tbh i'd rather a single x2 and 2-3 a78's myself.

it's really really really going to come down to power consumption. apple just released a phone that can stream video for 28 hours straight. that shouldn't be cpu critical at all, but i still have this feeling that this phone is not going to be power-efficient, that even as one of the first 5nm, it's battery life is not going to be at all impressive.

and it's cores are all already ~2 years old.

Good thing it's not just one citizen then. Is the government going to nuke/drone all its citizens? If not, then they have to have some presence on the ground. At which point I'll take having arms vs nothing.

> At the core of YouTube's censorship is the idea that people aren't intelligent or wise enough to know what kinds of videos they should watch. They don't know what's good for them.

I'm not sure I'd agree. I think that's putting far too much faith in them.

YouTube's goal, roughly stated, is "More Hours Watched." This, in whatever form is appropriate, is pretty much the end goal of any social media sharing handwave etc platform. More eyeball-hours to sell ads to.

For a while, YouTube's algorithms (which I think are almost certainly too dumb to have any idea what a video is about) pushed conspiracy theory content for the simple reason that if you can get someone watching conspiracy theory content on YouTube, they're very likely to continue watching conspiracy theory content on YouTube. Of the people who watch video 1234, 30% of them then watch dramatically more YouTube afterwards, so the more people you can show video 1234 to, the more hours will be watched - think "paperclip maximizer," not "Muahaha, we will drive people down conspiracy rabbit holes!"

Of course, do this long enough, and eventually you have a problem - bad press coverage about how you're driving people down conspiracy rabbit holes. Whoops. But the problem here, from YouTube's perspective, isn't that you're driving people down conspiracy theory rabbit holes - it's the standard tech industry problem that you're getting bad press for it. Bad press is bad for hours viewed. So you fix the problem, and issue the standard tech industry appy polly loggy - "We are so, so sorry you caught us doing this and we will do the work to ensure that you don't catch us doing it in the future."

I don't think YouTube particularly cares about Covid misinformation or [whatever]. They care about the bad press from being seen hosting it, which might impact people's opinion of them and reduce hours watched.

To claim that the algorithms understand anything beyond the title or such is to claim a capability that has no evidence for existing.
"Small government."
I do sympathize with him, and I think his specific content should be available on YouTube, but I can also see why YouTube would want to ban him. If I'm YouTube, and I don't really understand anything about biohacking, do I really want to take the risk of promoting material about making your own vaccines? Sure, this guy's content is informative and valuable, but it wouldn't be long before you have someone less competent promoting a self-made vaccine that kills someone. If YouTube doesn't feel it has the expertise to distinguish the two, I can see why it would be prudent to just ban them all.
In that case I wonder if the guest OS would pick up the AT interface of the modem on /dev/ttyUSB0.

Especially on an M1, perhaps running the arm builds wouldn't have too much overhead either, even though there are x86-64 images available as well.
>I couldn't care less for this shit. "Yes I understand the necessity of censorship. But not me. I've worked at NASA. I've published 'a number of papers.'" Lol.

There are situations where you have someone who truly has deep merit meeting someone who believes they do and who and tries to relate to the former, but is so far disconnected that they have categorically different experience which immediately disqualifies the latter, but the general public would be unable to recognize, yet it would take significant effort for the former to explain the situation to an extent the public could understand, and at risk to the emotions and ego of the latter. Surely you can relate to this situation to some extent?

That single "improvement" will keep me away for as long as possible. It's the first thing I change when setting up a new Windows environment, and have done it for over a decade. I'm enough not alone that I've seen in mentioned in multiple articles.

MS makes all kinds of noise about "reworking the UI from the ground up for true usability" or some such. Yet I have no idea what could possibly be the benefit to removing such functionality. MS says they listen, but obviously not.

Sheesh, another Windows 8 debacle coming at us.
Congratulations on never having encountered a police officer. If you do, you'll be very aware of the fact that they're treating you as if you were armed. I am aware of it, and I'm not even black -- and I've seen how much worse it is for black people.

Congrats, also, on graduating school before school shootings became a big thing. Me, too. It was great not having to go through metal detectors on my way to class.

I am sorry you don't ever fly, though. It's not a lot of fun, but there are a lot of great places to go, and it's usually worth the hassle of being checked for guns.

PIA (yeah, I know they are owned by a dodgy company now, and I sound like a shill by suggesting them) does really well. No problem maxing a gigabit connection, and their peering is even better than my ISP a lot of the time - I get lower latency when playing games on US servers when using their network.

Not weird to suggest that an organization's website should serve as that organization's knowledge repository. Weird is the tradition of building out websites that are little more than Potemkin villages for the entity they represent. A Engelbart-style DKR <https://www.dougengelbart.org/content/view/190/> is certainly not bizarre as willingly participating in the inconvenience of relying on out-of-band documentation like a README that exists only in the source repository that lives on, say, GitHub, and a set of scripts/binaries that you have to download/install/configure separately and whose esoteric conventions you will have forgotten by the next time you try to update the site a year and a half later <https://corytheboyd.com/posts/2020-03-09>—or worse, you find those tools no longer work, even though you do remember how to use them.

Much appreciated! The first looks to be an example of how to register the handler through an installer, instead of the registry hack I'm doing (since MS only wants things actually installed and visible in Add/Remove programs to be protocol handlers, for obvious reasons, even if annoying), and the second isn't barely related, it's looks to be essentially the same thing but in C.

That might have worked, if they had let the best one win. Instead, they treated the teams like a buffet - I'll take this app from this team, and that app from that team... and the result is, as you say, a mess.
Probably anyone that commutes into Manhattan (NYC) experiences the cattle-car experience of the regional mass transit system, which is supposedly the best in the US, but leaves a lot to be desired compared to comparable systems in cities like Tokyo or Seoul.

Not having to commute into Manhattan is reason enough for me to vastly prefer WFH. An enormous amount of collective time is wasted by the millions of workers who a make that commute every day.
Marketing is one of the most overrated functions. You don’t need a founder whose sole function is to hack marketing. It’s a deadweight. There’s a reason why there are so many unemployed MBAs. You’re much better off finding someone who can do finance/accounting and market as an added bonus. Buying into someone who can only market is same as buying into a ponzi scheme.
Unfortunately this is just a fundamental lack of knowledge on the part of the public about what intelligence job(s) entail.

This is certainly not their fault, and the media just makes it worse with all the fiction and "sexy" spy stuff that they put into movies etc.... It's just a reality that the public is only ever made aware of either the .01% of ops that go poorly or where there were intentional abuses or just totally made up things you see in movies.

> Michael Lind argued that Jeffersonianism lost to Hamiltonianism, or the idea of a strong central government. It has been effective, America is a superpower.

But... that doesn't conflict with the ideas above.

>> I believe [Thomas Jefferson] felt the primary countermeasure to this problem was a limited federal government. In his time the federal government was dramatically smaller and the average person had nearly zero interaction with it during their lives.

Those descriptions, "limited" and "strong", are independent of each other. The government of Ming China was a superpower. It was strong and centralized in the Hamiltonian sense. It was also quite sharply limited in the Jeffersonian sense. How limited? When the dynasty fell, the conquering Qing had to deal with a Ming loyalist who just happened to control all of China's oceangoing shipping via his own private navy.

They eventually defeated him by evacuating the coast. The entire coast. The government had the power to do completely absurd things. But they didn't, as a rule, involve themselves with much.
I see. That's much clearer, thanks.

Although the point of documenting PTO is both useful for you (to quantify days off as you may be taking much less than you thought!) and the company (was behead meant to be in work today?! What if there's a fire alarm and headcount is needed?)

Congrats on the promotion and raises! I agree that ideally working hard should lead to those outcomes.

> I wish Americans could get a feeling of how different a society without a perpetual feeling of danger and paranoia feels like.

Me too, but that will never happen. Consider America's past: armed revolution, native genocide, violent [secret] coups with foreign governments, murder of its' own citizens by "peace officers", it goes on and on... It's not a peaceful place with a peaceful history, so I don't think your wish is too realistic. That said...you did say "wish", and I wish it also.
This is a little presumptuous or possibly a misunderstanding of the parent's comment mentioning "old Android phone". It's entirely possible that the person did a lateral generational phone switch, but you've assumed that they upgraded to a newer phone.

I love older generation phones because they're so cheap and your car comparison is perfect because buying a phone new IMO is one of the worst financial decisions you can make unless it has functionality you really need. Phone value drops sharply after the first 1-2 years and so I have a lot of fun buying last generation's phones (Android and iPhone) and comparing them to each other. Holding off on the newest phones really shows me how imaginary the price of an absolute brand new phone is.
>It used to be that if you were an American teenager in a rural area, you could even drive to school with your hunting rifle still in your pickup and nobody would care.

my mom (born 1961) described her high school parking lot as exactly this. she described it as sort of a "clique"/social strata thing, like, guys I associate with wearing heavy Carhartt work coats to school every day and jeans with a clear indentation of a chew can (despite being under 18), would've been the kinds of guys who would proudly leave their sometimes multiple hunting firearms in gun racks in their pickup trucks in the high school parking lot, which nobody had any issue with at all.

1991, the year I was born, someone held up a class at the same high school with a sawed-off shotgun. nobody was hurt but he discharged a few shells into a wall. last I checked you could still see how rough the buckshot-riddled concrete wall still is, despite having been painted over. (interestingly, this story never made national news...)

I went on to attend the same high school and sometime around 2008 we had a complete school lockdown one Monday because a kid had left a paintball gun in his car from over the weekend... in the parking lot of the other high school across town. pretty sure he was tried for a felony.
Cortic A.I. Toolkit
With regard to your gun control points, there is a bit of nuance you missed that people (like me, if I wasn’t trying to help you steelman your argument) will criticize.

Specifically, there are already heavy restrictions on automatic weapons, which are basically never used in criminal acts. Every automatically gun in the US has to be registered with the federal government for $200 and a lot of paperwork. In effect it means if you’re wealthy you can own automatic guns, which is a violation of the 2nd in a lot of people’s opinion.

What I think you meant when you said automatic is “assault “, which is what most of the gun debate is currently center on, so called “assault rifles”. The issue is that the term is not clearly defined, and under most proposed bans would include many rifles which were traditionally considered hunting tools. Even that is a bit of moot point, because the 2nd was not written with hunting in mind.

Another hot point recently is “ghost guns”, which like “assault rifle”, sounds scary enough on the evening news to grab eyeballs. “Ghost guns” are being used to justify government overreach by banning the sharing of gun plans for DIY construction. The issue is that again, almost no DIY guns are used in crimes. What are used are stolen handguns that have had the serial number scratched off. The stolen guns are grouped in with DIY guns as “ghost guns”.

Which do you think is more important? An innocent person being able to prove their innocence, or a criminal being able to conceal their crimes?

The entire millenium-old body of law surrounding what rights you have when dealing with the police exists in order to protect the innocent, not the guilty.

Things like warrants don't exist to make it impossible for the police to do their work. They exist to make it so that they spend less[1] time harassing people who have done nothing wrong. It's difficult to frame the police scooping up data that a third party has on you as harassment.

[1] But not no.
You were doing okay up to that last disastrous couple sentences. The legal system most emphatically should not engage in monitoring and removal of speech. It's bad enough when private companies do it, and that should be opposed as strongly as possible — but government shouldn't begin to touch the decision of what opinions are and are not allowable.
Ask HN: WebSocket APIs vs. REST APIs – will it make a difference?
For all our client and server interactions (APIS) - we are just using websockets. It is a gaming application.

Its a proof of concept used by close to ~50 people. The application feels snappy compared to say our previous REST API implementation. But of course we've not built for scale.

Now, we want to build a scalable version of it. Are there inherent limitations on why people aren't using websocket for APIs instead of REST APIs ?
Your comment is 100% spot on. It's not the unhinged criminals with handguns and a couple rifles I am worried about. It's the single pissed off vet who drives a moving truck to a federal building packed to the brim with fertilizer.

> After 2nd ammendment you will be seeing "commons sense rules for free speech" like we have seen in UK, Canada and Australia.

This is extremely shaky reasoning. You've done nothing to prove that the 2nd amendment is actually protecting these rights, only mentioned the existence of two facts and asserted a causative relationship between them. Have there been attempts to introduce censorship in the US that have been defeated by armed activists? Were there violent uprisings against censorship in the UK, Canada, or Australia that failed due to a lack of access to arms? The 4th amendment was gutted into oblivion in pursuit of the War on Terror -- why didn't the armed citizenry protect our rights?
4k120. for a $400 camera. mercy.

meanwhile Sony is dropping an update to their a7 line. last drop was the a7iii in spring 2018. rumors were it'd have 4k60 but everyone's changed tune & is now expecting 4k30, like the a7iii.

it's hard for me to imagine mirrorless cameras being so slow, so unwilling to deliver anywhere near the throughput that phones & action cameras gladly offer up. these markets are conspiring to make sure 4k60 (or better) is reserved for very expensive gear. it's so hard for me to imagine there being any technical limitations here what-so ever. this is purely market segmentation. and phones, action cameras: they seem like very real disruption from below, happening in real time.
Yeah, when I was in highschool (mid 90’s) the principal told us to bring our guns to the office and he’d hold on to them rather than leaving them in the truck. Then we’d pick them up at the end of the day and go hunting. No one even thought that was strange. Now I have to make sure I don’t drive on school property when I have a gun in my car when I go pick my kids up. Park off campus and walk.
> I usually took 3-4 weeks of PTO a year

So the legal minimum in most countries?
I have watched a lot of videos from Peter Santenello [1] on YouTube. He takes a somewhat deep dive into a lot of communities that the traditional media typically fails to highlight or fails to do it properly. He has quite a few videos where he speaks with people in the "hood" or the "projects" in various places across America.

In many of these videos he asks some of the people in these communities what they think about police. The response is often something along the lines of there being a "F the police" mentality, but at the same time they respect the good ones and still need their presence. So even the people living in the communities that are apparently most impacted by the police still are able to say positive things about them. Especially when they talk to any of the "elders" of these communities, they always preach the importance of the police in keeping their communities safe.

So it begs the question, why do so many white people on the left constantly speak for these black communities? These communities never seem to actually say they want less policing in them. Yet it's something you hear all the time from the traditional media and from activist groups.

Personally I am getting pretty sick of the white saviour complexes it seems like a lot of activist people have. They don't live in these communities and maybe have talked to a couple people, but that is enough for them to speak on behalf of a whole community. It's enough for them to go out in protest and riots on their "behalf". And the sad thing is that when black people in these communities speak out about this, they are usually attacked by the activist's and berated. I've seen seem people yelling racist slurs at black people at protests who oppose what is being protested. It's insane.

The virtue signalling is insanely present these days and is super unproductive and harmful.

Even in a city I don't really think someone would sit and wait for animal control while a pack of strays attack a pet or try to break into a chicken coop (or something else similar) rather than try to save their animal(s) somehow.

In the US you are innocent until accused. Police organizations and the FBI love to come in and question the people around you with very pointed questionnaires that can make it seem like you are a very bad person.

The number of guilty people that get off by it would be irrelevant compared to the number of innocents that become stigmatized by their peers.
