Exactly -- I'm not sure why people seem convinced that YouTube should be legally compelled to provide free video hosting for anyone. Surely HN people should be aware how much that costs.

If one feels that YouTube is abusing a monopoly position, then one should be in favor of breaking up YouTube. Period.
I think the animus is against overworking people for low pay with virtual monopoly protection against labor unions or alternatives, although I'm sure there are those who also advocate for universal basic income. I'm not sure that I believe cut-throat capitalism is the only answer, but I feel your sentiment that the alternative solutions are not well presented at the moment.
I wasn't talking about performance, I was talking about compatibility with games. Sorry if that wasn't clear; I've edited.

Valve has been doing amazing things in this space, but for now my understanding is that it's more of a "most games will work pretty well" scenario, which is not really what I want for my primary games machine.

Encoding is not the same as execution because you only encode the program and its input.

You don't know what the output is unless you execute it on the FRACTRAN machine; the thing that gets you the output is execution.

Note that execution is not a function that gives a finite output, as some programs never halt, or never return an output at all.

So while you can always encode, you don't always get an output from that encoding (like in cases where the Turing machine never halts).

TL;DR: encoding is a function (finite #of bits -> finite #of bits). Execution is a function (finite #of bits -> ???), where ??? can be a finite or infinite sequence, or an empty set, and there is no way to tell which it is other than executing, which may take infinite time (see: Halting problem).

Nowadays we're becoming numb to seeing billions. Trillions is the new gauge it seems.
I mean wow, I get that boredom can slowly kill a white-collar worker, but...think of the millions trying to cross the border just for a slim chance of a better future.

To me this sounds like a typical American/tech worker entitlement problem. Do you even know how privileged you are by the simple fact that you are American?

Most jobs are only eligible for Americans, while millions who are qualified are not allowed to work just because they were born in a different place.

Billions struggling to even get food on the table...it is all perspective. A little bit of "hardship" just because you have to work from home? Come on...
That is partly on you but also more on your manager. He should be talking about where you want to go with your career in 1-1s and certainly in reviews.
Apple isn't required to stop redistribution of existing material; they're required to make a report if they have actual knowledge of users possessing or distributing apparent CSAM.

This is different from what your comment implies in two ways. First, they do not have an obligation to actively look for CSAM; they only incur an obligation if they find it. Second, the obligation applies to apparent illegal content rather than known illegal content. What qualifies as apparent could end up in court.

When your job as a politician is to gather as much power and donations as possible to be re-elected, then they are not really doing the job their constituents require of them. This is the dominate flaw of first-past-the-post elections which leads to policy lurch and climate stalling. This is why, here in Canada, I advocate for electoral reform, specifically a Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform. Such a process will most likely result in a Proportional Representational government, and thus change the focus from elections to actual policy work, and a shift toward evidence-based policy.

Electoral reform is how we debug the system.

I just hope we can make this happen in time.
CovidPass: Making it badass by drawing inside the QR code
As a small, useless but fun hobby project, I wanted to try and draw something inside my EU Covid Pass QR certificate WITHOUT relying on error correction or rendering the digital certificate invalid.

TL;DR - some deflate misuse, mixed-mode alphanumeric and numeric QR encoding, mask choice override, padding the code with content that base45 encodes to numbers only and choosing them in a way to produce a meaningful image. Apparently, verifier apps are fine with it - every one I tried scans green.

This is a non-prod demo cert used for illustration of the concept with some funny images inside:

Would there be any interest in me doing a post explaining how it was done?

Also, what else should I draw inside?
Unless you're running a locally patched version AGPL is indistinguishable from GPL.
Big fan of eOS. Congrats on the launch!

I always wondered how an open-source project develops from scratch so many different apps (e.g. Web, Mail, Calendar, etc). Why not focusing more on the OS rather than wasting resources on apps that there are mature open-source alternatives (e.g. Thunderbird, Firefox, etc)?
> You'd rather damn an entire state to stagnation than risk being looked down upon by some hypothetical elitist?

Also, for the record - it's not hypothetical, you're literally an example of this hypothetical elitist as an Ivy grad (top schools only exist in order to enforce segregation against lesser people like me). I'm sure you took calculus in 8th grade while I took it in senior year but I'm not subhuman because of it.
> here is an inner one, {x,+/-2#x}, and the outer one (the entire thing

So in the inner one, x is the argument of the inner function or the argument of the outer one? Is x always an argument to anonymous functions?

> / (like a lot of k symbols) does a few different things depending on context

That's a recipe for confusion.

> Sure, there may be some complexities or questions, but there are in all languages

I can go back to the initial example: just browse other implementations of Fibonacci in different languages. For most of them you can actually understand a bit what's happening, even if it's a different paradigm (e.g, I can understand the Haskell or Clojure implementations without too many issues, and in fact I can learn things about the language from that). But operators that do different things depending on context, insistence on non-standard symbols, weird scope issues... That's not "complexities or questions that are in all languages", that's a recipe for confusion and extra complexity that you need to have in mind on top of the complexity of whatever you are coding.

Right but it's easier to just not use Google Photos. It's harder to opt out of your phone. I realize they "said" that device scanning will only be used if iCloud is enabled (right?). But ToS changes constantly and who knows what the future holds.
Sure! Our model is focused on making sure that data gets encrypted before it hits our customers' infrastructure, so that there's nowhere on the backend where the data exists in plaintext. This isolates developers from misconfiguration and key management.
If the app is in focus and you click on it on the dock, it minimizes itself. You can also do Super+H.

There's a note at the bottom saying they removed some small states.

Idaho is also a small population state, but it's still 3x bigger than Vermont.

However, I'm not sure why Arkansas is not highlighted as a top gainer. It has the same net migration numbers as South Carolina, and a larger population than Idaho.
When it comes to CA, The only reason people "want" to move from more expensive to cheaper places is price alone, not any other characteristics - supply and demand doesn't work like that. More expensive = more demand.

People can't afford to live in expensive places the way they'd like to. What's cute most years in CA (I haven't seen Covid-data, which probably changes things) is that net migration among people making >100K is positive. So wealthy people are pushing others out. Yay free market?

Is there anything naturally "Republican" about having large amounts of land for (frequently still Democratic-leaning) cities to continue to sprawl into in red states, avoiding the crunch that hit the California cities that ran out of space earlier?

Another way of phrasing it: people want to move to lower population density.
you're overestimate the complexity here. these are homogeneous devices it'll be very easy to update them safely. the other approaches are actually more complex and error prone due to bit rot.

having a frequently updated system ensure you're constantly exercising the code paths involved. and your change differential for regression testing is much smaller.
The War on Apple and Google App Stores
> before they were the high paying behemoth they are now, there were regular complaints about compensation.

You mean back when they were illegally colluding with Apple and other technology companies to suppress wages.

> The next response came much later and it was a broad leveling of pay.

I got a 20% pay bump after the wage fixing scheme collapsed and those pay resets happened, and my employer was in no way involved in it-- Apple and Google's conspiracy just suppressed wages far beyond the active participants.

It's not about tone-deafness it's about maximizing profit. Parties that will willfully and knowingly break the law to conspire to fix wages aren't going to be bothered by moves which seem a little cruel or illogical.
MinIO is great. I use MinIO together with FolderSync (Android only) to automatically backup the photos from my phone to my local NAS. It runs a scheduled job every night and they're saved in the original HEIC format.

I've also used MinIO to mock an S3 service for integration tests, complete with auth and whatnot.

In what sense? If you mean the fact there are multiple solutions, I don't think it's anything to do with Linux Desktop. I don't think that's even to do with Linux. More the plethora of alternatives in general when using FOSS. But that to some is its strength, not failure.
>Key takeaway for me: more people want to become republicans.

Most people don't even vote. The most obvious thing I can see here is people are moving from high CoL areas to low CoL (which also tracks with the growth in remote work).
California's friendliness to homelessness and "hobo code" goes back over a century, and is an innate part of its culture. I don't think that's changing any time soon.

IIRC, Jack London wrote about it. But I'm looking it up and it seems like maybe Jack London traveled the whole country as a hobo... so I'll have to double check. That was in the 1890s during one of the "great depressions".

Homelessness vs Hobo-code will be an eternal fight. People want to help the homeless, but not so much that they come flocking into the city.
Yes. But, as the dominant player in the market (with over 75% of the online video platform marketshare), should they?

Governments tend to put additional restrictions on the biggest players, and perhaps YouTube should be the subject of such a restriction.

I don't think it's an issue of getting the same amount done in fewer hours, I think that those hours are likely the actual productive hours anyway so we might as well adopt that schedule as you advocate.
True, and early Christian cults were often mixed up in offshoots of the mysteries traditions as well.

So while the article mixes up which storied tree that image is supposed to represent, there's a real question of whether or not the similarities to the amanita mushroom were intentional or not. When placed in the context of esoteric traditions, it's a worthwhile question.
Increasing wages across the board should lead to increased inflation either way unless people start saving at higher rates.

Edit: my reasoning is that increased wages leads to increased spending, which increases prices unless goods/services can be supplied cheaper, which is unlikely since productivity growth is low.
But, how is that not the logical conclusion?

I agree on "people should think before putting a child into this world". Will you agree also on the following:

* Despite the should, some people will not think before doing X. So the punishment you propose will not just be an abstract thing that convinces people to "not do X", it will be something you actively inflict on people (otherwise it's completely meaningless, if not enforced).

So let's go back to the tax. Statistically speaking, who are the people who have lots of kids? Those who are rich (and might be deterred by an additional tax) or those who are poor and can barely feed said kids? Now, if you enforce an additional "kid tax" (and not just as a temporary thing, but as a perpetual lifetime punishment), what exactly is the effect that you think it'll have? Won't you de facto withdraw or limit "social security" exactly from the people who need it the most?

Just look at the data. Population doesn't increase when people become wealthy, on the contrary, it decreases. Rich people just don't have that many kids. Your tax could only serve the opposite purpose, while making the poor even more miserable.

A friend at FANG who moved from IC to management describes it as a relaxed and easy cushy job compared to being an engineer and doing real work.
Exactly. Especially considering it's been announced publicly.

Cynical take- as pedos move to other means of storing and sharing CSAM, there will be far fewer photos flagged for review which requires fewer reviewers to be paid by Apple. If they wanted to do this for the greater good as some users claim, wouldn't they have been far more successful in catching criminals if they kept this system secret?

Disclaimer: I'm not in support of keeping it secret nor even the system itself, but this is a question worth considering when viewing the situation through the greater good lens.
One more reason not to use a single email address for multiple services. Violation of terms of services in one of them can be catastrophic, like in the article, the author's google account gets deleted with just warning.
My 2 cents on this as I transitioned within the same company,

1. Your existing relationships will factor into your work. You might carry over existing biases. Your rapport with your peers will decide how much successful your decisions on running the team are met with early on. This is also a double edged sword since you might find it difficult to make harder decisions as a leader and a good colleague might not be always a good employee.

2. Advantage on solving existing problems since you have faced them as an IC and now may have the necessary knowledge, power and contacts to solve them. Do be careful to identify if they are solvable first as these problems may appear very different from the point of view for a manager.

3. You might feel the need to solve a coding problem or architect a new feature since you might have exposure or knowledge on the same, but you would have to play a different role in it since you are no longer a contributor but a manager.

All of the photos that you upload scanned and hashed. All of the hashes are either sent out for comparison to the database or checked locally.(I do not know which.) That means that for every picture you want to upload to iCloud, you must prove it is not abusive material.

So the equivalent is that for every single trip you take, you must prove you are not under the influence.

I left work this year and while not overworked, I do feel like employers could increase my time off by 50% while reducing my time-in-seat by 20% but choose not to. I probably would have kept working with more time off, but 3-4 weeks off a year, just wasn't enough for the life my family and I wanted wanted to have.

Compensation was the hardest thing to leave, but when looking at the life I wanted to live I realized I had what I needed to to full-fill that life now. Mentally it is very hard, though. I had a great engineering job at Apple and after over 4 years I had a sizable chunk of RSU's to walk away from. What helped me with the RSU's was realizing that eventually I would leave–whether now or in 20 years–so walking away from RSU's is non-avoidable so I tried to frame it as a sunk cost.

If patents were a significant factor in the high prices for insulin in the USA, you would expect prices to be similarly high in all countries that recognize those patents.

They aren’t. https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA788-1.html:

“Although the ratio of U.S. to other-country prices varied depending on the comparison country and insulin category, U.S. prices were always higher (often five to ten times higher) than those in other countries.“

“Other countries” includes Canada and Germany, so they didn’t look at particularly poor countries. The linked PDF says

“The average U.S. manufacturer price per standard unit across all insulins was $98.70, compared with $6.94 in Australia, $12.00 in Canada, $7.52 in the United Kingdom, and $8.81 across all non-U.S. OECD countries combined”
The examples are impressive however I would suggest being slightly more conservative in claiming what it can explain. I definitely think it is over reaching to claim that it works on any language.

The C4_200M Synthetic Dataset for Grammatical Error Correction
I'm sorry that happened to you but I agree that it's a lesson that's good to share here. I always try to ask my reports what they want to do/what changes they would like to make because I understand that a lot of people assume that I'm somehow going to know. I can't read minds!

That doesn't mean that if you tell me you want to be a manager and there aren't any positions available that I'll start thinking about firing you (I really believe some people think this). It means I'll add it to the list of options available to you so, e.g., if a small leadership role becomes available, now you're a potential candidate.
I admittedly haven't seen numbers on how many jobs have moved permanently remote, but anecdotally I don't see "former in-office, now permanently remote" jobs as any large percentage of these moves. I believe a large number are retirees or those who found new employment in a new state.
