> If we pass a working planet onto future generations, then those of the future who want the thrill of a finely tuned ICE engine should have an opportunity to experience it. After all, we did.

For a start, most people have not experienced the thrill of a highly tuned internal combustion engine. A few rich people have. Second, do you really want to define what people should be able to do by what people have done in the past? Really? You might want to think that through a bit more. There are plenty of things people did in the past that people are still apologising for today, generations later.

There's plenty of research about the unreliability of memory.
I remember doing this by accident in an email back in the days in which all interactions with a computer were in monospace (on a 80x24 terminal screen). Fiddling with margins to make it work is kind of cheating (and curiously, it seems
to be easier with narrower line lengths than wider ones). Doing it for an extended period of time with consistent margins is a real challenge.
And what makes you think that when presented with a problem those people who can grasp 2 concepts cannot get the 3rd one.

Was it shooting questions from the hip on the spot while interviewing them?

Or you hired 10 people and worked with them for at least 6 months to really know what they are capable of?

I think the former because no one has enough budget to hire people stick with them for 6 months just to see how they fare.

So what is your N to back up your claim?

Because it sounds like you really have something to say.

Yuck… So this pixar 3D crap is what’s called “cartoons” nowadays.
Suppressing something that is true makes someone untrustworthy. You don’t need a theory of their motives to explain this.
Not how probability works. What's the probability the entire universes atoms are arranged the way they are? The number is so finitely minute it's "impossible", because you're trying to make predictions on specific order out of chaos. The probability of any viruses currently existing would be equally infinitely tiny.

Research is not equivalent. Just because two people make an argument does not make them equally valid. Unless you are a medical researcher you're not meant to somehow know how medical research papers work and what their results are on your own. It's not black and white. It's the same as trying to take electrical engineering papers and base opinions on it without any knowledge of the math or how it works.
Thank you for reporting this, comrade.

I think one of the slight catch/nuance is that if you sign into Google in incognito mode, then your browsing history will be tracked by Google across both the normal browser and incognito mode.

The idea that Chrome won’t track your browsing but Google might is more than a little incongruous/confusing for the average user IMO.
Truth about Proton Mail: its shit.
I made an account 2-ish years ago. It got deleted. I dunno how. I could not make another account with that username.
Same issue here. 2020 Intel MBP, and when fully shutdown, pressing any key will turn it on. I would far prefer have a single, explicit power button. They even have one that seems as if it should be the power button (the touch ID sensor/key).
What low-status highly creative men need – Jordan Peterson
I don't think that is a mathematics convention vs computer science convention thing. Most languages, whether aimed at mathematics or computer science, have exponentiation at higher precedence than unary minus. (JavaScript does not, but it also does not allow unary minus directly in front of the base of an exponentiation so you have to add parenthesis no matter which interpretation you want).

The main places you find it the other way are spreadsheets and shells.

Is there an explanation from the Nim authors as to why they made such an odd choice?
> This is honestly the most damning part of evidence.

What evidence? There was a grant proposal, and the proposal was rejected. Why do you feel that the fact that the rejected proposal referred to North Carolina is supposed to be "damning" at all, or even remotely relevant?

> China would have strong motivation to have SARS related research considering SARS originates in their country.

It has. They fund their own lab at Wuhan. Why is this damning in light of a failed grant proposal that never went off the ground?

Reads like: "These people are too stupid to use my internet."

Your faith that your poor old relative can come to no good end if he's allowed access to public forums is not an argument I can respect. You could be wrong, and where's your right to keep him from going to hell in his own way? Find him better forums that can help, if you so fear the people he may meet.

"On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog" is still one of the greatest reasons to have an Internet. People with differences can more easily ignore those and collaborate ont heir shared interests, and thats a good thing. Whether we approve of those interests or not is a separate issue.

How do you identify this class of people who aren't fit to be heard? Who gets to decide?
He does not seem to be a complete mindless dummy. Ever tried to contact and argue with him? I'd honestly watch that.

Same thing with Jordan Peterson. I must not agree with his stand points and positions, but his arguments are compelling at times and it is fun watching and following his stuff.
I can only broaden my view if don't look into the same direction all the time.
"Opinions about ProtonMail"
"Distributed" teams are teams where everyone works remotely whereas "remote" roles may include those where some workers are in an office together. It's an important distinction.
I think there is a lot of truth to what you say here, and it is certainly reasonable.

However, I believe that it describes a relative conceptualization of the world (Group <X> "is" <Y> relative to Group <Z>).

Hopefully the idea that I am trying to communicate lands as intended within your mind. Assuming it did to a sufficient degree: if you were to rerun this same evaluation process from an absolute perspective, do you think it would come out to at least some significantly different conclusions, paint a different picture, etc?
Accusing your critics of being communists is a famously strong argument against being a reactionary, as all of modern history has shown!

Show HN: MinIO introduces Multi-site active active replication
The only truth about Protonmail that matters is that they're the latest in a long list of startups that will let you make a new account without doxing yourself, because they're still in growth mode. Try making a new Gmail account these days through even just a basic VPN and they'll demand a retina scan.

If you're concerned about hiding your identity, you should be doing that by additional means (eg TOR browser). If you're concerned with security of your message archive, you shouldn't be using webmail. If you're concerned about metadata, you should be communicating with something other than SMTP.
Yeah, you’ve hit the nail on the head.

The idea you can be in Google Browsers private browsing mode that says Google Browser won’t track you but in reality Google will still track you in that mode given the chance is a huge piece of slight of hand for the average users.
Is Pixar 3D crap?
That happened 8 years ago already.
I’ve been using protonmail as my email host for probably 4-5 years now and I have been less than impressed on many occasions.

For one, their iOS app sucks and has a ton of UI bugs.

For two, they offer an SMTP bridge app that you can host on your own machine to use their service with an SMTP client, but it randomly logs you out and forces you to re-enter your password (on the server side, not the client side) to keep using your email.
There's a conflict in what you say. If people don't read documents and will ask when they need something, why invest in creating heavy tickets filled with the text they don't want?

My team (and many XP teams) gets by just fine organizing things with cards that have a modest number of words on them (5-10, normally). When we need something, we ask. It works fine for us. We're a distributed team that has never met in person. But it also works fine for in-person teams: https://williampietri.com/writing/2015/the-big-board/
At the very least, say something like "Websites, including Google, will keep tracking you". The existing text isn't nearly as explicit about the fact that Google will keep tracking you as it should be.
Absurd how this is getting downvoted when the obvious assumption by non-technical users is that if “Chrome” isn’t tracking you then “Google” isn’t tracking either. And the the simple fact is that Google shouldn’t track you if you’re using incognito mode on its browser.
> Google should stop tracking users when they’re in incognito mode.

Google (the Chrome development team) should not track users when they're in incognito mode if they even do.

However, Google (the company and its services) should not care whether a user is using incognito mode or not; Otherwise you're asking for the implementation of additional functionality beyond what incognito mode is intended to provide (ala DNT, etc), and making it specific to only Google, and not other websites, would be a strange position.
I see this all the time from some people.

"I don't want to be political."
<posts pro-gun, pro-police, pro-military stuff>
"Why do you keep making things political?"
<posts editorial about Afghanistan>
"Stop bringing politics into everything!"
<posts meme making fun of masks>

I think some of these people sincerely don't recognize how political their own views are. They think they're just being patriotic, as though definitions of patriotism aren't political. They think they're just expressing religious beliefs, as though their own religion hasn't had an intensely political role since the day it was founded. To them, "politics" is only about deviating from what they know is Right And True. As long as you agree with them on every political topic, they don't think of it as politics.
It depends on the use case. For a lot of people who don't use TTS directly, we're exposed to it through public announcement systems on transit/airports and phone systems, or sometimes voice verification codes.

More natural speech patterns would be useful in those venues.

I did a bunch of work with TTS about 15 years ago for a project and had landed on Festival and the Nitech voices as the best free option at that time. It's interesting that this seems to still be the best free non-cloud option available.

What a lot of people don't realize is that Festival is intended for creating new TTS voices based on your own voice. The fact that it generates TTS is an artifact of it's main function. I've never messed with that functionality myself but I always wonder if someone could train a synthetic voice to sound better with a larger sample set. The Nitech voices are definitely better so it's certainly possible to encourage Festival do a better job.
They probably already had some inside but not for general use, but to exchange data between the two ends of the cable. Modern power grid is smart, and it has data connection along side power, they do that also on overhead power lines (the upper cable beside the three phases serves as a protectoin from lightning strikes but also has a fiber inside). In practice the power network also has a completely isolated LAN (for obvious security reasons) to manage the whole infrastructure. At least in my country it's done like that.
> The idea that someone hosting a product on the internet should be able to control how I access my data or services is utter nonsense and it’s amazing that we’ve allowed it to become the norm.

Nobody can control your data unless you give it to them. What do you want to do that doesn’t have an open alternative?
Well that's great.

The post I responded to contained this:

> Time for reading is a privilege. Only those with "normal" jobs have the stability and time to associate rituals with reading.

Virtually everyone has time to read, even if it's 5-10 minutes between shifts. Whatever time you spend reading or posting on HN could be spent reading a book, which is not to say that it should be, only that this "time for reading is a privilege" stuff is nonsense.
Well, really "Pixar." Pixar at least knew how leverage their weird style; everyone else ran with it and made it god awful. But my thought exactly. Why even do this with something that's so offensively awful to look at?

That gripe aside, if you're just training on a bunch of headshots and generating new ones, it's been done, over and over at this point. Want to impress? Figure out how to generate a full sequence of coherent animation frames.
So as a random citizen you can't do a cost benefit analysis of whether to talk to the police but you can somehow evaluate whether a law professor, seemingly unrepresentative of his profession, is giving good advise in a bizarre Youtube video? That's some selective learned helplessness.

If you are too ignorant to evaluate whether to talk to the police then you are too ignorant to evaluate the accuracy of the video.
In the Perec instance, it's what was called by the Oulipo group (of which he was a part), a Lipogram. Perec wrote a follow-up text in which the only vowel used was e. A Canadian author wrote a suite of five novellas each restricting themselves to a single vowel. In his case, he went through a dictionary by hand and created vocabulary lists for each novella.

I've read the English translation of La disparition and I'd note that (a) the act of translating a Lipogram is kind of its own special challenge (which might be also why the Spanish version chose to omit a instead of e—without e, a wide class of plurals and all third-person forms of to be are lost, although a rules out most feminine nouns) and (2) the writer/translator ends up building a vocabulary of standard circumlocution to avoid the forbidden letter, e.g., “this/that man” in place of “he.”
Have you forgotten the original Tesla Roadster? The Miata occupies a very specific niche (there are other sports cars, but none with the same balance of affordability and performance and availability as the Mazda Miata), but there are quite a few EV sports cars. They're just not remotely humanly affordable.

I have had some sort of problem with battery discharging on my MBP after shutting down fully from Windows. I can't use sleep/hibernate on Windows at all because it crashes upon restarting, with a kernel panic that is reported to Apple next time I start MacOS. That seems to have to do with initiating the Touch Bar. Things are fine when sleeping or shutting down from MacOS, but three times now I have shutdown from Windows and disconnected from power, then the battery is almost fully discharged (1-2%) when I turn on the computer less than 24 hours later. I don't understand what might be happening while it is fully shutdown.

'We will not boost our way out of this pandemic,' CDC director says
>No, I left out the weasel words from the original claim.

It's not a "weasel word", "Scientific theories placing a low enough probability to match lay usage of 'impossible', and clarifying that you mean as much" isn't a weasel word; it's being precise, and scientific theories do classify things that way.

>Either GP's claim is factual and indeed he is aware of proof of impossibility, or he is not and he's just knowingly spreading disinformation.

There's a third possibility: OP is aware that some scientists think the mainstream scientific theory places a low probability on the claim in question, but does not rise to the level of an impossibility theorem.

>I object to the idea of random people on the internet knowingly spreading disinformation with baseless claims that fly on the face of critical thinking, and then resorting to vague appeals to authority, inversions of the burden of truth, and outright bullying to force-fed their disinformation.

I don't see how the parent did any of that, just how another commenter is overreacting to ideas they don't like.

Yes that’s fair - and I’m not necessarily saying he’s wrong. But I think his framing reinforces an us vs then perspective, and if we practice seeing another group of people as deeply broken and misguided then we reinforce a divide. And in a way, that justifies other people’s anger at us. So even if this distinction exists, I’m not sure we should practice noticing it.

They're not just vowel removal abbreviations or similar though, they seem like things that'd be common errors - 'missles' is how a lot of Americans pronounce 'missiles', if her film and television is any indication, for example. 'Careful' is one of those 'eh what can I say, English spelling is weird' words anyway - 'care', 'full', why shouldn't it be 'carefull'? I'm not a teacher, but I bet that's a common error.

Adding to this issue I would like to give some of my opinion on webext.

To be honest Firefox add-ons process is so grotesque. For instance I can't load my extension without signing in Firefox stable version. And their tool especially web-ext has lot of issues like takes lot of time, gives pesky error if your system time is incorrect (my isp has blocked ntp servers and idk why and switching to vpn just to update is painful tbh). And developing addon is also hard for firefox compared to chrome as the dev tools frequently give message unrelated to extension etc.

Sometime I get so angry but I have been using firefox nearly for decades. Its so hard for me :(
