Uber and all other taxi companies, by now.. There are a LOT of IT solutions any taxi company can rent that gets them a lot (or most?) of the Uber features (except the brand name). Basically all of the IT you need including apps and call-center handling can be sourced in.

I guess tech is catching up with Uber and what they still have is a good brand and there is some confidence that you hopefully has a smaller risk of getting ripped off with them at least if you're a tourist in a new city.
Your mistake is that you belive that (1) the law is not clear and (2) these poor companies end up with these crazy solutions because the law is unclear.

The thing is that the _intent_ of the law is very clear. You could search for loopholes and come up with all kinds of creative solutions to go around it, but then you can't pretend it is a decision you made in good fate.
Just as counterpoint, I've gone to and from the airport (SF<->SFO) four times in the past month, and each time I got a car within the normal amount of time I'd expect.
In addition to using Parsec's tech for cloud-based gaming, I also foresee Unity using it to stream shared applications into multi-user mixed reality apps (for example, multiple users in AR or VR sharing a Windows desktop).
Is this a statement about geography, or language?

Something tells me we don't have too many Chinese nationals living in China on hackernews either.

Or on Reddit. Or Facebook.

In fact, I saw the most content from China.. on TikTok. And since those were dance videos, I quickly skipped them. But I don't know if Chinese-speaking people in the US have the same experience.
One time I was reading Sherlock Holmes as a kid and ran upon this passage:

"I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skillful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones."

I thought it was right. It was a horrible decision to make. There are so many times I have looked down upon people who make silly side-projects, going "It will never succeed" or "You could be starting a business instead!" and it is subconscious and terrible. I think that learning new things, and gaining a new skillset, are important, and I wish I knew that earlier instead of just wasting my life away trying to feel superior to people toying on some problem with FPGA's or something. It's a horrible mindset to culture.
He ain't kidding about the ergonomics of the ECS boys and girls. Especially in Rust...it's so good that it's not longer just tool for performance optimization but code readability/comprehensibility. It's either that or having a lot of `Arc<RwLock<T>>` s flying around (atomic ref counted read write locks for the uninitiated). I say this as someone who's making use of bevy_ecs separately in this toy renderer project of mine and I've not had to do any wrestling-matches with the compiler since I pulled it in. Absolute joy to use.

Entity-relationships (foreign keys basically) are an interesting idea and can't wait to see what they look like.

Also, I want to add that the bevy community and generally rust_gamedev are pretty great and full of welcoming and inspiring people as such.
I'm not sure why people keep comparing these. I go on facebook for friends, I go on twitter for work, I go on instagram for showing off, and I go on tiktok to consume cocain directly to my brain
Many co-ops don't aim high enough. The most competitive companies aim to increase marketshare to increase profits. This leads to economies of scale, which also gives them an advantage.

Basically, the market forces favor greed.
China was supposed to start overtaking the US, but the one child policy knee-capped that route. Now their workforce is getting much smaller and the burden of care for the elderly is growing fast.
Parsec also works in a browser and quite well I might add. I get very similar performance between their web and desktop clients
> It dramatically reduced the cost of entry for many ad-tech applications.

You say that as if it was unequivocally a point in its favour.
There are thousands of neighborhoods in metro Phoenix that are designed exactly how you're suggesting. Anyone who wants that is positively spoiled for choice already. I don't see the harm in one or two developments exploring other types of urbanism, especially in the middle of a college town.
> How are the hashes hidden? It looks like they are shared: https://www.thorn.org/reporting-child-sexual-abuse-content-s..

These hashes are not generated by Apple and are not valid. (Must be generated by their new system) They are probably very strictly guarded.

They will be stored on every iOS from 15 version, somehow securely. This must limit the support of older iPhones.
>but they can't just dip into the customer funds and use them to pay the government.

But if they have $1B-2B worth of trade volume daily and they charge a 0.1% fee per trade, wouldn't that mean they're generating $1M daily in revenue? From that, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume they have profits accumulated to pay the fine?

No, the immense majority of windows users couldn't care less.
An interesting question as many don't understand the rules for when consent is required.

I'd wager it is far fewer sites than who don't show one, or show a meaningless pop-up saying they use cookies and you agree by browsing to the site.

These sites almost invariably are using GTM to load all sorts of third party scripts and cookies....

Heck even sites that show cookie prompts often don't link the prompt to the actual script placing the cookies! Cookies dumped before the consent box has even loaded...
Eh, in a UI font though? I appreciate the lack of italics in the UI of my system (which is running Mavericks, so has Lucida Grande), it keeps the menus clean and there are better ways to add emphasis where truly needed.

Is it? Why? What has the average person gained from being able to shop and bank 24/7? Are you sure they aren't just being given more incentive to spend money and support greedy management and investors?
The article says "limited the reach", not "banned them". There's not a great way for you or I to evaluate if that's still happening.
No one said that there are no queer people on TikTok, or that they get no exposure. They said that TikTok artificially limits their exposure in several ways, especially outside their home country. That's probably not a big deal if they're in the US, but potentially a very big deal elsewhere.
