Something similar is also being fought in Indian courts, where the government is on the hook for using the Pegasus spyware (bought from NSO) illegally. Indian laws permit lawful interception (wire-tapping etc), but do not allow hacking. As such, the government's usage of Pegasus was likely unconstitutional, and they are refusing to admit even the usage of Pegasus in court (or the existence of a contract with NSO).

The government is citing "national security" to avoid damage. A good legal summary is here: https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/pegasus-is-indias-wate...

Well, thank you for asking nice questions and reading my long posts. ;)

I must have missed some of the weekly io_uring posts, but it sure does look interesting. But I'm not working on anything performance driven at the moment, so not going to dig into it, certainly not enough to try to setup a good comparison for the three options. A tricky bit would be trying to get the test scenario to try to avoid the IP stack, so differences between IP handling on the two OSes isn't significant in the results. Comparing OS TCP performance is fun too, but we'd want to compare one thing at a time.
Whether passwords are considered testimony or not is not quite settled in US and Canada yet. There are instances where the court has determined that the accused can be forced to put their finger on the fingerprint reader of their device, but cannot be forced to give up their password. Although there are cases where the password was forced to be given up as well. Until this is resolved one way or another, passwords remain potentially safer than biometrics.
A fresh install is the solution to every windows problem. The issue is that we are not young anymore and we don't have the time to do it. Windows 10 being a quality disaster does not help either.
OP is a grifter, He has been flooding the reddit with similar bot spam. He has been called out on HN earlier for shady practices with advertisements on his products as well.

After gaming the algorithm, He posts the HN front page screenshot of his twitter and sends the organic traffic.
Not my experience. For a very quick test, I searched DDG for "omelette recipe, "carbonara recipe" and "peking duck recipe" (just to spice it up a bit) and all my top results are aggregators. Even "avgolemeono recipe" (which I'd think is very specialised) is aggregators on top.

To be honest, I don't follow recipes when I cook unless it's a dish I've never had before. At that point what I want is to understand the point of the dish. A list of ingredients and preparation instructions don't tell me what it's supposed to taste and smell like. The foodie blogs at least try to create a certain... feeling of place, I suppose, some kind of impression that guides you when you cook. I wouldn't say it always works but I appreciate the effort.

My real complaint with recipe writers is that they know how to cook one or two dishes well and they crib the rest off each other so even with all the information they provide, you still can't reliably cook a good meal from a recipe unless you've had the dish before. But that's my personal opinion.
It's kind of funny that in one post, one wants "brushed colored metals" and then complains about the modern, pointless design without function.

I'm not sure what general line of products you're talking about, but devices like phones and tablets surely have orders of magnitude more "thought and engineering" in them. The fact that you don't like the tradeoffs they provide doesn't mean they weren't engineered and considered.
> It's a shame that India hasn't jumped on the Thorium train.

I have been hearing about this all my life. And I don't think we will see any progress in our lifetimes. We have a cultural problem with over-promising and under-delivering regardless of who is in power.

We cannot even get regular nuclear power plants installed without interference from foreign NGOs interfering in Indian politics, local anti-nuclear fear-mongers and Christian churches.[1]

Endurance comes with practice. The trick with exercise and eating is figuring out what you need mentally in order to do it every day. And not “will power”! That’s how to fail. Pick positive things that keep you coming back. There are a million ways to exercise and eat, so explore. I’ll share some of mine only as examples, but seek out and experiment what things work on yourself. Do you want company, or prefer to exercise alone? Many people love classes, CrossFit, spinning, etc.

For running, I personally like pace music - a set of songs with the same BPM that I can run to. Or sometimes podcasts, audiobooks, or language lessons. I prefer to run outside when I can and take different routes every day. Smart small and don’t go too big too fast, increase your time no more than 10% per week. Biking is a way to explore the city. Sports like tennis or ultimate frisbee are a way to run while playing games. There are lots of meetup groups for hiking.

Changing eating habits is very hard. I started by tracking what I ate without trying to change it. Just monitoring by writing it down, looking up macros and calories, can help you see your inputs more clearly. If I count calories, it helps me mentally to save room for a treat at the end of the day. Counting calories did help me make better choices too; suddenly carrots and pickles seem like a way to cheat and eat something bulky and filling without blowing my budget, chips and cookies become easier to avoid because of how fast they use up my budget.
I'm not sure how to say this, but have you ever been to the sunset? There is nothing but space in large swaths of the city.

Hi Mike. The fact that you discard my comment based on the measure of "karma" or how "old" my account is just as childish and "talking smack" as what you insinuate I am doing. You believe you are on the side of good moral but you are merely on the side of the self proclaimed strong.

It's crashing. Seriosly is a good thing that they did not mention it although some people claimed it was stable on their computer.
> one accident like Fukushima could make things really chaotic quickly

The way to substantiate this is to look at data because otherwise it would lead to unnecessary scaremongering, precisely the things holding nuclear energy back amongst other reasons (cost, etc.)

Put it in another context with far greater consequences than Fukushima disaster - the current Coronavirus pandemic and possibility of links to Wuhan Lab, one accident and it shut down the world and caused millions of deaths. Far more than all nuclear tragedies combined. Not to mention, the economic toll and far reaching consequences of the society.

Kind of boggles my mind why the society doesn't look at Level 5 bio labs in the same exact or more serious way than Nuclear power plants. Even if Wuhan lab hypothesis is incorrect, we should have more resources and focus on how to make these GoF studies/Level 5 labs secure, and essentially as safe as nuclear power plants or better. Public awareness just isn't there.

Origins of Coronavirus should be investigated with 100x more rigor than 6 people touring the facility from WHO for 3 days only to see presumably a massive coverup.
To say deserved for a group of vaccines (they are prophilactics if you have to take one every few months to get benefits) that don't work, is astonishing by this dates, but nobody mentioning it's crazy. Pharma is a company that makes money from sick people, if that isn't enough for you, is one of many examples of why we are nnot going to make it as a species.
Platforms aren't a bunch of people. They're algorithmic constructs being executed by humans and computers and other constructs. Facebook, Twitter, etc, lack any meaningful human in the loop, but have evolved rules and behaviors that are more or less independent of human judgment.

The only way to get a rational human back in the mix is through legislation or litigation. Given sufficient repetition, eventually those things are abstracted and encoded again, in a cycle seemingly designed to prefer nonhuman control systems.
And their web sharing link works also without JS, which is quite uncommon for image sharing sites and a very nice find!
A vaccine so effective, it needs to be taken again every few months.

For treating COVID, it's almost as effective as horse worm medicine.

You aren't wrong. They have enormous energy problems thus are building everything at breakneck speed. They are however commited to carbon neutrality by 2060 so there is good reason to believe they intend to scale back coal as soon as they are able in favor of their nuclear and renewable generation is that capacity comes online.

China lives or dies on the approval of it's populace and they have made it abundantly clear that air quality and public health are what they care about and so it will be so.

> Is a fresh install not an option for the system you're describing? I'm not suggesting that it's a sane thing to have to do, but after a couple of hours of resesrching the problem with no leads it seems like the best choice.

A fresh install with my original media failed in the same way during updates.

A fresh install (on a spare HD) with the media creation tool worked once, but crashed and burned after the first time I ran Windows update. I might try again, but I'm a little worn out.

I actually wasted hours with MS chat support, but they offered no insight except running me through a fresh install script. Once I hit the end they started talking about BIOS updates. However that's an entirely different wall, because apparently my MB shipped with an update that's not recommended for my CPU, but I cannot downgrade. I'm now debating whether to shell out $$$ for CPU upgrade (not even to current gen), but the ones I want are out of stock and only being sold by iffy sellers.
The majority of companies don't give equity in the world. And those who do only give it to certain employees. As they don't violate RSU or stock compensation plans they didn't withheld equities.
If I created a successful company, I would also say that I would never sell. However $12B is multi-generational wealth and with it you can do anything you want. So that sum would also pursuade me.
I was admitted to Brazil 5 times under an allegedly expired visa.

I had no way of knowing it was expired, it’s not specified anywhere on the visa or in any Brazilian embassy/travel advisory site. But on the 6th time after it had expired, I finally hit an immigration agent who cared enough to turn me away or understand that it was expired. So this really tracks.
Do you need a warrant to obtain biometrics from somebody?
My thing is that the founders changed their mind about being acquired, so they could have changed their mind about employee equity at the same time. It's their right to do it how they did, but I also think the blowback is fair.
> Today I learned that Moderna (and maybe Pharma industry?) has better margins than Facebook.

Imagine if a spiked blogging platform that literally makes money by relative demotion of unpromoted content produced better margins than the creation of a life saving vaccine for all humanity. How insane that would be.

What's the difference with picking a random adjective and a random noun given the seed?

Foreigners get honorary knighthoods: Bill Gates, Steven Spielberg, Dwight Eisenhower etc. Apparently if you take up British Citizenship it automatically converts.
Some ISPs will throttle "looks like VPN traffic" on non-business lines. On the basis that VPN use is (apparently) a business thing.

Doesn't make much sense, but there's a lot of weird behaviour in the UK ISP business.

And as for what counts as "looks like VPN", I suspect they're just looking for GRE packets.
The capitalism machine doesn’t care about your humility or integrity even- only that you obey the letter of the law. I learned that the hard way, work isn’t a religion with morals, it’s work and there are rules.

Your second point however, “don’t be naive” agree 100%
Yoke and touch-based gear shifting was a subject of weekly (if not daily) threads on /r/teslamotors. And then a month or so ago, just like that, the stream of new posts about yoke dried up... just as if someone started deleting them on spot.

The real fun will be when the bulk deliveries start and people with reservations will be cancelling them because of the yoke. Because not everyone wants to drive a batmobile.
I actually used this trick to nuke my old (pre-google) youtube account that I lost the password to. They deleted it immediately.

Do you not see how someone can feel mislead if told X will not happen and X thing happens?

-

The rebuttal everyone in this thread is parroting is a tautology. Saying "things change". Yes by the very act of existing over a period of time a company will indeed have changed even if it's just age.

It's not a helpful response to how people feel, and again, you're always free to throw feelings in the trash in business... but at the very least have the courage to admit you're doing it. There's no reason to pretend you don't see why people don't like it

(And again Mailchimp's founders seemed to have that courage, hence the fund)
Ask HN: What do you think of AI generated news articles?
There's a website called www.fool.com.au which I'm fairly sure is algorithmically generating articles about publicly listed stocks.

If you Google the following phrase to find articles with the stock ticker (APT: After Pay) on the site fool.com.au

"APT" site:www.fool.com.au

You end up getting 10,000 results, majority of which are unique articles containing 2 or 3 paragraphs of text. They release a new article every few hours in some cases, just to show up in Google's "News" results.

I don't believe a human is manually writing about a single stock for 10,000 articles, so in my view it's highly likely that these are driven by some kind of article-writing software, GPT-3 could easily write these things from what I've seen.

Is it unethical of the website to do this? Should google demote these results? Or label it as "Generated by AI"?
It's traceable with a US warrant.

If you are outside the US this is sufficient protection for many people. For example even close US allies (eg five eyes) have to go through the US court system to get this warrant, and that is a slow, annoying process when you aren't based in the US.

It raises the level of friction to meaning it will only happen for somewhat major investigations. If you are a major drug dealer, then yes, they'll do it. If they catch you with some small amount of some drug, then it's unlikely they'll chase it.
There is a good solution - culture and positive social feedback loops. That's also the hardest thing to get right, dependent on shared values and open communication and people wanting to participate.
The difference about before and now is clear.

Cost of self-hosting is low and increased algorithmic control over content is making UX unbearable for artistic use cases.

That is my point. It is obvious that content silos will be monetized and explored to the infinity, but there is a point where "the common denominator" sanitized content is barely bearable.
:)
If your threat isn't a government level threat, then a digital ocean based VPN probably gives enough protection.
not sure if a man would be facing trial, too, but would def support it.

i started to read this article but couldn't finish -- i just thought it was outlandish.

i'm been beating back my inner male chauvinist for decades -- which makes me pretty confident that playing the feminist card here is bullshit.

is the question answered on who or how many people were harmed or killed by Theranos?

if it's 'nobody' or 'not many' and truly 'not much harm', then i guess i don't care -- let her skate like the men would.

but if she and her co-conspirators ended up harming or killing people -- jail.

i do wonder if there is too strong of a cult of killing in the Valley.

like, anybody can be a criminal -- but how bad ass are you, really?

kind of like cheating in nascar or baseball -- the one-upsmanship -- some significant percentage of the fans _want_ you to cheat, and everybody in the game knows 100% you're cheating, in part because they're cheating, too (game respect game), but how far are you really willing to go to achieve fame and fortune and gain the respect of cheaters everywhere? are you willing to potentially kill people?

you run a monopoly? tired.

you built a real estate bubble off of one investor with way too much money and a bunch of lazy follow-up money? eh. nice, but did anybody but a few worker bees get 'harmed'?

you broke covid protocols and got some people killed? getting warmer.

oh - _you_ managed to sway an election, dial up the hatred in a few places, and get more than a few people killed in some riots. impressive, but you were really just stoking the flames a bit, right?

whoa -- you _faked_ cancer screening blood tests?? holy shit. are you still taking investments??
Start slow but stay consistent. Dedicate some time each day. Do it every day you can. Push yourself a little more each week.

It's similar in Germany. Police may just take your finger and put it on the sensor. But you can't be forced to give out your password.
Thanks so much for the extensive reply! There’s a lot to chew on in there.

I think I’d be comfortable implementing the first kind of macro (switch-key) in my own programs because it’s quite targeted in its goal and encapsulates some stuff to make the overall flow more readable. This makes sense to me, and I’m thinking about how they could improve my learning project. I probably just have to try sprinkling some in to get a better feel for them.

Your second example (define-event) is more foreign to me, likely because I’m working in Clojure. Compile-time correctness checking isn’t really a thing there, and debugging is improving but (from what I hear) nothing like other Lisps. That leaves using imperative macros to create top-level functions / classes / hash table entries, and that’s beyond my current level of need/understanding and may not be idiomatic for the language. I don’t know enough to say for sure.

Your last example definitely illustrates “prefer data over functions over macros.” Your estimate of 20 functions : 1 macro is also good evidence for at least the second half of that, too.

It's trying, but progress is slow
Which is exactly why we should be hoping this works. Given the way the Chinese economy works - being state controlled and all - if it takes off I expect they will start replacing coal plants with this, well before EOL. In the West it would he much harder to do that.
Welcome to 21st century globalism. When you build an entire society around fundamental economic power, what do you think you'll get? Not that?

Heh, I've heard it many times, the only problem with nuclear energy is politics.

In particular Fukushima was in a stupid place, engineers were well aware of the the many 100s of years of experience with earthquakes in the ring of fire and calculated that a large expensive wall would be required to protect plant. The sensible place to put the plant was in a different prefecture.

Politics intruded, the plant was put in a stupid place, and the expensive wall was shrunk.
Gave it a go with two different queries. The first I chose was “amazon vendor services” didn’t get a single result about the topic.

The second query was a nation+city(in the nation). Got a lot of result that were in no way related to either.

It seems to be biased towards IT topics (based uniquely on the two queries).
