It has improved a bit from what I can see, but I wouldn't say it's "modern".

Interesting. It still appears to have the issue with text flow I ran into years ago where text would overlap with the button outline, rather than increasing the button outline to accommodate the text.

That was the one thing I didn't like about it. It made the GUI's look kinda unprofessional.
I work in customer facing roles. Responses like that are considered hostile. If I responded like that in a professional capacity -- like the parent comment -- I'd have a lot of questions to answer.

And from the reply, the response wasn't even correct. Bad form.
The linked thread doesn't contain any information about what these people actually blocked or in what way they can't use other Google services anymore.

If they blocked DNS resolution and SSO is causing trouble, like people here are speculating, then the fix is unblocking accounts.youtube.com.

If they blocked connections to YouTube's IP addresses they've just blocked most of Google, because YouTube is served from the same (relatively small) set of IP addresses as a lot of other services.

Here's a (rather less sophisticated) personal favourite of mine: alt + # causes a # symbol to be prepended to the line, and then runs it. Useful for entering a nearly-finished line into your command history for later, commented out, if you realise you need to fix up something else beforehand.

Slightly faster than ctrl-a followed by # followed by return.
> Given that, one would assume they are willing to take a hit in profit (by not selling & not cooperating) in places like Russia and China.

If Apple didn't cooperate with China, there would be no iPhones, and Apple wouldn't meaningfully exist. iPhones are nearly exclusively manufactured in China. All the chips in iPhones, iPads, and now the most important macs are exclusively manufactured immediately adjacent to China, in a territory claimed by China.

China is the iPhone.
I learned a lot about Shellac from the podcast Reasonably Sound (episode: The World Remade). Highly recommended deep dive into the world of vinyl records.
Typically in those cases I think it is someone who just won't stop posting inflammatory comments on certain topics even though they are otherwise interesting.

If someone is willing to stop doing that they can email the mods and often get another chance. Dang even use to point it out while banning someone.
> Understood, I never really got why the Nazis left Sweden alone but did go after Norway and Denmark.
And at the same time were so hell-bent on conquering the empty deserts in North Africa.

Because Sweden had a credible military. Not that she could have resisted indefinitely to a German invasion, but subduing her would have taken time the Axis did not have.

> And at the same time were so hell-bent on conquering the empty deserts in North Africa.

Sweden was neutral. Britain and Free France weren't.

> But those ball bearings and other parts helped kill a lot of allies.

Poland was an ally. It was split between Germany and the Soviet Union (and sold off to the Soviets after the war, but that was yet to come). Do you think Sweden should have sacrificed herself after seeing that?
How does Go have any relevance? This is a C program, it will link against libc.
You mean 'I've personally seen no evidence for them'. Pharmaceutical companies are science companies big time. They do science and the stack of proven unethical practices connected with them is extensive as a spot of searching reveals. No implication necessary, We know they often don't
conduct themselves in a proper manner and often in a criminal manner.

To which we can add Eli Lilly, Amgen, Astrazenica, Actelion, Purdue Pharma all of whom have been fined upwards of $200 million. And these are only the big fish. Of course most scientific activity takes place such that ethical considerations don't arise. When they do however, it would seem that making a default judgment of their ethical probity is definitely problematic.
"Prussia, then by far Germany's biggest state, introduced a copyright law in 1837, but Germany's continued division into small states meant that it was hardly possible to enforce the law throughout the empire."

Copyright abolished by 2070?
Man orders camera on Amazon. Gets rocks instead. Returns it. Gets bricks. (2018)
Marketplaces are terrible for discovery: nobody trying to sell stuff are interested in acting as a trusted impartial observer, or giving anybody accurate information.

Marketplaces are about balancing out competing sources of stuff by roughly their quality value without oversight, provided the underlying 'rules' aren't too egregiously ignored (no committing actual crimes, no stealing things to sell them at prices below their worth, no lying or pressuring people to lie on your behalf or stealing their identities to lie with).

When you enforce a lack of crimes, marketplaces work to allocate resources without top-down control, and scale as big as you like without losing that quality. THAT is the point. It has nothing to do with discovery and in fact they're not at all great for discovery.

The person who allocates more money and energy to being discovered by you is always going to come out ahead of the one who worked to deliver you a better product and didn't put as many resources into, quite literally, marketing. All expenditures in marketing are literally you paying to be sold on a thing, literally you paying to distort the marketplace in the product's favor (regardless of its value, could be garbage or a Veblen good that is otherwise of unimpeachable quality)

The LAST thing you want is a marketplace for discovery. You want discovery to do an end run around the market and give you the realities of what's being sold. The market then allocates resources based on your hopefully enlightened input.
I simultaneously violently agree and violently disagree.

This is kind of my main beef with the Marvel stuff I've seen - they all end with these boring flying, shooting, punching VFX scenes, even if they started more interestingly (eg. WandaVision). But for me that's a writing choice, if they'd written something better we wouldn't have to sit through it, and if it'd been shot without VFX it'd still be boring. Complaining about the "CGI" is complaining about the wrong thing.

Nobody complained about the VFX in The Wolf of Wall Street. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pocfRVAH9yU

And we still call government bureaucrats 'Mandarins' for that reason. Especially, 'Whitehall Mandarins', Whitehall being the area of London where several government ministeries are based.
Funny. People being childish and mean spirited for their own petty complexes is how I would describe the response. They couldn't just let it slide. The idea that intent doesn't matter, and the most hysterical reaction should be validated, is a recipe for feedback loops of drama and cluster B.

Who raised these children? How do they function in the real world, if their response to some snark is to set up a massive campaign to discredit the person responsible and ban them from a community? This is a whole kitchen of pots calling the kettle black.

Luckily this is only about Go. It could've been about a programming language with a future, taste or any good ideas whatsoever. That would've been a shame.
Verbosity or Anti-Pattern
Getting this kind of behaviour past review is simple, and malevolent apps do happen.

Google has a clever technique for detecting them (after review) and it's good, but slow. It has a decent chance of detecting the app after a few attacks, and works by analysing which apps were installed on phones just before a factory reinstall.
> You cannot just copy and paste things from a public domain data source without first checking the copyright terms

There's an oxymoron here. Many public data sources that are free to use, do in fact have copyright considerations to be made, correct.

However, "public domain" does not have copyright terms attached. That is why it is in the public domain. If something is actually public domain, there is no copyright holder, and no terms to be enforced.

I can find totally bogus stuff on Amazon in under 5 minutes.

This means that Amazon's staff can, too.

This has been the case for years now, so I assume that this is the situation that Amazon desires. Anyone who can build AWS can build anti-abuse tools.
I know how these things work, and I'm sorry, but 250 Gbps in this day and age is just a joke, even when you are talking about bandwidth outside your network. There's more to this story or this ISP is incompetent or severely underfunded.
It’s not so straightforward as “it’s slower to execute”. Often excessive copying of immutable objects instead of mutating them means code is slower, especially in JavaScript.

> The pure libertarian view is that if it is a net benefit to twitter (including where less expenditure on moderation outweighs the costs of poorer quality of moderation), then it's a good idea.

> Libertarianism centers around the individual. Which is why it disagrees with the notion that a private person or group should be regulated even if that might increase net liberty in society as a whole.

Please explain how the second proposition makes the first libertarian.

How I read it is: Libertarianism limits regulation, and thus doesn't prevent the extreme capitalist view of optimizing cost of operation, but in itself, Libertarianism doesn't say: "seek profit by all means".

Or is your definition not precise enough?
Do you have non-biased ( former director of the CIA? The same guys that lied about WMDs in Iraq? Sure, they're reliable; and a professor of Middle East history in an Israeli university) sources disputing those claims? I haven't read the book in question, just asking.
Why is employment equal to fulfillment? This feels like a backwards approach to making a better society. We should be trying to reduce the amount of work that needs to be done, so that people can interact with others on their own terms, rather than expecting workplaces to provide for a person's emotional, social, as well as economic needs.
Hey HN. I decided to build forlater.email after frustration with existing read-later services. They all want me to create an account, or install an app.

Somewhat inspired by rss2email, I decided to build forlater -- a bookmarking/read-later service you can use via email. Send a link to save@forlater.email (subject doesn't matter!), and get a readable version of it in your inbox. Email is especially useful here because you can organize it however you like, and gives the you -- the user -- full control of your data, no account required.

I've been dogfooding it, and it's super handy. Here's what a saved page looks like on FairEmail (Android): https://x.icyphox.sh/B8J4o.jpg

Getting the HTML email template was surprisingly hard. You have to write HTML like it's 1999: <table>s and inline styling. For plaintext, I'm using the oh-so-handy 'lynx'.

Finally, it's all free software: https://github.com/forlater-email (or https://git.icyphox.sh/forlater)

Rest assured, you can be sure that forlater isn't going anywhere. It costs me very little (for now) to run, and I'm its biggest user. I plan to make it more self-hosting friendly and write some docs for the same.

Until then, thanks for checking it out!
Whenever I used to type that name I'd always someone end up typing "sourceforget". I guess that name has finally become fitting.

They would have acted the same regardless of what the initial case was caused by. That's just the way they roll.
It's basically souped-up rear projection[1], which suits the "classic western" feel of the material really well. I'm not sure it's exactly "more realistic" - maybe we're just less used to seeing that look in 2021.

> I always viewed this as a red flag. But it turns out those certification standards don't actually include filter effectiveness

Not too long ago I looked up the legal standards for (US) butter grading. Turns out they are exclusively based on a taster's professional opinion of the butter's flavor.

This seems like a piece of regulatory apparatus we could do without.
Whilst that is a useful list, that’s somewhat of a misnomer in isolation.

To provide a fuller comparison, you’d need to also incorporate: share of viewing (per title), average box office returns (per studio eg Marvel/Disney), number of articles in mainstream media, etc.
Aukey stuff still available on amazon.co.jp apparently, FWIW:

Yes, one shot is also good for rural population vaccinated with a mobile unit and maybe for some people are who are at risk getting a very powerful immune response and end up getting stuck with an incomplete vaccination scheme, because they can't take the second dose. I have an acquiantance in that position, she still has an off the scale antibody count after covid and the first Pfizer dose. It's great that we have more options now.

When the French gov't announced that you need a vaccination pass to be admitted into restaurants, more than 600k people registered for vaccination in the folliwing days, most of them for the one shot J&J vaccine. So I guess it's also good for undecided people?
Sure, there is the tradition of the purely academic Humboldt University in Germany, but there is also a long tradition of vocational training mixed with some theoretical schooling ("Ausbildung"). So there are definitely both strands, and to put fundamental scientific achievements into practice, the second one might matter more.
In this case there's not many reasons for it to be a native app instead of a Progressive Web App. This would simplify distribution.

If the app is open source, it could also be hosted on F-droid (or just as an .apk on some website).

These kind of situations are exactly why we fight against walled gardens and centralizatiom. It's not a problem until it is.
>It's hard to blame these companies , Amazon pretty much made the place such that once one brand started doing this, you were dead if you weren't.

That's the job of a market. If it's demonstrated that this is the new rule under which competition happens, the job of a maximally efficient marketplace is to make everyone else comply as quickly as possible.

Your argument is that we should take very stringent preventative measures whether or not COVID leaked from a lab.

While I agree with that, what this misses is that knowledge of if and how the virus escaped is valuable knowledge that helps us by showing us where the flaws in our current processes are.

Flight safety is a fitting analogy. You need to analyze exactly why a plane crashed so that you can see the gaps in current safety processes. It is that iteration (crash -> analyze -> improve -> crash -> analyze -> improve) over many generations that is why flying is so safe. Without this, it's armchair theory and you are not left with a system that is robust to the real world.
I was thinking about this as well. A bit like the rumors that some viruses are created or spread by anti-virus companies.
Figured it out :)
It almost sounds as if operating in Russia is a bad idea.
If it's really that simple then it would explain why North America was considered the land of the free. The farmers that lived there didn't have to bow down to existing land owners they owned their own land.

In that sense Germans didn't have to bow down to existing intellectual property owners.
> 75% of the world production of linen is done in France

That's interesting, why is it so concentrated? Is it subsidized heavily?
That's exactly what the elitist would say.
I suppose the question is a subjective one. I mostly agree with your points, though I wonder if you think the path we take to our inevitable demise is of any consequence? Trying to skirt nihilism here.
Interesting, in my database (http://root.rupy.se) I have one file per word that contains the ids (long) of the nodes (URLs), so to search many words together I have to go through the first file and one by one see if I find matches in the second.

How does the range binary search work, does it just prune out the overlaps, how efficient is it and how much data do you have in there for say "hello" and "world" f.ex?
Why? Can we not assess the films produced by looking at the list of films produced? I'm not saying as many people watch or know about the other films. In fact that is precisely the reason I don't like it when people imply they don't exist.

Funnily enough, some German officers were planning on doing just that after the Munich conference in 1938 because they thought he was pushing Germany into a doomed war ( the Oster plot), but UK and France's appeasement resulted in a sin for Hitler and explosion in popularity, so the plot never happened.

However, you're failing for the great man fallacy. Hitler dying in 1938/1939 wouldn't have changed that much due to well established power of the Nazis by then, and the presence of men with power such as Hess, Himmler and Göring to take control.

Long before that, and who knows
. Maybe the NSDAP would have grown as popular even without him; maybe Strasser would have won; maybe Rohm would have launched his revolution and taken personal control.
So in the case where the attackers are aiming their traffic at one of the ISP's routers to saturate a link, how do they get the IP address/domain name of this router?

Interesting idea, I like it.

The biggest problem I see is that this is going to (eventually) be used by spammers.

I can send a mail with a FROM anywhere with a link. That link will be advertising for something, and your service will mail it off to some unsuspecting person.

This means your mail server's reputation will end up being black listed everywhere.

Enforcing DKIM/SPF validation would help a lot (but not perfect). I verified that you are not currently doing any validation today. I was able to spoof my gmail address from my residential IP. You do not have very long to fix it before it gets abused.

Willing to bet that, as the author discusses, underestimating the size of informal employment/the informal economy is a large part of the issue.

The transition to a post-industrial economy makes it significantly harder to accurately estimate how many people are employed at any given time. Especially in the states, where people are identified and tracked through Social Security/OASDI, there's a short term benefit to working under the table.

Edit: I'll take back part of my earlier comment. The Federal Reserve has a great visual breakdown of labor force participation by age. It's a little old, but it looks like the decline in labor force participation (ages 16-64) is largely attributable to schooling/university attendance: https://fredblog.stlouisfed.org/2015/08/the-composition-effe....

I have no love lost for China[1], or Russia, or the US, all of whom have been duping successive Indian governments for the last 75 years for their own gains.[2]

However, if we were to assume that the origins are neither natural (wet markets) nor accidental (lab leaks), but deliberate action on the part of some state that is not China, I have to wonder about the likelihood of this being a botched attempt at triggering regime change in China by parts of the US government. It was executed perfectly in Egypt and Ukraine over the last decade. The extreme measures taken by the CCP that rapidly ended transmission within the country perhaps caused the project to fail.
