And the response to that is that they're well funded to resist those attacks by the government, so it will end up being a drain on resources on both sides. legal MAD, if you will.
I’m used to it in public engagements too, with respect to civic planning. It features in the story/movie The Best of Enemies[0], set in contentious public policy hearings. Worth watching.

Yeah I wasn't really planning for this to blow up like it did today. It's currently sitting at about 35% of the index size I usually aim for, so besides the stuff I can't index because it's behind CDNs, there's a lot of pages it just hasn't gotten to yet. playwright.dev is pretty low on the priority list because it has a metric crap-ton of javascript on its front page. The crawler has visited it, looked at it, and put it very far down the priority queue.
First one looks like a giant dirty waffle and the rest aren't much better. Almost brutalist. We need to start encouraging architects to get their vision checked regularly before we find every part of the country has been transformed into a never ending grungy dystopian soul sucking landscape.

This true and really nice, as long as long as you are Okay with copy-pasting everything mindlessly without serious customizations. It's like being a wizard who would invoke some specific spells by reciting specific phrases in an ancient language without having any idea of the actual language and the nature of the magic while knowing them would let him achieve much much more, easily and elegantly.

That's not a buffering issue (as others mentioned before, 20s would be quite a buffer). G.hn made the same mistake as dial-up modem long time ago: implementing forward error correction. That's a great feature on a space probe leaving the solar system, but not for peers on a LAN talking TCP, as that does performs its own error correction (as is well known). If some link layer hiccup occurs, the forward error correction of the link layer causes delays potentially causing re-transmissions on the TCP layer (check with `netstat -s`).
It's primarily used with a server, correct. However, you can use `next export` which will generate only static assets (like HTML, JS, and CSS). Certain features aren't available that require a server (like i18n routing) but you can still do a lot!
Well, for fascists it's often true because they choose enemies that are actually simply weak (as having shadowy enemies that can be portrayed as both weak and strong is necessary for fascism). The state is not weak at all, and it is indeed often incompetent. I think your argument is simply overfitting.

What motherboard/gpu did you use for that?
Sure, and that's objectively a weird position to take for someone who appears to be as empathetic as he is.

But it (as you observe) does not reflect 'the party policies' - simply the current elected leader. And while that's obviously important, it doesn't necessarily define policy of either party of (current) administration.

The fact it's at odds with what the majority of the rest of the party would advocate speaks to my earlier claim / question.
Okay, so we should not give exemptions to specific categories of people who are a priori assumed to be good. I think that's fair. Are you concerned that that's the situation in the original context? Or would be, if we somehow knew who the original commenter was talking about?

"Sorry To Bother You" wasn't supposed to be an instruction manual
Hypervisor.framework (and Virtualization.framework) in macOS run a Apple written hypervisor. This hypervisor implements VirtIO for its devices and can run macOS VMs (with full graphics and hardware acceleration, at least on the M1). One could conclude that it was implemented this way to allow compatibility for macOS on different hypervisors (and also so that Linux would just work on theirs).

Speculation: I would be surprised if there isn’t a team internally working on a stripped down variant of macOS (or just Darwin + drivers?) designed for deployment as a server so that they can drop a bunch of racks of Mac Minis (or, with budget, some kind of blade arrangement with a Apple Silicon chip on it) into a datacenter and build a huge build farm (using VMs to run iOS and macOS, or jails if they ever get some kind of container setup). It would be dramatically better than having to manage x86 and all that extra bloat of average servers once you got through the growing pains. And they could guarantee security way better.
Sounds like sexism to me.

It seems this is the problem with our representative democracy. The system is designed to impede and frustrate good-faith efforts by throwing up a bunch of barriers and then offering opportunities to compromise your principles to get past them.

It's like a freemium game that you pay for by gradually selling out to those who already have power. Sure, theoretically it's possible to win the freemium game without selling out, but that theoretical possibility serves only as marketing for the game itself.

I love that attitude and I totally agree with the sentiment. Just experimenting is how you learn best.

Especially in those days it was a unique sentiment. Most devices came with long instruction manuals which people would actually read, and even schematics. Until the home computer came, only educated professionals were allowed to go near computers. I think Steven Levy called them the IBM high priests in his book "Hackers". It's old but a good read.

Now nobody reads the couple of pages that come with their new phone. Good.
I hate the UI after Win 7. For years all users that needed to dig into setting knew exactly where they were. Now they expose some through a clunky UI and you have to go digging for that that are, in fact, just the same old UI. Which has to create confusion for many users presented with their new UI only to be thrown into a totally different UI style.

The new UI should 1) actually expose all of the settings and 2) offer a toggle to default to the UI that sits behind everything anyway.

Otherwise, I just don't understand the need to tweak with UI design that roughly 20 years of Windows users have already learned.

I don’t think it can be direct causation. People attribute religion to whatever they want. I doubt that anything in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and most other religions say anything against vaccination.

Curious to hear more about this. Is censorship "removal" or simply not getting votes? I've seen this concept generally addressed here before as "we don't censor, people just vote this way"
I made a similar joke in front of some coworkers recently and nobody got it. Reminds me how small some of the bubbles we live in are.
The black communities are a captive audience -- they historically do not vote Republican and therefore Democrats of all stripes and sizes can spew vitriol without consequence.

You can't actually discuss anything on HN that goes against the moderator's petty ideologies (or yc's profit motive) without being censored. Turn on show dead and take a scroll through nearly any topic.

Every generation thinks the next generation’s rules are tyrannical. Speech and culture is messy and it’s not black and white. To say it’s all been bad is ignoring a lot of violent speech that is no longer acceptable and the benefit that has brought to the the same small minority groups you’re referencing, from being less subjected to verbal attacks.

>Effectively, they externalized the costs of losing the massive geopolitical/economic strategic advantage onto future generations, who will have to deal with the fallout of an authoritarian regime in a very strong geopolitical position.

Where's the line between "massive money sink" and "investments for 'geopolitical/economic strategic advantage'"? Afghan/iraq reconstruction? Belt and road initiative? Hell, you could even argue some of the favorable treatment given to china was for "geopolitical/economic strategic advantage", because the hope was that they'd move away from communism.

I absolutely love this library. I've used several ui toolkits before, and mui is my favorite. It's consistent, very well made, focused on react and responsible with not introducing unexpected breaking changes (unlike another popular library which I used to use).

Also, I was surprised how well the codemod worked with the migration to v5. I've migrated a large code base and almost didn't have to do anything.

The only thing I'm not a big fan of is that using the new 'sx' prop, the styling becomes very specific to the library. But I guess it's more of an issue with the fragmented state of styling in react. I think it'll stick with the 'styled' api since it's more generic.

Great job and thank you!
Issues like “33% of validators by stake concentration going down could lead to block production halting” is exactly why systems like DAG-based networks would make great Ethereum L2 networks.

They can have speed and low cost, which inheriting the security of Ethereum. At the same time, if block production ever stopped (like we just saw with Solana), all users can still retrieve their funds by forcing a withdraw back to the Ethereum mainnet.

Networks with low attack thresholds shouldn’t be operating as L1s.

I use and like FoalTS. It is a typescript server framework layered over express. It has good documentation, is opinionated about structure and provides a decent CLI for adding controllers, entities, tests, etc. It also includes typeorm for database entity integration. As a bonus OpenAPI support is included to help automate documentation generation for your REST API.

What I have in mind is not refusing to do the research at a society level. That’s what I personally chose to do, but others may see it differently. The research will get done if it’s valuable.

What I’m talking about is twofold: a cultural recognition and appreciation of the ethical issues, and secondly appropriate safeguards to prevent maluse of said technology, where appropriate.

Take nuclear weapons for instance. I personally wouldn’t have involved myself in building them, but others did and here we are. We as a society don’t just let that technology run amok though. There are laws about their proliferation, organizations dedicated to keeping their use in check, and a society-level understanding that their use have such terrible consequences that they can never, ever be taken lightly.

With this environment, so far we’ve averted armed nuclear conflict. But it’s important to realize this is a purposeful thing. People dedicate their lives to this pursuit. It takes effort to build this shared understanding of their dangers.

I agree with you that an individual researcher is not to blame if they are doing careful, considered research. If the attitude is “the implications of my research are not my concern. That is for someone else to worry about” then I do have a problem with that. And yes, that is a real opinion I have heard expressed by a researcher in deep fakes, and it deeply dismayed me.
Windows used to be good UI but unstable and slow. Now it's stable and quite fast with bad UI.

Censorship is really only an issue if you expect to monetize your videos. Self hosting content has always been an option if you don't need a platform that enables easy monetization. At least that is the feedback I have received from many of the youtubers that I suggested just building their own site.
Do we have so many of them that we are running out of dumping grounds? Are they made of rare, hard-to-obtain stuff? Are they toxic or otherwise dangerous?

I suppose all the answers to the above questions are negative. If so, let them pile up. We will recycle them as we learn an economical way to do that.

(For hundreds of millions of years, mollusks did not recycle their calcite shells. It had major ecological and even geological consequences. Now we have literal mountains of them. Has even it made Earth a worse place? Some old blades are nothing in comparison.)
I don't think that's true. I think the murder-for-hire scheme is a predicate on the conspiracy charge he was ultimately convicted for, in the main trial.
> This is a good change. It doesn’t allow people to hide behind the shield of “good intentions” while refusing to change their behavior.

I just had a negative emotional response to your perspective on this subject. It made me slightly upset that someone would think that this is a good change.

Should you change your perspective now that you've `learn[ed] of its negative impact on others`, or should I get over it and recognize that other people can have different opinions and I shouldn't let that affect me?
But this case is interesting. Because when you run someone over, you can physically observe the damage done to them. But when you communicate in a manner that upsets someone, it’s impossible to objectively observe the impact. And worse: it is strongly personal.

And that is where a truly ridiculous but also entirely reasonable question comes in: how much of someone being impacted by speech online is really kind of their responsibility? It can’t be zero because zero would be completely incompatible with free society; protected speech can necessarily cause discomfort or pain, and realistically with increasingly many perspectives you’re bound to find someone hurt by something. It probably shouldn’t be 100% either, because there’s no amount of thick skin that can’t ever be broken. Somewhere down the middle is a spot where people have to conduct themselves reasonably, but there is some expectation for personal resilience in the face of adversity in communication.

I suspect that a whole lot of conflict regarding CoC’s, moderation, etc. comes from people who believe more or less responsibility belongs with the person who is impacted by given speech. And it is not culturally universal, either. People may scoff at the concept but if your vernacular differs in a way that is upsetting to someone due purely to cultural differences, there may never be a position to stand in that is truly “inclusive to all.”

Effective inclusivity in a community without some degree of compromise by its members is probably impossible, and I worry the group dynamics of modern communities does not mesh terribly well with this concept, on an internet where everything is constantly decontextualized.
That's such an arrogant, condescending statement. You're assuming that the general population is too stupid to be trusted with unfiltered information. But theories aren't dangerous. Actions are dangerous.
You’re assuming that “technical” people, as you call them, cannot be great at marketing. If you’re only “good” at marketing that means you have no skills and in fact you self-select not to learn anything. That is a deadweight in any organization. It’s 2021. You should be able to wear multiple hats as a founder.

Edit: by the way, I much rather find a founder with investment banking background than marketing background. 100/100.

Yeah puncturing a roof is a big no-no - it can lead to water or structural damage to the house. Most companies (including ours) offer a warranty for it, and they did come out and fix it with some wood putty and paint, but we're still a little pissed. The also damaged the driveway (we're on a steep hill with a private drive, and told them that they can't drive large trucks up it, but they did anyway). And they seem completely incompetent for the first 2-3 times coming out and fixing it, until they finally gave up on subcontractors and sent their own guys out.
