There is no windows for phones (anymore). If you aren't using an apple phone, you are pretty much forced to use google's android (or one of the various linux phones with little financial backing)

Windows/Android can be considered a natural pair, Microsoft seem to think so. Personally use Linux/Android pair, and I've been vaguely considering switching to an iphone to avoid Google.
> We have a murderer, we have (...)

It sounds you lost track of the discussion. If you browse back through the thread you'll notice that the whole point is that without evidence this sort of accusation lies deep inside conspiracy theory territory, among all nutty baseless conspiracies. The key difference in this case is that, unlike all other conspiracy theories, there is indeed evidence that provide substance to accusations. Stating that an accusation is obvious is not evidence nor enough on itself. As I pointed out, the accusations in the Supermicro case we're also immediately obvious. Too bad they were not grounded on reality and after all these years there is no evidence to support them. But they were obvious, right?
Yea I think parent is more worried about being PC than being truthful. All of the points mentioned were true, they just aren't PC.

Gutter oil has been outlawed for a good minute now, yet it gets into even the restaurants, I've friends from mainland China who say even if you stay away from street vendors eventually you will eat it, so people just give up worrying about it.

Myriad and many are the stories of factories taking specs and running off to start a cheaper knockoff competitor.

Sometimes the truth sucks. I used to dream of visiting China, now I'd be scared to.
At some point where is this money coming from?
That would be my interpretation as well - these non mangled names I guess they come from an api.
AI can also read code like a human: https://denigma.app
Look at 2.cl, though: the lisp solution is faster than everything except one c++ solution. (And, aside from the SIMD intrinsics, the lisp solution is fairly idiomatic)

Presumably, skilled developers won't be the majority working in roles where copy pasting from the AI tool is a common pattern. I like PHP, for example, but a fair amount of the criticism of existing PHP codebases is because the ecosystem attracts lower-skilled folks.

What you're mentioning will happen, some developers will use the tool the right way. I just don't think that will be the prevailing pattern.
What does "no tracking" even mean here? Does it include no facial recognition?

I mean, ffs, the FBI or Interpol or whoever could release such an app using keywords that mean nothing these days. Privacy preserving, no tracking, no installation, no special permissions.

We just match everyone on video against a criminal database, but it's fine, we don't save your mugshot if you're not a criminal!
> the text and link based format helps - this might change quickly if e.g. HN allowed posting photos of vintage computer equipment, which could disproportionately gain upvotes

That's an interesting point. The ThinkPad subreddit has been taken over by "Thinkstagram" photos. People seem to love them, based on the votes, but I'd hoped for a place to have actual discussion of ThinkPads.

Of course even being text-only may not help. I used to be an active participant in the old ThinkPad mailing list. A small group but very knowledgeable people with interesting discussion of ThinkPad issues.

But then one person turned the list into his own tech support channel. He would ask things like "How do I do X in Microsoft Word?" People would tell him "That's not really a ThinkPad question." And he would say "Yeah, but you are the smartest people I know, so I figured I would ask here."

After that went on for a while I kind of lost interest in the mailing list and unsubscribed.
I don't get this line of thinking. Nowhere does it says it's supposed to have any security uses.
"Statistically improbable phrases" are one way to branch such searchs.

So, the bot looks for the URL and title matches, then looks for tuples within those sets (2--3 word chains seems to be a sweet spot), and which of those seem to cluster on those aprticular articles and comments, but not a tremendous number of others.

"Operation Trojan Shield" would be a good match for the An0m sting being discussed elsewhere. "The FBI" or "First Amendment", though not highly prevalent, are still sufficiently used elsewhere that they probably would not be.

Someone would have to keep tally of the tuples, though.

(Tiptoe Through the Tuples...)
Definitely agreed. Fortunately, many consultants are looking for exactly that kind of exit, and it is easier to train a consultant with lots of diverse experience how to operate in that environment than it is to teach an FTE with 10+ years experience how to understand an industry at a macro-level

There are also many consultants on multi-year engagements that already have this experience.

+1 for Reaper. Fast and fantastic piece of software. I switched from ProTools and have never looked back.
Agreed, although I think this is the hard bit:

> - Audit the hell out of these and offer bounties for any vulnerabilities which can be demonstrated.

The NSA backdoors will be pretty hard to find if they are there - It's not like you are going to see something like "If User == "NSA" Then Divulge_Key()". The backdoor is going to be something like a very subtle bug with how a particular crypto library is implemented, or some obscure buffer oveflow attack, and it probably won't even be discernible from an accidental bug.

In reality I doubt there is any way to know if the NSA can eavesdrop, it's a complete coin toss.
I've never heard of a business being scammed by a vendor through ransomware. When businesses choose vendors, they do it with legal contracts enforceable in their jurisdictions.
No. They suffer no setbacks, admit to nothing, and there isn't even a record left that can establish a precedent for the next person to get screwed. You can tell through the pathetic press releases of the various agencies responsible, esp. the EEOC: these are the best settlements they're getting.

Your best option is to find the sleaziest, most experienced lawyer possible. A lawyer who is adept at delay, distraction, and costly legal requests. The company will settle for a moderate amount (maybe a couple years salary in exchange for your silence.) You'll give half to the lawyer.

I'm pretty sure that in a lot of cases it's the same lawyers threatening to sue the same companies over the same behavior, and getting the same settlements in return for the same NDA. It can become a relationship between lawyer and company functioning like an external severance pay arbitration department.

That's a terrible take. Marriage is a team sport, even more so with kids. Would you sell your business without discussing it with your co-founder?
I assume everything is paywalled, and read the comments first for a link around it. Along the way I find out if it's worth reading.

I generally hold off commenting until after I've read the article.
I'm confused, isn't established standard too nebulous a concept to be "needs to be upvoted", there is just too diverse of an opinion on what what is a "well thought out comment" and one person's "inflammatory" comment could be another person's "well thought out comment", the cognitive dissonance is upstream of all the voting patterns and there can be no set standard except organic, binary up/down voting. I think the ideal is that on average the local maxima (upvote groupthink) eventually is balanced by local minima (downvote groupthink)...

but I would like to see how an established standard could be set for what should or shouldn't be upvoted?
Cost/benefit analysis says there is nothing for me to gain by discussing my salary with my co-workers and only potential downsides.

Everyone wants to be paid more than they are of course and I'm no exception, but overall I feel like I am being paid pretty close to what I am worth. After accounting for the fact that I work for company with a decent culture, don't take part in an on-call rotation and pretty much get to pick my hours outside of scheduled meetings. I know what the market rate is in my area for my skills and experience, and I negotiate my pay (and raises) with my employer according to that data.

What _would_ hurt me (or at least my image) is if someone who does similar work to me went to their manager and said, "hey manager, bityard says he makes $x more than me, please give me a raise." Now maybe the manager is a completely reasonable guy and agrees completely. But it's a small company and maybe that particular manager isn't so reasonable. Now I'm the bad guy in that manager's eyes for "bragging" about my take-home pay and making him do the work to convince _his_ managers to approve the raise and justify the increased operating costs, passing along my name discreetly to them as well. Or maybe the raise is denied, and the guy quits. Then I'm the bad guy. Or the raise is denied and the guy is fired for something unrelated. It all gets murky and resentful real quick.

Further, if you ask someone at work what their pay is, how do you know they are telling the truth? I can think of several reasons people might lie about what they make by shifting the number in either direction.

At the end of the day, going to your boss and saying you and the other employees compared salaries is frankly a pretty lazy (and likely ineffective) way to ask for a raise. The _right_ way to ask for a raise is to do your own research on market rates, and then _prove_ to your employer why you deserve the going rate (or higher) based on your work performance and other relevant factors. As it always has been.

This is really neat to see. I'm actually working on an idea that involves conferencing and have been using jitsi's open source solution for the POC. I've been impressed with the openness and flexibility of the platform.

Are there any plans to enable installable third party app/extensions with talk.brave like zoom is currently rolling out their app store?
I completely agree with that user's statement:

>"The end result is a privately-owned hospital that operates as a non-profit on the books when it is anything but that... American doctors and hospital executives are printing money using the backs of their patients as the die. They take in millions per year in compensation that was given to them by people who worked hard and fell on bad times. It is one of the most shameful forms of exploitation in modern history."

I'm just unsurprised, as that is consistent with my view of many (most?) non-profits. I also think that the executive pay component is a smaller share than that Redditor seems to.
Do you remember the fraud that Greg Mortenson (of 3 Cups of Tea infamy) perpetuated regarding people in Pakistan? Many of those areas were FATA areas.

Part of the Taliban's origin stories over there have to be contextualized into those people's worldview and their culture.

For Westerners reading this, if someone over there declares you as a "friend", which can even happen with an innocuous casual meeting, it quite literally means that that person, their family, and all whom they consider as friends will die trying to save you or defend your honor etc.

That same extreme commitment to hospitality is cynically weaponized by terrorist groups to get volunteers en masse through political and religious means, whether that's framed as fighting Russian/American invaders or enemies of Islam.

It's quite a beautiful thing outside of that, but it only shows up in foreign media as populist support of bad actors.
It isn't about averages of a single person. If we're talking about 500 people (for example), if 220 win big on Crypto, that's 220 people with "f*ck you" money. Even if the other 280 lose money and the average is "loss" that doesn't stop the others from leaving a job.

People voluntarily join health sharing groups. They are run by non-profits, some of which have no religious affiliation.
That needs to be made illegal tomorrow.

Heck, sounds like there could be a Civil Rights Act case, if prices impact people differently based on race or sex or other protected class.
There are several datasets of programming puzzles, of increasing difficulty.

Basically, you write a test, let the algorithm find the program that passes it. Hopefully, at one point you reach GPT-3 level performances where it is able to imagine programs for tests it never saw.
IMHO in-house solutions usually sell because you are in the position to sell. That is you simply force everyone working for you to use whatever code you put up.

And apparently it's a lot easier to sell if you were the sole developer in the group and newbies were brought in under your guidance.
This is an abstract response to a concrete demonstration of usefulness. Of course, if I'm writing crypto code or something where I don't understand the domain well, relying on Copilot would be foolish. But for a well-defined problem like the one I faced, juggling tree representations and a little recursion, being able to specify what I wanted and have the machine generate the code was actively useful and did actively save time. Also, don't you read your code once you write it in the first place? IF you've written it, you know what you meant, and are more likely to read something you didn't even write there, whereas if you're checking over the shoulder of your computerized coworker who has no ego to get hurt, you can be as critical as you need to.
We don't have to reinvent the wheel. Other countries have solved these problems. They have better health care than we do. It's measurable, it's been measured, and no surprise, they have flat-out superior outcomes. They are dramatically more efficient. Our market focus is a cargo cult.
Curious, but not totally surprising. Infatuation and obsession with criminals, even serial killers, is also a peculiar and well-studied phenomena among women. See: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ted-bundy-netflix-chris-watts...

Men on the other hand venerate so-called great leaders of history, most of whom bear the responsibility for wars and battles that cost many more lives. Veneration of killers seems much more common-place when we zoom out from the women/criminal perspective and look at the bigger picture.
> Meanwhile Objective-C is slow, unsafe by default, with super ugly syntax only a mother could love. More than half of Apple's CVE/iOS vulnerabilities lately have been from parts of the OS that still use ObjC,

Objective-C is quite fast–in many cases faster than Swift–and as (memory) safe as Swift for the most part. Most of Apple's CVEs come from code written in C or C++, not Objective-C.
I'm not so sure "no rights zone" is an appropriate framing here.

A more appropriate comparison, good and bad, are like Native American Nations inside the US. But we're not talking about small pockets here like reservations. We're talking entire massive, massive areas.
Ivermectin from horse paste cleared up all of my long covid symptoms except for lung inflammation which prednisone fixed after the ivm. Pretty incredible. Felt better after a few hours and after each subsequent daily dose of five total.

A lot of the studies don't seem to be using enough doses or they use too low of a dose. I was at .06g/kg body weight per dose. Also you need to take it with zinq!
We update within a day of Chrome on all channels.

> If the relationship is going to be that minimally frangible, people will hesitate to relocate to a company town at great impact to their family, only to repeat every time a shadow crosses some book.

Most tech jobs are not in single-company towns, they are in tech hubs, which have a large number of alternative employers.
Using a file system as a metadata storage system is pretty dumb - especially when music files have ID3 tags built into their formats. There are tools that will help you fill out the metadata in the tags based on your file system layout. Once you do that you can use the tags to slice/dice. Smart Playlists are very powerful.

Or you can use one of the many other apps others linked to if you really want to stick to the whole filesystem thing.

I quickly got away from trying to organize stuff in the file system when I got my Personal Jukebox 100 (PJB100) - literally the first hard drive based MP3 player out there in the mid 90's. It heavily relied on MP3 tags so I developed tag discipline early on - and never looked back. Tags are WAY more flexible than folder structures. I couldn't care less how files are stored in the file system.

This conversation always amuses me - we don't complain the computer tracks all the parts of our files in a directory while we have no control over the layout of the files on disk - mainly because that's a level of minutiae better left to automation. For me it's a similar things with my music files. As long as my tag information is accurate (and since it's the first thing I do when I add something to my collection, it is) I can manage my music collection however I want irrespective of where the file is.
I feel that the sine qua non of "social media" is user generated content conducted between specific users:

tied to specific accounts, where users have one-to-one public conversations and those conversations are foregrounded as the site's content.

I do feel that message forums/ usenet/ bbs/ etc meet those criteria in various ways and I do consider them forms of social media.

I know that this seems overly broad to some people (and they have good reasons even if I don't agree with them in the end). I don't think "social media" is a pejorative in the way a lot of folks use the term... I mean, sure, HN deals with a lot of the horrible parts of what can be done with that media in healthier ways than, say, myspace did.

But just because HN makes it harder to track specific users doesn't mean that it can't be done... people very much do have specific accounts here, and I have often looked up past commentary these users have generated to get more context about their points.

Ventusky – Weather Data Visualization
The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) eliminated lifetime coverage limits. There are also limits of the minimum medical loss ratio.

Unlike property and life insurers, medical insurers generate very little income from investments. Premium revenue comes in at about the same rate as claims are paid out. They don't have large reserves to invest. And most large employers are self insured anyway, so the ”insurance" company just acts as a claims administrator.

> Bringing a new language into the world requires massive amounts of high quality documentation.

Very much agree. Not just a new language. Any complex endeavor requires this. I have written a server-based framework, including spending a great deal of time developing API documentation, and was relatively recently introduced to Postman. I have been using Postman to communicate the API to another engineer that is not RTFM (I've come to learn that folks don't like reading stuff, these days. I am looking at ways of communicating information in formats other than longform text).

I like Postman. The main issue with using it as a documentation source, is that it can easily become "cluttered"; especially as I use it in "back-and-forths," over particular commands.

I would have been lost, in my Swift education, without StackOverflow, although I hardly ever consult it anymore (mostly because it's rapidly becoming less useful; not because I don't need the help).

SwiftUI has some of the worst documentation I've ever encountered. Obviously, it was headerdoc-style, and no one was writing header docs, so I was constantly encountering empty pages. It was so bad, a generous individual developed this site and companion app[0]. I understand that the SwiftUI documentation is being rapidly improved. I haven't really started into a big learning drive on SwiftUI, yet, so I hope it is in better shape, by the time I get to it.

That's the style that functional programmers prefer. It makes it slightly easier to work with as you can now pass them together as one. Most OOP dependency injection is done through interfaces, but with the functional approach where you have functions as first class citizens you can just pass functions around. And as the best interface is a one function interface, that's the ideal way to do it.

The point being, essentially they are the same thing, they hold the same power, and it's just a stylistic difference.
I'm not disagreeing that is a problem, and the reason this is a thorny issue is that there is no reliable way to measure programming productivity: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/CannotMeasureProductivity.htm...

That said, while it can't be measured, I also don't think anyone would disagree that it does exist, in that I've easily see engineers that can produce reams of quality code in a fraction of the time other engineers can produce buggy code.

But yes, I do think there is an amount of judgment at the end of the day, which is why this is a tricky subject.
Keeping the price of connectivity high was never going to be a longterm privacy safeguard. The answer is probably legislation
Agile Principles: Welcome Change
You don't get 220 people with fuck you money and 280 that lose. You can only lose 100%, so you will need many, many more people to lose money for even a single fuck-you-money person.

You are much more likely to get one person with fuck you money and 499 losing most of their money.

And when you sum up all their money before and after, they will have less money after.
