True, but then I would assume that serious monitoring apparatus would include mail server monitoring, therefore defeating the need for a custom domain, which may contribute to identify you and/or stigmatise you further. Especially if one is accounting for other traffic carried by the said custom domain.
The DOM in most rendered web sites is far removed from any HTML directly read or written by humans. People can use whatever markup language they want and know that if it
compiles to MathML, it will render in any browser.

LaTeX support was a really long shot to be standardized and implemented consistently across browsers. It's just too powerful. For LaTeX users, the only thing that MathML standardization changes is that MathML is now part of the target language that a LaTeX implementation compiles to. Maybe that will be useful; maybe not.
In dna definitely implies in dna sequence. Especially with dna storage becoming a thing, and with aspects of our physiology actually using dna modifications for their function and to "remember" things (e.g. VDJ recombination), its best not to confuse epigenetic vs genetic information storage. Each hypothesis implies different things and different followup questions.

California’s grid management definitely has issues. I’m not very familiar with this grid management stuff, but I’ve read all CAISO’s reports on what happened in august 2020 that led to the rolling blackouts, and there’s some stuff in there that seemed pretty crazy.

The highlight for me is that CAISO’s day-ahead energy market had some features and “enhancements” such that it 1) ignored the constraint to make physically feasible schedules with enough supply to meet demand, and 2) developed schedules based on “virtual supply” rather than actual physical supply, and 3) develops the schedule based a bid-in demand figure that is consistently well below the actual demand. The result of this is that CAISO’s system generated mostly-binding schedules in which CA exported sort of a lot of power to low priority areas at the same time as CA was having rolling blackouts. I guess financial markets are generally pretty good for solving this sort of problem, but it feels like some optimization based on the real constraints would be useful.

http://www.caiso.com/Documents/Final-Root-Cause-Analysis-Mid..., the whole thing is interesting, the issues I mentioned are mostly described in sections 4.3 and B.3.

My understanding of this may not be correct, so refer to that report as the source of truth, and please let me know if my description is not accurate.
The new Twitter font looks so weird, and at the same time, it looks quite strong on the eyes. They should revert it to the classic one and bring back the fleets.
I was in my early 20s in 1991, and I'd easily pick 2021. The 1990s were a great time to have as my formative period, and it was fun to ride the web from gopher to mobile.

But the 2020s are going to be a transformational decade too, with a lot to learn and experience, and a ton of opportunities. Far more chaotic than the 1990s, but honestly that suits me personally. I thrive on that.

I would pick the 90s over the 2000s or 2010s though.

Well, I'd go back to the 2010s and buy even more bitcoin than I did, but other than that, I could skip that decade.
What benefit would you get from having the fTPM keys? I don't own any PCs with TPM or fTPM as far as I know, so am not very familiar with what having it does as far as user experience is concerned and what having the keys would do to improve that.
I can tell you with certainty that there are indeed cultures that take code quality seriously. In fact, almost above anything else. However, the work itself may be uninteresting to you. Life in tech for me has been a series of impedance mismatches. I love diagrams... I keep an Ikigai Venn diagram on my wall. It helps me focus and evaluate.

>only one master at a time and the slaves are not meant to be promoted.

So not like a historical master-slave relationship.

Master-slave may capture the relationship, but humans still have to read, write and interact with those systems.

Some of those humans still suffer from the legacy of slavery, jim crow and voter suppression.

We can come up with analogies and metaphors which arent so evocative and make working with systems more pleasant just on account of not flippantly referencing the darkest part of societies history.
Total fucking assholes.

And all these fucking idiots in California with their fucking teslas and that piece of shit crack-smoking, wife-beating alcoholic governor of ours wants to ban gas cars.

It got a lot easier, but mail server hosting should be done with care if you don't want it used as a relay and be put on blacklists. Still takes a while to setup.

I had a moment like this recently with, of all things, a snorkeling mask. It was one of those full face masks with a big snorkel sticking out the top like a unicorn's horn that popped on the market a few years ago. It is a marvel. It took all the downsides of the old masks and ingeniously fixed them. Full mouth and nose breathing so you can breathe naturally and comfortably, an airflow pattern that pulls dry air over the lens and keeps it fog free, a wide-angle lense for a better view and less claustrophobia, and an ingeniously designed system of valves that keeps water from flowing into the snorkel and uses your exhalation to push any leaked water in the mask out the bottom. All together, it eliminated the underwater panic I would usually have to fight through while snorkeling and made me feel like a dolphin. No way a product like this could have been made without the collaboration of a lot of very skilled professionals.
This is a post-modernist thread.

Yes. At which point, we'll be where we are right now but with several fewer communications services. People who want this content shared would still be able to host it on their own servers (and assume the liability if someone brings legal action), as they can do right now.

You might want to Google it then. It’s well known that Apple has been asked and refused multiple times. It’s really easy to find. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI–Apple_encryption_dispute

This is a big part of the reason people are surprised and concerned about the scanning program, because it seems like a departure from what Apple has said and done about privacy of iPhone data for the last decade.
For a sexually active 20 y.o., 1971 was probably better than 1991. The threat of HIV had an enormous chilling effect on the casual dating scene.
Yes, it's always "one malicious update away", but what I'm saying is different to that.

You're talking about "installing" a change, and talking about more about their capability to change what happens with your data.

I'm talking about 1) the effort required to _write_ the change and -- more importantly -- 2) the potential backlash being different as to whether it's a modification of an existing functionality vs an entirely new type of functionality. This second point is a major one, because it would be seen as much worse if it looks to the public like they've gone out of their way to do something wrong, and would be much more damaging to their reputation. IMO anyway.
WireGuard has already spoiled me, every time I have to fire up my job's bloatware VPN client I get a little bummed out now.
is it actually objective qualities of the font that are giving people headaches, or is it just because it looks different from what the user expects, and twitter users are used to looking at twitter many times a day, so it throws their brain for a loop?
Why would anybody need actual x86 or ARM or any other specific low-level instructions set on a server? I doubt server side developers program in assembly often. As long as there are a performant JVM, a HTTP server and a database management system available, everything is possible and almost nobody (but system programmers and also those who pay for the spare parts) really have to care about whether it is x86 or what.
In the context of a master password, it doesn't make sense to change it. It's analogous (closely, but not perfectly) to "master key", a term which non-nerds may be familiar with from the world of physical keys (and which term, in that context, isn't going anywhere, in part because, as with this one, there's no reason whatsoever for it to) so gave normal folks a better handle on what it means and how to use the software.
Fair enough! Hopefully the app is as performant as they can possible get from Electron.

I don't see Dropbox surviving.

They're supposedly breaking even for the first time this month, after ten years, but growth is slowing dramatically. They have over 700 million users, but only 15 million paying users. Growth in paying users from 2019-2020 was only 8%, down from 12% the year before, and the numbers are more dramatic the farther back you go.

They're at cost parity with their primary competitors for the most basic plan ($9.99 for 1TB), but there are cheaper alternatives, especially for family plans. Dropbox doesn't have the economies of scale that Microsoft, Google, et. al. have, so storage remains a loss-leader for them. The only way they can make money is trying to upsell addons that most people don't want. If not for the inertia of being first to market, they wouldn't have many paying users. The year-over-year growth in paying customers says it all.
Ask HN: What are the main and +/-s to being a content creator and having a job?
A few of my friends are becoming content creators, while working full-time as software devs/PMs. Are there any downsides here? For example, you put out some content and the company fires you.

They're mainly doing coding tutorials and day-in-the-life type videos.
/2. Most of the brain's computation is not involved in cognition. That may be true. We don't really know./

We have numerous human-specific adaptations to deal with the relatively massive brains we're carrying around.
Germany is a decent offender of executive overreach, you can see that in the numbers. It is not just prominent cases where the governor of Berlin searched a home for a twitter post. Is it called swatting if you just call your police dept to raid someone?

>Interconnectedness is really just a hyperlink, but instead of going to the link by clicking a link, you go through a space.

Hyperlinks are much easier to implement. There's no requirement to have your game engines interoperable and translate seamlessly between the two as the transition takes place. And even then traveling via hyperlink between websites is hardly a seamless experience already. Inter-site hyperlinks are also not that popular. Social websites of course deal in them in large quantities, but your average business website avoids them like the plague. I don't think there's a single hyperlink on Amazon's website that leads out of their ecosystem.
> we don't feel like we need a release

I think a lot of users look at the release history and cadence as a sort of heartbeat; in order to tell if a project is still being maintained. That can be a problem when a program reaches a mature state.

Assuming you're not being facetious (which I'm not sure of)...

You have described why people make such decisions, but you have not yet made an argument for whether it's wise or not. Can you imagine why it would be an unwise decision?

Story link (#26) from that page that had me confused at first: http://mashable.com/2007/02/16/alexas-inaccurate-traffic-sta...

I'm not sure how that's relevant to my comment. I'm not saying any particular thing will happen. I was just disagreeing with the person who said "The only thing that prevents ... from executing arbitrary code on your system is their promise to keep the scope of updates limited. You already operate under this trust model." My disagreement is that it's more complex than "the only thing".

In the USA, perhaps. Though I doubt it even there, a lot of the rural underperforming regions are mostly white.

In Belarus or Moldova, definitely not.

People somehow forget that being white is not the same as being white American. There is a lot of dirty poor whites living under dubious regimes elsewhere. Whiteness is not really a thing.

With normal review cycle times, this would slow things very much.

Optimizing your development practices for being able to revert single commits seems very wrong to me. If you produce so many bugs that this is important, I'd focus on making fewer bugs.

At my current job I can't remember us reverting a commit in the three years I've been here.

We probably work in very different environments, and your views may be the pragmatic ones in your environment.
Ask HN: I have video of JWZ, known pedophile, raping a young boy, who do I send?
JWZ, Jamie Zawinski, lurks here on HN.

He is an accomplished hacker, yet also a known pedophile and the owner of DNA Lounge.

I have video of him raping a underage boy. In San Francisco it is legal for pedophiles to rape young boys (but not young girls). The governor even signed a law for it. You can rape a boy as young as 14 here in San Francisco legally.

Is this something the FBI would look into? Is there another government agency that would look into it?

I'm really concerned about the number of pedophiles in San Francisco today. This is just the latest incident.
A Simple Software Fix Could Limit Location Data Sharing
My take is that USians are sanguine about the price of gas.

In most countries (e.g. Egypt, France) the most common cause of a riot is an increase in the price of fuel. People think the government is responsible for the price of fuel.

In the US people think the market is responsible for the price of fuel and they pay up at the pump or get a smaller car. USians never riot over fuel prices; the most likely cause of a riot in the US is the cops killed a black person and got acquitted.

Sorry, but I think I disagree...

If I understand the PM neuron, it's outputs are boolean. This means there's no backprop signal, despite differentiability, since the outputs are constant (thus, gradient zero) in any neighborhood, which in turns zeros out any learning signal you would want to backprop through them. So you need a different learning strategy than backprop to use them.

(see also: the 'dead neuron' problem/phenomenon with ReLU activations.)
No, this is because the original Beta cassette size that Sony first offered contained enough tape for 1/2 hour of recording.

As time went on, longer cassettes and slower recording speeds were released and Beta recorders eventually had tape cassettes available that recorded for 4.5 hours (L750) or 5 hours (L830) of time on a single cassette.
Good luck trying to leave it... ;-)
Those claims have been debunked as being misinterpreted. If you ran a gas stove for 24 hours then yes the amount of NO2 would be illegal outside. But this doesn't consider time-adjusted emissions but rather peak emissions. So you'd have to combine all of that into a single continuous blast, which isn't the case.

As for asthma, current U.S. federal agency involvement on the subject does not identify a connection between cooking with natural gas stoves and the risk of asthma development or direct association with asthma attacks.

That is much better and it shows that median household incomes hadn’t grown much until recently (as the tight labor market and years of boom have pushed up wages).

I still think it’s crazy our minimum wage is so low ($7.50/hr today vs $11/hour in late 1960s in today’s money). IMHO, it should be pinned to productivity growth since the 1960s (the question is: should we have higher or lower inequality than in the 1960s? The most conservative answer would be “the same”, in which case you tie the ratio of GDP per capita to minimum wage to the same level it was in the 1960s.), which would put the federal minimum wage somewhere north of $20/hour. (Or perhaps a regional approach where a minimum wage of $15/hour is universal and then above that, minimum wage at 40hours/week is three times what it’d need to support a two bedroom apartment rent at median local prices.)

I’m also convinced that stagnated wages has caused stagnation in productivity growth, because as minimum wage becomes cheaper through inflation, it makes less sense for companies to invest in productivity enhancing automation and efficiency as they can just hire cheap workers and fire them as needed.
We are talking about two different things.

Platforms should be able to have an editorial policy. That doesn't magically make their policy immune from criticism.

YouTube or Facebook presenting their editorial choices as "truth", dissenting opinions as dangerous falsehoods, alternate thoughts as offensive hate speech, and different conclusions as "misinformation" is dangerous to our public discourse.
Web Scraping is quite tricky at first, but as you slowly practicing it will gradually become easier as time goes by. There's a lot more into it but do good research on which library you're going to choose, or you should try all of the available and decide for yourself what is the best one for you.
