The notion of fairness you are discussing is 1) vague 2) very similar to standard training. If you have an optimization problem that represents your fairness, it’d be more useful to just compare that with the other problems in the literature. Otherwise, it sounds like you want max accuracy and max fairness, which is unlikely to occur on non-degenerate datasets.

Anyway, if I’m understanding correctly, you would end up with “individual fairness” if you did formalize your fairness, which is discussed in the linked papers.
If you consider multicast/broadcast as a way to possibly fingerprint a users home network and identify them then this makes some good sense.
Doesn't that rule out any phone?

> So you can either support the right of the people to overthrow an authoritarian regime and establish a democratic process that will lead to a fundamentalist islamic state, or you can support a regime that is authoritarian but will allow the practice of some western liberal values.

In Latin America, given the choice between 'a democratic process that will lead to socialism' or 'a regime that is authoritarian (with or without any "western liberal values" included)' the United States picks #2 basically every time.
But do you disagree with the video? It seems pretty spot on to me. People *are* going mad and (violently) turning against each other, and the media and governments are perpetuating it.

Regarding the comments -- that's YT for you. The comments section is always weird.
Instead of trying to define a guideline that says “may not use multicast for this, that, blah”, apps instead just have to request it and explain why. It’s probably not a topic that the usual review team can consider without extreme levels of training beyond what’s necessary, and it’s a specialty network skill with lots of privacy traps. It also allows Apple to see who doesn’t request the permission but uses multicast anyways, because they might be using some sort of framework that is unknowingly tracking people, and then they can identify and start rejecting that framework storewide.

“How can we ensure every request for multicast escalates to someone qualified to make a decision that we can stand behind?” An essay question is a great answer, even if people hate the uncertainty. Better that than a new guideline!

They seem to make it hard to find the 16GB version. It's never the in stock model unless you want to pay for some other upgrades.

That said I have an 8GB version and it's so far handling what I need to do fine, but I'm not doing any heavy dev work on it.
> I think we should have a clear separation between hardware and software companies. This is how it worked in the old days when the internet was built.

I think that's an exaggeration, isn't it? Aside from the old PC industry (still surviving today), most computers were produced as a whole: whether it was Sun microcomputers and SunOS or Atari STs and GEM or Apples and MacOS, they were paired.

The development of separate and competing operating systems and computers, with interchangeable parts and well understood standards, was an innovation but a temporary one.

> and we need more freedom of choice in how our data is treated and by whom, regardless of the hardware that we own

To that end, we need operating system developers to design data-first systems, where the user is in control of their data. Moreover, the liability for data loss and leaks in service-provided cloud storage should be so high that companies will be nervous about storing your data. It's so frustrating to me the number of apps where you install them, and you can't do anything with them without having a user account - even though there's no legitimate reason for them to have a user account for me!
By then Electron will take 300GB to display "hello world" and people will say it's revolutionary.
If only they had cheap, reusable rockets...

Seriously, I really think that Starlink main purpose is to justify SpaceX rockets. It is nice having reusable rockets, but if you don't have anything to launch, that's useless. Currently, the market for satellites is limited, so SpaceX created its own market.

Sounds like a smart move, but we'll see.
It doesn't though. The point of that statement is exactly what I said, to point out that "people have become far more intolerant regarding free speech" is only true if you look at specific people and specific speech. If you look at all speech about everything, it probably isn't true.

Concretely, the far stronger social reaction to slurs against gay people go hand in hand with people now being able to say "I'm gay" without repercussions.
Most of the article is not about Tesla at all. It instead expresses the hope that an investigation of a potential safety risk for people outside the car might indicate some sort of positive trend where regulators might continue to show interest in such people doing forward.

At the time of my post, I could find no other references to the main thrust of the article...
It's a very similar scam to buying a timeshare. The marketing pitch is "ownership" but what you are really buying is a contractual commitment to pay rent in perpetuity.
My old boss often swapped his family's holiday timeshare with other options with no hassle. Though he had a rather expensive option to start with (five star, gold season, …) so most swaps were effectively downgrades, maybe it is much more problematic to switch sideways (or near impossible upwards).
Could brainy lawyers turn this restrictions on use of private property as theft by stealth?
I mean you buy a device and then Apple successively prevent you from using it as you see fit.
the crazy thing is, I'm pretty sure there are people that would jump on that first sentence.
Of course, in order to help out the unfortunate website operators, people should willingly give up pii that the same companies have shown they don’t give a damn about protecting. /s
Yeah, honestly, I do not mind people disliking the Apple device philosophy, but it's a bit wearying to have to dig through all the same grand comments about walled gardens etc etc over and over again in any Apple related discussion.
The endless quest for a great notes-taking tool
What I've been wanting for a long time for my tech notes:

- taking notes easily, preferably markdown (love its simplicity and I seem to remember it pretty well, maybe from stackoverflow's training)
- must be available everywhere, I don't want to sync folders over dropbox or stuff like that across my computers, tablets and phones... it should be hosted maybe on AWS and be available as soon as I type my domain (even public would be fine)
- must be simple to edit (with a password at this point, no public editing :P) to add pages
- must be simple to add images (cut/paste and/or drag and drop) on the document
- there must be a quicksearch (something like I start typing and immediately full-text search into the documents appear below with a small preview of the paragraph where my text was found)

I tried text markdown files + grep -> good but no sync across devices, no images (markdown files can't display that directly, I have to store the images somewhere and link to them, that's a lot of work without a 3rd party program)
I tried google docs -> good but search is terrible, plus a lot of formatting complexity since it wasn't created for tech notes (text + images/graphs)
I tried dropbox -> same issues as above, plus install stuff everywhere. Hate it.

So here I am asking again, maybe I'll be more lucky this time: is there a preferably opensource software (or combination of softwares) that will allow me to have simple tech notes in markdown with fulltext responsive search + extremely quick edit of whatever I'm seeing + web access from any device + paste images directly in those rendered MD files?

It's a VERY simple tool but since my memory is gradually failing (getting old), I'm looking for a way to have my knowledge, coding tips and snippets, programming guides, graphs, linux commands and stuff like that all at a glance at my fingertips.

Sorry for asking again something that has probably been asked a thousand times. As I said: I'm getting old :P
Agreed!
I've been trying to reach out to content creators, but the problem is they mostly ignore since they get so many such requests.
That's why I wanted to know how you get over it when your distribution is bad.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I have played around with AWS Elastic Transcoder: https://aws.amazon.com/elastictranscoder/

If video is of interest, I'd definitely take a look at that and see if it meets your needs. It's one of those specialized serverless offerings from AWS that you pay as you use.
In the entitlement they could whitelist the ports I'm allowed to use.
Regarding the rest of the information, I'm not sure.

Maybe they use it to judge whether it's OK to allow me to broadcast stuff.

It both is and isn't. Technically the rotation is just the inverse of the varial kickflip (a frontside varial kickflip as opposed to the "normal" backside varial kickflip").

The problem comes around that your front foot is very much in the way of the board if it is only doing an "inverse varial". The vertical (end over end) rotation comes out of necessity to get the front foot out of the way.

Plus it looks really cool.
Then they shouldn't use such camera. Simple. This should be illegal!
Because its the obvious outcome of the ancap principles that many on here are strongly in favour of. Company appeals to the largest market share by designing devices that work well for the majority of people. It just happens that HN readers are in the minority on this one.
Point 2 notwithstanding, I wonder what's really the threshold of "predicting" for point 1. I've been reading and participating in conversations about remote work on HN for many years before the pandemic; hell, HN is how I discovered this concept in the first place, and what helped me become a remote worker some 3 years before COVID-19 hit the news. REMOTE tag in the monthly "Who is hiring?" / "Who wants to be hired?" threads has also been established before the pandemic.

We "fixed" it with broadcast, it was the only way.

There are indeed a number of old routers out there that do not work with mDNS well. This is still a problem, but most <5yo routers seem to handle it okay (with the caveat that there are a number of cheap APs and extenders that are completely broken at basic TCP/IP when clients switch).

We use broadcast for device-to-device discovery, vs device-to-phone. It makes for noisy networks, but works better than mDNS on a wide range of hardware.

Biden has at least twice publicly stated or suggested that the driver of the truck that struck his wife's vehicle, killing her and the couple's daughter, had been drinking, even though the driver was not charged with drunken driving (or any other infraction suggesting fault on his part).

What's False

No definitive evidence exists to prove or rule out whether the other driver had been drinking, and belief that drinking had contributed to the crash was reportedly prevalent among the local community and not something Biden simply made up on his own.

[...]

Based on evidence and witness accounts, it appeared that Neilia Biden had pulled into the truck driver’s right of way at an intersection with a two-way stop, and the tractor-trailer driver was unable to stop in time to avoid striking her vehicle:

Here's how I whistle. Suck in your cheeks, like you're puckering for a kiss. Make sure the lips are a tad moist. Blow through the lip hole. It helps if you keep a tightness, or ambiture (sp?) which is how a horns or winds player would describe lip/cheek tightness. Inside, the tongue is resting against front teeth and a very light stream of abdominal air is supplying the whistle. Any luck?

You would think so, but the repeated comments you see in every Apple story makes it seem that folks cannot get over the very existence and success of Apple's device and app store philosophy enough to let any other discussion or criticism emerge.
Getting proper molds built is a very expensive up front investment when you don't know how big your addressable market is. It also impedes innovation in the early design (which these clearly are).

I'm now curious if it makes sense to build replacement pcbs for off the shelf models. I certainly have a very old trackball that I used during the mac quadra era that is fucking fantastic except for the fact that it's ADB. If I could swap out the pcb and make it compatible with qmk and usb that would be fantastic. I do know that there is a small ADB to USB converter out there for keyboards that even let you do keystroke remapping, however I'm unsure of how it deals with mouse-things.

But back to your main point. I think 3d printing makes sense in this space at least for the forseeable future. In the event that they make a 'hit' input device, once the design is refined a modest injection molded run of the case seems like a grand idea.
Oddly, this strikes me as one of the most pessimistic posts I’ve seen on HN.

- What is your definition of “long-term”?

- Can a certain industry or geography get worse while the broader world becomes a “better place”?

- Aren’t optimists just lying to themselves in the opposite way as pessimists?

- Is any group of a single type a good predictor of anything?

- Is everyone on HN exactly the same with the exact same outlook?
...damn, I was looking forward to reading words from the Man Himself. I wonder if He'd be inclined to participate in religious conversation (from which a Western Stranger could learn instead of run).
> TS which can parametrize on meta-types and integers (C++98, Haskell afaik)

Haskell also supports type-level strings and type errors, as well as arbitrary ADTs if defined with the -XDataKinds extension enabled. Not sure what you mean by ‘parametrizing on meta-types’ though.
Yes, but that's not the Torba video being described here. The Rand Paul video is actually irrelevant to the story. At best it serves as a bad introductory example (Rand Paul is not a white nationalist) and at worst it's a deflection of the fact that they purposefully don't include a link to the Torba video. Almost as if the clickbaity headline is the only real story they want to tell here.
I've used Spot.io in the past and it's fine, but I have a hard time trusting something that is literally a marketing blog post about why X product is better than Y product, from the maker of X product.
Oh wow. Thanks. I edited my comment.
Spanish speaker here. Also surprised that I understand the whistles, in particular the second video.

Does it happen to you that when you think of a word in English, even if you don't vocalize, some of your vocal cords become tense or move? Well, these whistles feel the same.

It's easy to be critical of this and I certainly wouldn't be interested even if I had the money. But, in all fairness, a house with 8-way split ownership doesn't really look much different from a neighborhood perspective than a family property that's now owned by an extended family of descendants.

Disagreed, in my entire career so far i've never seen CSS being written completely separately from the components that will use it - there is always strong coupling between how something should work and look. This is done by Bootstrap, Foundation, Materialize and others, the exceptions to this (like Spectre) being the minority.

For example, in Bootstrap and other frameworks you'll always have JS components as well, for non-trivial concerns, such as providing carousels, lightbox functionality, tooltips, collapsibles, tabs and so on. Not using any of those will mean having to write your own from scratch, which will only make the aforementioned problems worse. Sure, you could probably figure things out without too many problems if it was just CSS, but it never is.

Sure, you'll need custom styling on top of all of those anyways in most cases, but i'd argue that it's harder to screw that up and therefore most teams should just stick to the already tested and established solutions out there, like building atop Bootstrap or others.
I have switched teams/departments a few times. The policies are supposed to be standard across the enterprise (set by HR). The processes that HR get directly involved with tend to be pretty consistent. Promotions are one of those processes, and they strictly set a bunch of parameters like the raise being 7%. There are a bunch of policies that don't directly involve HR in the workflow and those tend to vary from department to department. An example of this would be how you're evaluated at year end - they set policies like not allowing story point comparisons between developers, but there's no enforcement.

So far 2 of 3 departments have directly violated HR policies in one or more areas, usually related to performance management or setting requirements that conflict with HR policy.

The third department is fairly new to me. I haven't noticed anything like policy violations yet. Unfortunately, there's very little opportunity. Context switching, expectations to be full stack in multiple stacks, and managers playing musical chairs with which team owns which system has been tough.

Basically, I'm told I'm off track because I'm slow. They agree that I'm slow because of the constant context switching which also doesn't allow me to build expertise. They also said that there's nothing they can do about the context switching. So I take this to mean that I should switch to a team with less context switching so that I can build the expertise and get faster. The problem is they won't let me go now. We have 4 open positions on the team. Some of them have been open for over 2 months and they can't fill them (not really a surprise based on the type of work). When our tech lead leaves in the next week or two, that will make me the most experienced and highest grade dev on the team - I've only been in this team for about 1.5 years (normally a lot of time, but not for juggling stacks and systems - like half the systems I knew for the first part if my stint are now owned by other teams) and I'm only a midlevel. There's only two other devs - a junior who has been here for a year fresh out of college (performs well though) and a contractor whose term is up in about 2 months (and can't be extended).

So I'm literally being told by my boss that the team environment is not conducive to my growth as a dev or for my career development, but that I'm not allowed to go to another team because our team is in crisis. That I'm too valuable to lose, but that I'm deserving of a less than average rating.
Modern hardware isn't a panacea. My work m1 laptop went from the fastest machine I've ever used to painfully slow as soon as the antivirus garbage was ported to arm64 and I had to start running it again.

This would have been a better analysis if it ignored headlines and used comments, perhaps in combination with some sentiment analysis. Also, nfts, Tesla, etc aren’t really tech trends but rather consumer and valuation trends. They should have tested for specific technologies like programming languages, paradigms, frameworks, and libraries. Or specific hard tech
What a shame?
I would say it's more a good radar for what (software, mostly web) technologies are entering general awareness. If something might be successful one day, you'll probably find out about it. And then lots of those things will sputter out, but not all of them.
That's what's called NIMBYism. It seems to be much more prevalent farther west. California seems to be the crown jewel for them.
How will this work with embedded tweets?
This is true. Rural Vermont and New Hampshire have seen a lot of passive reforestation after farming moved to the Midwest. It took a few generations.

It doesn't always work though. There has to be enough left that it can grow back. And there can't be, say, new grazing animals that prevent that from happening. I'm thinking of, say, Easter Island, or arguably some of the North Atlantic islands like Iceland, Greenland... maybe even Britain (the moors used to be forests in prehistoric times).
Caught in the Crossfire over Covid’s Origins
Ok, instead of some handwaving from economist, I'd rather have Nature [1] with loads of good references and no paywall.

My point is that we simply do not know. The word 'usual' is deceptive here. Usual for the viruses we studied? Usual for all viruses? Usual for viruses which recently have made the jump to a new species? We do not know. We simply have no idea.
