> so not "Rural and working class white people", unless you think those attributes are fundamentally a part of being "Rural and working class white".

No, but the New York Times does, insofar as it’s constantly calling all Trump voters white supremacists. (Clinton was gracious, she called only “half” of Trump supporters “deplorables.”)

More to the point, whatever the personal moral shortcomings of rural white Trump voters, they don’t have any power. The media smoothly segues from talking about systemic racism to talking about the personal prejudices of individual Trump voters. But the people who control the systems are woke. The Black-white wealth gap results from folks on Wall Street who read Robin Di Angelo, not folks in Lincoln City, OR who don’t want her ideas taught in their elementary schools.

Wokeness is a white hedge fund manager putting his arm around a white Wal-Mart greeter and admitting that white people are the reason for persistent racial wealth gaps (but at least he’s “doing the work”).
This reads like something from The Onion
There was a brief discussion 3 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28385517
Interest or it was boring but the reward was big enough.
In this case it was[1] a huge artificial forest of eucalyptus. They grow pretty fast without those nasty koalas nearby. You can cut them and they regrow from the roots, but after a few times they planted new trees.

I'm not sure if they replaced the local forest with the eucalyptus, but my guess is that the areas was already used to cultivate corn, tobacco, sugar cane or something.

[1] I'm not sure about the current state. My guess is that it is still there, but that steel mill had a complicated story in the last 30 years.
Nothing wrong with government subsidized rail. The government subsidizes cars too by funding the roads. I assume you're not in favor of turning all interstates into toll roads? Also in the end it's cheaper to get started with laying down rail early than to wait until after people have moved into the area and you have to displace some of them in order to build the rail line.
This is like how people conflate psychosomatic effects as somehow ‘fake’, which they certainly aren’t. Your brain controls a lot and can cause a lot of very real not fake damage.
No. Not forcing women to use black market methods of abortion is progress. They happen regardless.

Probably not. Don’t know much about TikTok, but if I click a link on YouTube, barely watching the video, my recommendations will be spammed with similar filth forever - and it seems to be pushing certain channels or types of videos.

Educated guess, as I’ve no idea how these things work - videos I’m more likely to share will be recommended, bringing controversial content to the top
It is hardware that just works with Linux. I like that. A modern Dell with Linux, fex, has had a number of driver/hw issues. The system76 didn't have those issues.

Sturdiness is a bit lacking tho. Could stand to have more weight and metal.

N.b., I don't really care about "modern design", it's a way of extracting money from buyers without added capabilities. :)
To be clear, are you saying that you think people opposed to the mask mandates are equivalent to/worse than drunk drivers?

Of course! One of the few games that is massively multiplayer all in the same persistent, connected world is Eve Online, and the dynamics that arise from its economy and faction warfare are fascinating!
Yours is a vague and disrespectful response that does not really contribute to the conversation.

You suggest that I'm uninformed, yet do not specify what I've missed or provide any sources. You've spoken down to me and offered vague generalities as to why your hysterical repulsion is justified but can't actually articulate the issues - instead only appealing to the EFF and offering a paltry 'hint' as if your perspective were somehow self evident.

My position stands. However yours needs some clarification. You seem to suggest that expectations of privacy, due process, and 'who owns what' (you could just say 'ownership' here) somehow doesn't apply to Facebook? Or that they have somehow satisfied those concerns? Facebook? That point is plainly absurd, they are among the most abusive in this regard - as supported by hundreds of articles on the much vaunted EFF's site[1].

If Apple's approach, which I've characterized as 'performing the mundane hashing on-device' is really and truly repulsive, please do elaborate. I'm sincere in saying that I want to know. And if you can be bothered, please also clear up the matter of how the other Big Tech organizations have managed to accomplish this same law enforcement obligation to your satisfaction.

Just grow nerves to the stem of the brain. Axons could do it, they did for everyone who was born with healthy eyes.

It would be quite an achievement though, because axons navigate their way by a gradients of some chemicals, which probably dissipate with age.

And problems will not end when nerves have grown. Brains would need to learn how to use them.
Not in the field, so genuine question: what is the evidence/theory to support the notion that deep learning is at all a reasonable route towards AGI? As I understand, this is nothing like how actual neurons work - and since they are the only "hardware" which has ever demonstrated general intelligence hoping for AGI from current computational neural networks feel like a stretch, at best.

Back in the precovid 3rd world I met people who took very dubious / polluted / rotten stuff as a "purge".

a. The placebo effect is real. A bout of induced vomiting and diarrhea makes whatever you are left with feel less worse than that...

b. They couldn't afford 1st world doctors and medicine anyway.

c. They were desperate.

d. Scoundrels preyed on their desperation.
No, but they aren't even trying. They treat it as a generalist post. There are scholarships for pilots, nuclear engineers, and so on that place them in specific jobs in the military. That's something they could start now for IT.

No, It is a reaction between buried iron oxide and water. This is very high temperature high pressure reaction. The iron oxide changes oxidation state, releasing hydrogen.

They know the proportion of cases due to each variant. They just can't use the test that determines the variant for diagnostic purposes as that requires separate approval.
The most fun I had with Sub7 (or maybe it was Netbus?) was opening the CD-ROM drives of computers in the computer lab and watching people's reactions. Good times....
That’s changing the conversation isn’t it? The reality is cloud providers have been doing this for over a decade. This is the norm for better or worse.

Apple just now implemented this in the most privacy conscious way possible and it seems like they’re taking the brunt of the PR damage.

If anything this tells me Apple are trying to do the right thing whereas the other companies didn’t even bother trying.

That’s why it’s confusing when people are swearing off Apple and switching to . . . Google? Samsung?

(Disclaimer: I work on google's quantum team and I'm not gonna read the patent for legal reasons.)

From the perspective of someone in the field, the title of this article sounds kinda funny. The notable thing would be if the design of some large scale quantum system somehow avoided teleportation. Imagine an article that said "AMD proposes transistors to make computing more efficient" and you'll get a sense of what I mean.

Teleportation is one of the first things you will learn about in an introductory quantum computing course. It is an incredibly useful building block, with even more useful generalizations (e.g. gate teleportation [1], delayed-choice routing [2]; I gave a tutorial on this topic last year [3], although it wasn't targeted at beginners so maybe HN is the wrong audience). It is not surprising to see teleportation in quantum architectures.

For 9 months I have eaten porridge, a banana and sugar free syrup for breakfast (sometimes eggs, beans and a pancake). I eat vegetable curry most days for lunch. I eat 2-4 pieces of fruit a day. I don't think much about dinner, I eat anything really. I don't eat after dinner. I walk for 45 minutes each day. I have lost 60lbs in weight. A quarter of my body weight.
It's crazy for a near-commodity with ample supply, but if there's a supply shortage and (in the short-term) inelastic demand - because it's a relatively cheap thing that's required for a much larger product - then it may easily be economically effective to restrict supply instead of filling it.

E.g. if you can make 100k widgets for all of which you have customers at a dollar each, then in a supply shortage with limited alternatives you may find that if you credibly cut supply to 80k widgets, so that some customers will actually be left out, then they might be willing to pay two dollars per widget (so, 160k instead of 100k for that toy example), so you get more money for less goods.

I see no reason for why the imposition of yet another tax would make the market any less free then it always have been. It will adapt given the constraints applied.

We need to educate the young to make sensible decisions. It doesnt really matter if TikTok, FB, the foobar challenge, or something else is the current culprit. The world is full of crazy things. People need to navigate that anyway.
That's comparing apples and oranges. Perhaps, fish have free will, but this conversation is about human beings, where we have the internal laboratory apparatus required for introspection and determination. We can create hypothesis and tests, then inspect results. We are directly able to test, through choice, to prove that we have free will. It is foolish to compare yourself to a fish, though your ability to compare your mentality to that of a fish was your free choice made from your own free will.
I believe the women, and my own eyes and ears.

Edit: A science fiction convention is not a workplace, and as the butts of his joke about burning down his house, Mike and I (who he also calls "Evil Software Hoarders" because we worked for UniPress on his enemy Gosling Emacs) are in the unique position of deciding whether it's offensive to us or not, not you. And we both thought it was hilarious, as he meant us to take it, especially his without-missing-a-beat dead-pan delivery.

Also we weren't co-workers, we fought on opposite sides of the Emacs Wars, but we hung out at science fiction conventions and at each other's homes, and were friendly and civil in person (at least enough to know if he accused us of burning down his house, he was only joking, and that if he asked me to hold a bush out of his way, he really meant it).

And I was taking photos of the guy you rudely accuse of being a creepy spoiled brat while you lectured me about making fun of people, because he is my friend, and we were having a fun time climbing the trees at his house, not mocking RMS or even thinking about him at the time. It just so happens that was the roof of the same house that burnt down later, and the same tree that RMS was afraid of, and somebody asked for proof, so I gave what I had. Do you need more proof? (Gumby: I'm sure you have some stories! ;) )

Just come out and say you don't believe the women, and stop lecturing me on civility while baselessly calling my friend a creepy spoiled brat, m'kay? ;)
One thing the article doesn’t mention is that it takes massive amounts of energy to produce hybrit. LKAB (Government owned ore mining company) will require 55 TWh by the year 2045. That is more than the entire nuclear power production in Sweden today.

On top of that the users of hybrit ore (like SSAB, mentioned in the article) to make steel also requires more energy.

They say they will use electrolysis to create hydrogen from water and a renewable energy source. If they can make that much hydrogen on that scale is unknown.
The problem in my opinion is that some of this social change erodes the very foundation of society and us as a species. I'm not talking about who rules or by what means we select them by but rather things that even define us as a species, what's the norm for humankind is under constant attack with the excuse of inclusiveness.
And you'd be right.

It is the parents responsibility and they fail often.

My SO works in a kindergarden and has to attempt to fix this. Luckily the fact that parents now have to leave their kids there for most of their wake hours does help. At least in good kindergardens. You can ask around, you'll see the problems that new media, as a tool for parents to keep their kids off their hands causes everywhere. Those ticks are just the peak of the ice berg here because there is no way around recognising the tool. The other damage is more subtle. We'll be faced with generations of media zombies and it's kinda frightening.

I've seen a kid once left alone with a tablet in the waiting room while they've been visiting the doctor. I've been passing by and usually I say "hi" or something like that to the waiting patients but this kid didn't even blink. I've watched it over half an hour and it didn't move at all. Than the parent came out, said no word, grabbed the kid, the kid the tablet without it's eyes from it and they just floated out.

This is 21st century parenting for you...
If they started out as an MSFT venture, they probably would be called something else.

The reality is, they have a lot of mouths to feed, and the money was going to have to come from somewhere.

I think it's fair to be cynical, but the name itself is an artifact of history.

Perhaps if they were more truly authentic, they'd have nudged the name as well, but I think the concerns should most be over the materiality of their actual 'openness' in operations, not so much the name.
So if I were to make a daft assumption that frankly, no one needs DNS, and then the NSA were to bring out a DNS infra hardening guide then I would also be correct?

I don’t think you understand how signed packages work. They give you the ability to be sure you are installing software packaged by an entity you trust, regardless of where you get the package.
The best of what's available at the moment is (IMHO):

David Z. Albert, "Quantum Mechanics and Experience"

Tim Maudlin, "Philosophy of Science: Quantum Mechanics" (Space and Time is also a good read.)

But I'm actually contemplating writing a book of my own because I think there's still a pretty significant gap insofar as none of these books get into quantum information theory at all, which I think is crucial to having a really solid understanding.

Another really good book is this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Challenge-Foundations-Mechani...

though it's a tad pricey, but it's actually a really good mix of technical and historical content because it describes the experiments that were done to show that the many unintuitive predictions of QM are actually true.
I am typing on a system 76 laptop that I have had for a few years. The hardware is fine, the manufacturing of Clevo is subpar though. I have had to replace a keyboard, my display is falling out of the casing, and the display itself has a number of dead pixels. The power supply has died. The encasement around the power port is broken.

Replacing the keyboard was a hassle, and I ended up ordering from overseas having to wait months to receive it.

Still, there is very little about a System76 laptop that is actually from System76.

Would I recommend System76 laptop? I am not sure why, as they are essentially a store front for other brands. Would I recommend a Clevo? Absolutely not.

Me too. Started writing bots that offer mIRC file downloads and then I had to learn Linux because that was what our only server had installed.
I understand. That only moves the problem to where you get the signature from, it doesn't solve it (unless you are using a central repo you already trust for example). Therefore binary packages shipped on a GitHub releases page alongside a signature file still face the same issue. An attacker simply has to replace both the package and the signature with one they control. It is nothing to do with the packaging format being a deb file instead of an install script, the issue applies in either case.
Ask HN: Which developers should I follow?
I had a great mentor that recently left. I learned immensely from reviewing their code and having them review my changes. Their reviews dramatically changed how I structure interfaces and code.

To keep learning more, I would like to read other developer's code. Which codebases should I follow to see how other people write clean and clear code?

Adoption still places the parents under the duress of the medical bills up to the point of adoption, nor does it address the extreme physical duress it places the mother under.

Additionally, it does not address cases of rape, incest, pregnancies which have a high chance of killing the mother, or children with severe defects (who are likely to remain in foster homes, in the average-to-good case).

To share specific examples here would be irresponsible. But qualitatively speaking, one could argue that viral media are mild forms of memetic hazard propelling irrational, conspiratorial, or even extremist behavior in the real world. While the internet has many positive effects on our society, regardless of your political orientation, I think most would agree that instant, unfettered access to information can also lead to dysfunctional side-effects.

At least in the US many words and opinions have been off-limits for a hundred years or more. Death threats are the obvious one, but various types of political or religious views have been off limits (which specific ones has varied of course). In the jim crow south you definitely would get beaten or worse if you espoused views of racial equality, and communist/socialist politics have at various points been enough to get you fired and blacklisted in many industries (still are, sometimes).
Hey everyone,

Fırat from Permify here. Me and my co-founders build Permify so that you can easily create roles & permission management service for your apps.

- It lets you build permission management without doing the repetitive work

- Your users can create custom scalable roles for their own needs without needing you to build for them.

- It makes your apps faster by handling requests faster through in-memory cache system.

- You can easily connect our customizable Role Management UI.

We build it for indie developers who like to build side projects and products. So that you can build the products without the burden of doing the repetitive work.

We're around feel free to ask anything :)
I think there’s a third problem. Docker on MacOS is still pretty buggy. After all these years there are still issues that cause it to use 30% CPU when idle on my Mac, and I’m sure I’m not alone. If docker on Mac was rock solid then I’d probably look more kindly on this.

We aren’t even big enough for this to affect us, it is just one more reason for us to look at how we can remove docker from our desktop infrastructure and replace it with something that makes us more efficient.
