> They have no track record of trust.

Its worse. They have a consistent track record for asking for trust and then breaking it in most abusive way possible, then issuing a non-apology only after getting caught and then repeating same process all-over again. Oh, I forgot mentioning FB getting rich in the process, so it somehow becomes justified and has zero chance for change.
From my position, the mobile app shenanigans look like little more than intracompany politics. Where Facebook is not getting data, Apple or Google are still happily collecting.

Overall, I would guess that there is no track record of trust because expectations remain unclear. Concepts of privacy, data usage, and such didn't exist before Facebook and others. I suppose I am not eager to assume malintent outside what is standard for any business operating for the sake of profit.
A lot of the available space is woodland and on the outskirts of Berlin. People want to live in the center, not further out (they already can do that, once you cross over into Brandenburg in the north, the competition for flats is much lower), that's why such a giant piece of land in a sought-after location would be a great idea for development, while some even larger piece of land out in the middle of nowhere where nobody wants to live isn't.
Didn’t mean to imply data is never needed. However there is more than one layer to the question.
If you're from the US, that might explain the misunderstanding. The apps in Europe (EU+other countries) have standardized trusted certs roots. So being able to create a qr code doesn't help at all, it won't pass the verifier apps.

I’m curious about the cell count. The article mentions 18,000 cells for 2.4 MW. A cell must be a collection of other cells? Or is there a standard lithium-ion cell packing ~140 wh?
That's not what the article is actually saying, and they make some good points in the article about how other VPNs have conflicts of interest. But you're right that this post basically amounts to content marketing rather than a real discussion of the complicated issues at play.
This reminds me of an experiment recounted in a great book Phantoms in the Brain, which I always wanted to try.

The subject sits with a model nose placed some distance in front of them on which someone taps and strokes in some non predictable fashion. At the same time the subject's own nose is touched in precisely the same pattern. Subjects apparently report an overwhelming sensation that the model nose, some meters in front of them, is thier own nose!
Just once, I'd like to read a scientific paper that concludes, "We have completed study of this field. No further research is necessary."

There are many new developers making games, utilities, new versions of languages, a GCC compiler patch to output 9900 code, a bunch of really cool modern hardware solutions including the TIPI that provides a modern hard disk and internet connectivity via a raspberry pi. and the F18A VDP replacement is on this and many other systems to get VGA out. more info: https://www.arcadeshopper.com/wp/ti-99-4a-faq/
That doesn't mean it's 100% compatible or 100% the Linux experience. There are still kinks in it, e.g. SBCL doesn't compile there.
What about a hybrid approach, as I think folks do right now more or less -- draw it out by eye, and then validate the design with simulation-software (e.g. https://www.comsol.com/microfluidics-module) and iterate as needed from thereon.

Your inclination toward a computational approach makes me think of what folks in mechanical engineering are up to these days. Creating mechanical designs generatively with topological optimization (https://all3dp.com/2/topology-optimization-simply-explained/). There appear to be clear use-cases and advantages: you reduce the amount of material needed, decide exactly what stress points you want to focus on and work to strengthen those particular parts of the structure in interesting ways, etc. Fluid mechanics is a little more complicated though I think, so you're certainly up for a challenge!

I wish you success with your proposal, and I hope to discover your findings published in a nature paper on the frontpage of HN sometime soon ;).
I just feel that taking on projects I can't [yet] do, is the best way for me to improve.

This tutorial was the perfect level of depth for me — someone who has experience programming but never experienced modifying the Linux kernel. I don’t need a lot of info on setting up a VM or installing tools. I just need info on where the hooks are in the kernel itself. How do you compile it and where do you put the new stuff in?
Using a modern shell like zsh allows for tab completion of those options.
I’ve occasionally wondered if a policy of giving a 10-30% total raise over the first 3-ish years of an employees tenure would pay off: the value of the domain knowledge of someone who walks + the cost of recruiting and training a new hire is probably about $50k+ and, so, it might be less expensive in the long run to just match the raise someone could get by switching jobs.
>Actually, most of the time your VPN is just going to be blocked entirely by the service

Doesn't seem to be the case 'most of the time' for non-free VPNs or at least mine. You can definitely access YouTube videos available abroad or BBC iPlayer or whatever. I'm on VPN a 3rd of the time and it's only very occasionally I have issues. Sure, maybe it's worse with some services but not 'most of the time'.
This is correct and very frustrating! For a deep dive into this issue check out:

What does "brown" mean in this context?
> Why would the police raid you based on blurry versions of completely legal images?

Because they have a reasonable suspicion that they're illegal images, and it's quite literally job of the police to collect evidence to determine whether or not a suspect can be charged with a crime or not.

> And are you really saying that the images Apple reviews are so blurry that they can’t review them? That seems like a very stupid system.

Are you saying that Apple built a system that can detect CSAM, and then chose to build a system for distributing and viewing said illegal material, considering that the acts of distributing and viewing CSAM are both very, very illegal?

Again, it isn't Apple's job to determine what's CSAM or not, that's the job of the police and courts. Apple's obligation is to report what they believe could be CSAM to authorities, who will take the investigation from there.
>> David Bowie's music is unremarkable

The Spiders from Mars music on the Ziggy album is remarkable. The remarkable role that Bowie played was as a connector.

Some rock stars get lucky, get rich and famous, and then decide they are going to shoot up as much heroin as possible before they die. David Bowie got lucky and decided to use his fame to make the world a little bit closer to the way he wanted it to be.

I never would have heard of Mark Ronson without Bowie, never would have heard of Brian Eno, might not have heard of Iggy Pop. Probably would have heard of Lou Reed but who knows. Those people made remarkable music. Bowie helped get them in the spotlight.

But yeah, I haven't listened to "Let's Dance" in many years.

A mistake would not be perjury, fully agreed, and I do know what the word means. Knowingly making a materially false declaration under penalty of perjury in a circumstance where a federal law specifies that penalty, however, would be perjury.

So, the main question here is whether it's knowingly and materially false of the claimant to assert that they are the owner of an exclusive right that was allegedly infringed. They clearly own an exclusive right with respect to the work, so the question reduces to whether it's knowingly and materially false that the exclusive right was allegedly infringed.

If a known bad-faith/inaccurate allegation suffices to make the exclusive right allegedly infringed, then the statement is true and there was no perjury. I'm doubtful that a court would rule that way, but it is possible.

Otherwise, the question of perjury finally boils down to whether the claimant understands that no right was being infringed, and I guess also to whether the knowing falsity of the resulting allegation was material according to the standards of the perjury statute. My guess is yes to both questions, hence calling it perjury. I think the notice sender had simply given up on more appropriate ways to get the stuff taken down and was trying any procedure, however ill-matched, to achieve the goal.

But equally, I agree that some of this might be hard to prove and definitely that none of it is worth the time of a prosecutor or court. It's a purely academic discussion.

DMCA takedowns do not in general imply any revocation of a license, by the way. If the takedown notice is contrary to the scope of a current and valid license, then either GitHub can realize that fact and choose to step outside the liability protections of the safe harbor for that notice and decline to act on the notice, or the target of the notice (usually not the same person as the one who issued it) can give a counter-notification and eventually have their hosting restored in the absence of a lawsuit during the resulting statutory waiting period.
They've still gotta live somewhere. Overall housing supply has not been increased.

I actually think this case is worse for the overall economy than the rental building scenario!

Perpetual rentership is more economically precarious and less stable than ownership. But here we have the folks with assets and income sufficient to purchase properties buying up additional ones to pull ownership further out of reach for more people. So yay, we've converted a property that someone might've otherwise purchased as an asset to yet another rental.

I also don't agree with your claim that in a free market this would cause (much more rapid) increased construction in most cities, given current attitudes about small-landlordship. You can't build there without tearing something else down first, and small landlords are not often going about replacing ten unit buildings with twenty unit buildings! That requires a different level of capital. In SoCal can see this in neighborhoods in places where the current zoning allows, say, 5 story buildings, but those new five story buildings are still sparsely scattered amongst old two-story buildings that are simply too attractive to keep (the dream people are pitched that makes them become small landlords isn't "sell everything eventually to a developer, it's "passive income".) Small landlords made a lot of fuss about earthquake retrofitting, a much smaller expense than "kick out all my current income-generating tenants and rebuild it all." It's been much easier for developers to convert old low-density commercial or industrial property, since the market is more fluid there (and often with much more slack in it, in large cities).

I similarly don't expect a high number of single family lots to turn into four-plexes in the next fifteen years now that CA has changed zoning on them. It's definitely different at four units than two - where duplexes aren't selling for any more than SFH currently, since the qualitative demand for a true single family home is just that much higher - but I don't think it's enough different for a significant number of people to want to cash out or try to play developer.

(NIMBY's exist everywhere, too - acting like they're unique to big expensive cities is self-defeating. The way lower-cost-of-living cities have maintained those costs is a combination of less demand and more land to expand into. If you can build your new mega apartment complex on empty land, you don't have to convince those small-time landlords or property owners to sell all their separate buildings! Dallas County didn't increase in population much more rapidly than SF County because of rapid increases in density - just look at the Dallas city population vs the burbs.)
Kidnapping is already illegal. Curious, it still happens
Using PPC in a laptop form factor is a really confusing choice, given that Apple abandoned PPC [1] in their laptops for Intel because they judged that there was no way that IBM was ever going to come out with a PPC chip that was ever going to be as power efficient as the comparable Intel parts. Their "Why PPC" page [2] makes no mention of power or thermal efficiency, and just states that PowerPC is better because the original version of the ISA was invented after x86 and ARM. By that logic Itanium is the best ISA of all!

If he reveals the prize you just lose, the chance to change your option only happens if he picks wrong.

It isn't a strange game. You pick one of 3 doors. The host then reveals the correct door and say you lost. Nobody would raise an eyebrow if that happened.

Lets take this scenario to show how changing would make you lose:

A conman runs a game where you pick one of 3 options and can win a prize. If you pick the correct option the conman will reveal one of the other and ask you if you want to switch. Switching then means you always lose. However if you pick the wrong one then he reveals the correct one and say you lost. So in this case following the rules of the original solutions means you are 100% likely to lose the game.

That people have such a hard time understanding this part of the problem is also due to not understanding statistics properly. If what I said above doesn't make sense to you then you don't understand the Monty Hall problem.
But you wouldn't say it's safe just less unsafe.

> my mind says that if I pick a door at random out of two I have the same probability of getting a goat.

In the proper setup of the problem, at no point do you pick a door at random out of two.

You start with three doors.

* You choose one, and you have a 1/3 chance that you have picked the car.

* There is a 2/3 chance that the door is behind one of the other doors.

Now, and this is a key point, Monty knows where the goat is.

* Of the other two doors, he can choose one that hides a goat. That doesn't affect your chance of being right, which remains at 1/3.

* Of the other two doors, he does choose one that hides a goat. That doesn't affect your chance of being right, which remains at 1/3.

* Of the other two doors, he opens one that hides a goat. That doesn't affect your chance of being right, which remains at 1/3.

Now there is one other unopened door.

* The chance that the door you chose holds the car remains at 1/3;

* The chance the car is behind one of the other two doors is 2/3;

* One of those two doors has been opened!

So the other closed door has a 2/3 chance of holding the car.

I agree with you for the most part. They keep adding more and more to the language and it is getting more and more bloated. It's becoming a chore to keep up with, and the added power isn't that necessary. Much of what they add is just making the language more terse. I do prefer the terseness once I get used to a new feature, but having to relearn javascript all the time is pretty annoying.

I really admire small and simple languages that don't change much over time. Lisps, SML, etc.

But once again, many of the improvements are quite nice once you learn them and get used to them. I wouldn't want to give up arrow functions, for example, now that I'm used to them.

It's obviously corruption. Corporate landlords get to offload their dodgy property to the government and run away with the cash, without the usual time and expense of selling each property on the market. By cynically cloaking themselves in populist language, they're able to easily manufacture the consent of the public.

When the problem was originally going around, this wasn't so hidden. There was a cultural awareness of who Monthy Hall was and experience with the show Let's Make a Deal, and that he never showed the prize door (although, he was not bound to the presented rules). Although, personally, I remember being explicitly told that the host knew where the prize was and so knowingly opened a non-chosen, non-prize door.

My brain still wants to short circuit to two doors, one prize, random selection, 50% chance.

And how did your collection find its way into those discords... You outsourced the marketing to your followers, that's what social capital is. If you were a no-name individual with 20 followers, your NFTs probably wouldn't have sold despite being exactly the same, because the probability of them ending up in front of the right people would have been much lower, unless you went to considerably higher marketing effort. Thus the point of the parent comment stands.

The restaurant isn't disassembled when you leave, when you eat a meal at a establishment you pay for the upkeep of a building that will grow in value over time and yet receive no upside.

Not to overemphasize meta commentary, but damn 3200 points, 650 comments in 2 days -- this is one of the highest rated posts I can remember. Seems HN readers are very interested in alternatives to the current search hegemony and the kind of low-quality junk articles that litter it.
WOW! What a disaster. It's devastating to see how these virtue signaling education institutions hurt our young people. From ISA startups to elite master degrees, so many educational non-profits don't seem to care about their mission and only have their eyes on profits. Who can we trust these days if institutions whose stated purpose are to educate and to empower are just trying to make a buck? Don't tell me that startups are hard. IMO, a line has been crossed in this case.
But we're not talking about scams here, as far as I can tell. Contracts aren't being thrown aside and blatantly ignored. Just misunderstood, possibly even exploitative, rules. Or in the case of "go forward" comp like in the article, it's really just a negotiation thing, more than a contract thing.

Exploitative, deceptive, or otherwise malicious contract rules are still possible, here, no? I have a hard time imagining an automated code checker that is smart enough to figure out "this is a more risky investment based on how the rules are set up!" in a way that a paper contract couldn't be similarly analyzed.

After all, a public company is about as decentralized as it gets - decentralized enough that most of the owners have basically zero individual power compared to the people appointed to run it - and there have been plenty of shenanigans in those over the years (which is why they now have a lot of regulation as a result).

Is this effectively just "corporations, now with less regulations because we haven't yet seen the ways this particular form can be used maliciously?"

Consider "hollywood accounting" - if the smart contract says "profit is split 60% to 40% between the two of us" but I'm in a position to choose to classify expenses and various other costs in a way that means "profit" gets computed in the system as X instead of 5X, what happens?
