So it is sending pictures? That makes your argument quite a bit weaker.

Nope, E2EE without compromises is preferable.
The 'brand' needs to differentiate, though. And if Facebook's empire does it, so must Twitter.

It seems like when you're VC-backed and get to a certain size, one of the items on the checklist is "design custom font that looks like every other VC-backed platform's custom font, but is slightly different."

Didn't Dropbox also make their own font?
One of the more commonly misspelled words. In this case it's just a little easily fixable typo in an article online, but I've seen a few businesses where people wanted "rogue" and had "rouge" instead which is kinda mindblowing. When you've registered a business, setup branding and signage etc all the while repeatedly messing up the same word each step of the way. Boy, that's embarrassing.
True, except in this fictional story maybe the condition was set by the professor, university department and not a free option of the respective student that now sees his work being abused by a mega corp too cheap to contribute back.
"But look, I've re-compressed it with JPEG 80%. It's not THAT picture!".

It would be interesting to hear what a court has to say if a child porn consumer would try to defend him/her with this "argument".

>progress to benefit the vast majority of us who do make it

So what level of sacrifice should be required of those that don't make it? Going back to the AIDS example, government involvement was delayed because of bigotry, because it only affected people who didn't make it. Our economy is currently propped up by low wage workers both locally and globally who aren't making it. We don't do a good job at taking care of the sick and the poor. We're doing a terrible job at taking care of the environment. As you both have said, none of this is new, but it doesn't have to be this way. We know how to solve many of society's problems and we choose not to do so. If the core reason for these things is "human nature" and we shouldn't try to change, I don't think I have the defeatist attitude in that case. My attitude comes from seeing solutions that we aren't even trying to do, not that we -shouldn't- try.

>The good guys are winning, by a lot.

I don't see the good guys winning. The good guys currently have the high score, but the bad guys are on the upswing and scoring points on the good guys, who are just standing around.
I hope you're wrong but unclear. Best I can tell it's likely populations with near-100% vaccination rates and reasonable public health teams will be protected from large outbreaks. That strategy has worked for measles, we'll see what happens on this one.

Geez.
I would like you to personally explain why you believe that article to be convincing that colorblindness isn't a positive way to treat people. What do you actually propose with how to treat people that is an overall improvement over colorblindness?

Let's say you start to treat people based on the supposed presumption that all blacks are oppressed and poor. All. Not some, all. I'm not talking about a rough life in a rough neighborhood, I'm talking systemtic oppression at all levels everywhere that everyone does to blacks. As that's the premise of that article, you must repair the relations of the past in order to move forward? Instead why not take the individual and judge them by who they are, not the color you see through your eyes and assume them to be. You end up properly enacting how people should be treated in general, regardless of race. Unless of course you propose and truly believe a race is somehow indicative of a persons' entire identity and personal history. It's delusional and dishonest if you think seeing color is the ultimate message.

You can wish to not be judged for color and wish for reparations to repair relations _at the time_. Certainly the way you're championing this article as somehow irrefutable account of MLKs true intent behind his speech is also disingenuous to nuance.

The article isn't even conclusive as it would require you to follow the sources of:

- Standford (Univeristy)
- Brookings (Public Policy Nonprofit)
- WashingtonPost (Media)
- the74million (Media)
- The Atlantic (Media)
- Ibram X. Kendi ("How to be anti-racist" book author)
- SPLC (Law firm)
- ASCD (Educators community?)
- TNTP (Educators community?)

Not to mention all the standford links are behind a login panel which cannot be verified. This is horribly sourced to be considered _concrete_ in itself.

I feel the article takes MLK's speech as if he said it yesterday instead of taking into account improvements that occurred between then and now. Trying to say that the blacks have had a total degradation of rights and life since then is an insult to the blacks who actually suffered during that time.

I'll continue to treat everyone the same regardless of race because I feel that trying to apologize or cater to someone for the color of their skin without having spoken a word to them would be pretty presumptuous to assume they come from that background or even from a country where they were oppressed in the first place. I'm not sure what your goal is?
New Twitter font is an ephemeral, proprietary experience
> The current understanding is that since electrons are quantum particles, they can only gain or lose energy through quantized packets

Just to clarify. An electron moving freely through a vacuum can move at any speed; it is not restricted to certain energy levels. (Speed and therefore kinetic energy is relative to the reference frame anyway.)

The quantization of energy comes into play when the electron is spatially confined in some system. This is related to the wave behavior of the particle, and because energy is related to wavelength. Much like how a standing wave on a string can only have wavelengths such that an integer multiple of them fit on the string.
You must be joking. It would be hard to find anyone more biased in favour of Apple than Gruber.
Not likely perhaps, but could this be one way to retain more copyright over tweets in the future?

Most companies based on user generated content try to claim ownership over it by way of agreements. That has always been murky legal territory and it's not easy to know what value they have.

If the proper rendering of content was made dependent on proprietary fonts, that could be one way to exercise control over where that content can be used.

It's not impossible that making users pick proprietary emoticons could have economic value. Remember where you heard it first...
>The escrow 'company' didn't have any sort of need for a paper trail of where money came from when buying my house.

Why in the world would they? I’ve bought and sold lots of properties, and that has happened literally zero times ever. If the escrow company asked me where my money came from, I’d tell them to get fucked and I’d use a different company. It’s absolutely none of their business.
There are plenty of Reddit archiving and mirroring services. Pay one of those for a database dump and you’re off to the races (copyright issues be damned)
I'm fine with this change for my usage, I don't think I've used password auth for myself or any automated service I've setup for years now. However, this will introduce more confusion for newcomers who already have to figure out what Git, GitHub, etc are. I just spent some time last weeekend teaching someone the basics of how to create a new project. Such a simple idea required introducing the terminal, basic terminal commands, GitHub, git and its most common commands. It took about 3 hours for us to get through just the most basic pieces. Adding on ssh-keygen, key management adds even more friction.

It's certainly a difficult problem. How can we offer a more gentle learning curve for budding developers while still requiring "real" projects to use best practices for security and development?
It might only be wrong for programs that have never existed and will ever exist.
I have been on reddit a long time and I have never seen a popular sub ever die unless it gets banned by admins. Splinter subs emerge but the original one remains popular too

I actually asked that exact question as well recently :)

The problem is that the truck batteries are absolutely massive (4k+ pounds), so while I'm sure it's technically possible, practically speaking, moving around and storing batteries that big and heavy is just not realistic today.
That's a fair opinion, but the law conflicts with that opinion in many places: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_your_customer#Laws_by_cou...
Does HN have a policy about correcting typos in submitted titles? “aguish” is indeed what the gist currently says, but I’d imagine that’ll be fixed at some point.
I agree that LLCs can be abused. The answer to this is stronger enforcement of anti-money-laundering, not preventing LLCs from owning property.

But increasing investigation and enforcement of money laundering laws requires the political will of state prosecutors, who are usually elected officials. Only recently have prosecutors willing to actively go after this stuff (like AG Letitia James in NY).

LLCs have a useful function (allowing business that limit their owners personal exposure to the business's liabilities, and vice versa).
It's easy to forget what a big deal rail is in the USA, because the freight lines successfully lobbied Congress to allow them to eliminate the passenger cards they used to be required to add to the end of their freight trains. Back when that was the case passenger rail travel in the USA was cheap and ubiquitous, because it went everywhere the mail did. E.B. White has a wonderful little essay[1] about it. The full text can be found in the excellent Essays of E.B. White[2].

An opinion piece.

The absolute state of Covid fanatics.
Most likely not.. it would be difficult to warehouse, move, charge and redeploy the batteries in typical truck stops. On top of that, with so many different fleets in operation in the US, there's no guarantee there will be the broad compatibility and on-the-road service that you would want when integrating an unknown piece of equipment on your vehicle.

It will likely be more difficult for trucks. The amount of space consumed by the battery is prohibitive, and they're not laid out "below the floor" like they are in a passenger vehicle. They're typically in a large stack behind the drivers cabin, imaging the type of equipment needed to do the swap, I can't see this happening regularly.
Old Harley Davidson motorcycles used only SAE parts. Newer ones have global suppliers and have a mix of metric and SAE.
We recently sold a home. We did choose the escrow company. Neither we, nor the buyers, used an agent/attorney. We did the same thing when buying our new house. No agents or attorneys involved and the sellers chose the escrow company. These days, with the Internet, it really is tremendously easy to fill out all the paperwork correctly and do everything yourself. The total time we spent from beginning to end was a few hours total, which saved tens of thousands of dollars on each transaction. 10/10 I’d forgo using an agent/attorney next time as well.
I was just a bit of tongue in cheek. But who can refuse a good story if you wish to share :-)
I think there is hope in to hydrogen that is produced as by product of carbon capture technology, especially green cement and lithium production via sea water.
It's already happening with the profile pages being implemented.

I liked it around 2008 because it did not have profile pages and a fairly simple, straightforward interface and did not attempt to couple one's real life identity to one's post and encouraged throwaway accounts by allowing users to sign up without providing an email address.

Much of that is changing, and I also find that websites that encourage a link with one's real life identity tend to have an ever more annoying culture.

It also feels like more excessive Americana as time goes on. It did not seem like idiosyncractic U.S.A. social issues were as common in 2008, as well as the typical user that assumes every other user is from the U.S.A..
You're actually both mistaken. It was referred to both as Weyland-Yutani and Weylan-Yutani (note: wEy not wAy). It's an easy mistake to make :)
This. There is way less racism now than their used to be. At the same time we have more awareness of the issues. The only people I know who are really bothered by this are those who liked the old world where people knew their place.
Hopefully they'll enhance the other authentication methods. I was quite surprised how complicated yet insecure the GitHub Actions and personal access token mechanisms are just last week.

GitHub Actions tokens are scoped to the single repo they operate in, so for anything that you need covering any cross-repository or org access the official docs immediately tell you to just use a PAT instead. But PATs have no repository scoping whatsoever, it's all or nothing. So although both PATs and GHA Tokens have these complex scope requests, it's completely missing the most basic use cases in my opinion, like creating a PR in repo X, allow installing a package from GitHub Packages in repo Y, check out code from repo Z etc. You either go full mono-repo for everything, or you use PATs for everything with no repository boundaries at all, yikes.
Their neural hashing is new, and they claim has a one in a trillion collision rate. There are 1.5 trillion images created in the US and something like 100 million photos in the compared database. That's a heck of a lot of collisions. And that's just a single year, Apple will be comparing everyone's back catalog.

A lot of innocent people are going to get caught up in this.
no, it is product. Adidas soccer shoes have been underperforming because they honestly suck. Even their shirts are pretty bad compared to Nike's drifit.

Their classical Samba and Copa mundial, are just too heavy for modern use, and their new fabric/material lightweight shoes are just not as good as Nike's.

Nike has innovated material wise, while Adidas hasn't, and it just has only been catching up with inferior me to products.
Intent does not matter. If it has WiFi and remote access, people will try to break in, and probably succeed. Build a backdoor, and it will be used.

That's what indicates to me that it was intended as a joke, yes.
99% of internet discussion on this topic is junk.

And how is that?

It seems like the Gruber article follows a common formula for justifying controversial approaches. First, "most of what you hear is junk", then "here's a bunch of technical points everyone gets wrong"(but where the wrongness might not change the basic situation), then go over the non-controversial and then finally go to the controversial parts and give the standard "think of the children" explanation. But if you've cleared away all other discussion of the situation, you might make these apologistics sound like new insight.

Is Apple "scanning people's photos"? Basically yes? They're doing it with signatures but that's how any mass surveillance would work. They promise to do this only with CSAM but they previously promised to not scan your phone's data at all.
You sure? On my M1 Air, I tap Fn and I get the emoji picker. I didn't configure this behavior.
From a link on this page:

Declining Length-of-Haul

Today, the average length-of-haul is just 62 percent of what it was in 2005, decreasing from 800 miles to 500 (Fleet Owner). And the rate of decline appears to be accelerating. Since 2012, average miles driven between pickup and delivery have declined by 26 percent in reefers, 10 percent in flatbed trucks, and 9 percent in dry vans (Overdrive).
For sure - different tools for different jobs. We use different software Dev tools for different projects.

I’m a hobby home chef so I guess my optimizations are different. I insist on an offset smoker when a pellet smoker would use much less of my time, for example.

Awesome you cook though especially when it’s not your preferred way to spend time! It’s so easy to fall into the pattern of just getting delicious restaurant food all the time but cooking for yourself and family builds something.
This seems likely to change.
Yeah .. it's not great. Creating a machine user is really the only way to do it right now :(.
I follow Android, not Linux itself.

My latest update was that not all patches were accepted upstream, or Google didn't care about upstreaming them, whatever.

There are some Linux Plumbers talks, or from Linaro, about this a years back.
> These requirements apply to all American citizens, not only wealthy people. I lived in Switzerland briefly and had a bank account there; it was closed (along with all other Americans' accounts) because the bank didn't want the burden of reporting.

Yup, can confirm - a large majority of smaller banks will not open a bank account for US citizens in Switzerland. The few larger ones will, but there's extra paperwork you need to fill out.
I really love autofocus for this:

http://markforster.squarespace.com/autofocus-system/

It gives you the permission to "just" work on something for five minutes.

I like to look at it like this: time management systems and practices, at the personal level, are stacking lego blocks. You find the pieces that work for you and combine them - there's no one true system. Calendar stacking solves one particular problem - that problem may not be yours.

But the largest tip is having a "don't-do" or "someday/maybe" list. These are things that look productive but you have to actively say no to, so that you can say "yes" to what matters. It's not about habits or similar - it's about great ideas and things that might make sense later but you just have no time for it. So you write it in (and maybe some details) so that you can just release it.

It's a lego block.

Another lego block is the "3 things." Ruthlessly prioritize to the most important things. Have a very low priority queue for a day.

But ultimately, the key is that even the time gurus know that they are writing for a subset of all people. There is no one true method.
That's not my point. My point is there is now no record of where the money came from, anywhere.

If I go deposit 500k in a TDAmeritrade account or at Wells Fargo, you can bet it's going to be sent out to the IRS or have a flag flipped somewhere and that transaction is going to be recorded.
I don't think the "diversity agenda" has contributed to awareness. Awareness of the problem probably comes from the internet and the democratization of media. People couldn't watch Rodney King on YouTube. Now they can and thousands of other similar incidents.

No amount of racial sensitivity trainings could ever amount to watching a single YouTube video of an unarmed black man being shot by the police.
Reddit is simultaneously the most usable and most incompetently run (now that tumblr is dead) social media website on the internet. My hunch is that both phenomena are connected.

___________

The incompetent UI rehaul has meant that most users continue staying on old.reddit.com, which makes it impossible to sunset. This means that old.reddit.com works in the most familiar manner of early-2000s forums without much in its way. The incredibly late and terrible 1st party app, has meant that significantly superior 3rd party apps (without the same large scale profit motives) have gained prominence and cannot be pushed out. The ads are bad enough, that they don't have a large variety of advertisers to specifically target compatible subreddits. Imagine having simultaneously the most most engaged users and the worst ads. The censorship is amateurish, and gets beaten by a motivated bunch of idiots on a regular basis. The fear of a competitor being just around the corner (due to their own digg origin story) makes them too scared to censor beyond an unperceivable breaking point, lest they face mass exodus. Good teams are analytically user obsessed. They know their target audience very well. To be fair, worse teams ban users for what used to be the central purpose of their platform cough tumblr cough.

Its public perception is tied to the Boston marathon, pedophile-defending employees and the rise of Trump. So, there isn't sufficient adoption among 'normies'. While that's bad for monetization it slows down the rate of decline in content quality and keeps it far away enough from the public eye, that you can get away with 'better' content.

Every feature they attempt to release (Chat, live stream, video hosting) is done so badly that users refuse to bulge on previous user flows. Thus, it maintains a certain purity.

_________

Reddit is the most ironic victor due to the 'don't fix what's not broken' rule.

Reddit in 2015 was a pretty good website. The devs have been unable to get adoption for any new feature past 2015. Thus, they never fixed what was not broken.

Facebook frequently messes with user flows to maximize earnings. Most successful social media websites have figured out how to guide their users down an 'intended' user flow such that they can maximally profit without losing any users. Reddit doesn't know how to do either.

With that, I hope that Reddit's leaders never wisen up and start making real money. The day reddit figures out monetization, will be the day that I set forth looking for a new badly-monetized platform.
Another, probably not insurmountable, issue with SQLite in the browser (without having a formal specification that could produce cross-language alternatives):

Using SQLite results in a new, built-in reliance on a C library. Even though most languages can use C library bindings, it does present some issues in some build scenarios, such as static builds, and, given the enormous scope of SQLite, would prevent anyone from ever achieving a 100% rust browser.
I agree they should upstream everything to gcc/clang to make their processors smoke the competition, but always assumed icc being a paid-for product came with additional support and access to Intel's expertise in using their tools and processors.
Reading Mozilla docs I get the impression that your data could get nuked in indexdb if it needs to clear space.

Attack vector might be to register 1000 domains then get a page to load each of those to fill up its 2Gb quota? Just guessing….
