Hi HN Community,

We just published a beta version of our service which allows you to integrate data protection protocols in order to limit the exposure. Whether you need to securely collect and store sensitive user data or simply allow exchange through your app, blindnet gives you an ability to limit data access only to end-users, allowing you to record meta-data.

We focused on developer experience and simplicity. It takes only a dozen or so lines of code to integrate blindnet. All you need to do is register a user with the service in order to allow them to exchange data security with and/or through your app. You can read more in our latest blog how to use blindnet to secure healthcare data online and provide total privacy between patients and doctors: https://medium.com/blindnet/data-minimization-101-b9d8d96fd2...

We are currently in public beta and offer the service for free. Check it out and then let us know your thoughts at hello@blindnet.io. We are eager to hear what you are building with it!
How many is too many (people to piss off)? Take your statement in another context.

Say native dissidents pissing off local government / foreign natural resource exploitists.

Or, americans of african ancestry attempting to be heard / get equal rights in 50's america. They were certainly socially disapproved and silenced by society at large.

Social oppression is the most insidious form of censorship. It needs to be combated with the most vigor and rigor.
Fortunately, there's already a FPGA plug-in replacement for the SID, which can also act like the later MOS 8580 _and_ supports stereo/dual SID mode.

"The unit is considered by Amazon to have been in the seller's custody the entire time "

While it was actually i. amazon's custody.

I understand we have freedom of contract, but contract that directly contradict physical reality should be considered invalid or fraudulent.
I agree. It's a great metaphor. I'm also going to start using flamebait more frequently, where previously I just lumped it under the more generic "clickbait" (a flamebait headline is a clickbait headline but a clickbait headline is not a flamebait headline).
Here it is:
If inflation continues to rise, interest rates will rise too. If interest rate increases x2, house prices will fall proportionally. So you might end up owning more to the bank than you house is worth in the market.

> Yes, you can write functional style code, but you can write functional style code in C, C++, Java, Python, JS, Ruby, Common Lisp, Scheme, etc etc. That does not make any of these languages 'functional'.

Lisp-family languages (both CL and its immediate predecessors, and Scheme) for a long time were the textbook example of functional languages. The relatively novel (and still niche) attempt to redefine things so that only pure functional languages are “functional languages”, and particularly the people that insist on this usage as if it were firmly established and abuse those who don't conform to their preferred redefinition, is a bit annoying.
Many command line tools have been adding 'tty mode' for years so that if you run the command through a pipe you get simpler output that is easier to parse and record. If you're at an interactive shell you get all of the 'special effects'.

You will still find many that don't do this properly, especially if you run the commands through a CI tool which is typically a dead giveaway. Browser based log viewers aren't going to handle VT100 escapes and so you see garbage in the output. In this regard using unicode emojis to pretty things up works more reliably.

I would presume that a screen reader should do the same thing. Turn off tty mode so that the stream is easier to parse.
They're probably referring to the inflated housing bubble that's currently hanging above the country.
HN has another issue, though: anyone expressing an opinion that goes against the HN "group-think" (for lack of a better word) gets downvoted to oblivion as a result, even if no participants go on a flame-bait mission. Most common topics that inevitably end in such downvote-fests are free speech (which is a minefield in itself, given that the US and European notions about free speech are radically different), nuclear energy, genetic engineering, government regulation and social security systems (with the exception of US healthcare, which seems to be generally hated).

A democratic debate based on facts or legitimate political differences (again, this is really prevalent in issues that have different mainstream viewpoints between the US and Europe) but still civilized in tone should not result in half the comments being greyed out or flagged.
Seems like it would be mostly effective for killing people who are asleep, or for intimidating innocent people. Don't like the idea of this thing wandering into my house when I'm having a kip. That said it doesn't seem like it would have much of a chance in an active fight with an alert and armed human being. Deeply fucked up though
I said single, not unmarried.
Pretty sure my depression stems in part from looking at the world a bit too critically.

What an absurd article.
These articles always fall short at the end by suggesting we be more mindful when it comes to how we use smartphones. It's about as easy to use a smartphone in moderation as it is to do heroin in moderation. There are trillion dollar companies and some of the world's best engineers working as hard as they can to boot your "engagement" and keep you hooked. Good luck fighting that as a one-man army.

Just get rid of the smartphone. You really don't need it. On balance, it's probably not making your life better. We tend to focus on the few benefits and ignore the all-in costs. I tossed my smartphone a while back and was expecting disaster. It never came, other than a few mild inconveniences. If you absolutely need to, get a cheap android just for work that gets shut off and put in a drawer at the end of the day.

The most pernicious thing about the smartphone is that we've convinced ourselves that it's 100% impossible to live a happy and productive life without it.

But yea if you have support for Win11, then why not clean install it anyway.
I wrote similar here: https://github.com/ahungry/janet-pobox although it probably needs updates to work with 1.18 and above.
This is the actual interesting question here. A simple constant slowdown seems physically impossible, and explanations which apply equally to Intel CPUs can presumably be discarded.

So I would guess, as the previous reply does, that it's probably somehow linked to the threading issue.
Man Group, a UK money manager, wrote a report in March, "The Best Strategies for Inflationary Times" https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3813202 .
this reminds me of two other hypothetical projects: Fully Automated Luxury Communism, and The Australia Project from Manna (https://marshallbrain.com/manna1).

This is the (I would think, obvious) utopian ideal of a post-scarcity or late-scarcity economy. The hard part is actually making it possible, ie routing through the potential futures to get to this destination. You have all of Earth's accumulated sociopolitical baggage as a headwind, plus the challenge of designing and implementing a global adaptive logistical system. I'm not saying it's impossible, but the fantasy is the easy part.
The market is too large to ignore it - that is the catch 22 here. They are damned if they do and damned if then don't.
Without having dug out the study, I'm not sure that applies here. "Here's an experiment that suggests X could be a thing", later studies find "yes, might be a thing, but doesn't translate very well to other setups and cases" is completely fine process. What's not is someone coming 40 years later and throwing a breathless generalized headline on it, despite actually mentioning the negative results later.
Booting with a Live CD (recently USB flash drive), can have you back up and running in 15 mins or so. Even doing the install that replaces /usr etc only takes 30-40 or so.

Isn’t naming things after certain people always ideological? There’s no science behind which person gets their name slapped on the side of a building. Even leaving it named Linnaeus is ideological, it just happens to be an ideology that was the status quo
True but links are sorted in competition with other links with a zero baseline. Comments piggyback on the link popularity will always show up on the page. Exception of course the massive 100+ comment hot topics.

Thus links resting state is a quick falloff and death. In contrast comments tend to hang around, even bad comments if they are part of an interesting conversation.
OONI | Mobile Developer | Full-time | Remote | https://ooni.org/

Are you a mobile developer interested in defending human rights on the internet? We have a job opening for you!

The OONI team (a non-profit fighting internet censorship, originally born out of the Tor Project) is looking for a dedicated mobile developer to work on OONI Probe: a free software app designed to measure internet censorship and network performance.

If you join our team, you will lead the development of the OONI Probe mobile app, supporting human rights defenders worldwide to investigate and fight internet censorship.

You will work on improving the OONI Probe mobile app and create new features to meet our global community’s needs. The Android app is currently written in Java, while the iOS app is written in Objective-C, but you are also welcome to use Kotlin or Swift.

Ideally, you would work on both the Android and iOS versions of OONI Probe. But as OONI Probe Android is run by most OONI Probe users around the world, we are primarily interested in contracting a developer with strong Android app development experience and expertise.

This is a full-time 12-month contract position, starting ASAP. The contract may be extended depending on the contractor’s performance and the availability of funds. The yearly contractor fee will range between 50,000-60,000 EUR depending on the contractor’s relevant experience and expertise.

This is a fully remote position. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the OONI team always worked remotely online. We communicate and coordinate through OONI Slack channels, we have video/voice meetings regularly, and we track our work on GitHub.

Our team members are currently based in Europe and North America, but we encourage applications from anywhere in the world.

Kind of pushing it if you want to use it for regular cases though!

Funny to think in GPU-years given more's law. Payloads like this (stochastic) have an expected time, not an actual time. It's pretty rare that you can buy 'enough processing power', usually have to go through figuring out and perhaps adjusting the payload to the computational platform yourself. (computing market is not per ops, it's per actual minute of computer time - rare to see it offered with 'compute this before')
Curious that this is also the strength of tiktok algorithm, because you're able to send it negative signals
I agree wholeheartedly, but this made me chuckle:

> providing trusted computing that might actually work this time.

Ahah, sure. <Pinky & the Brain tune starts>
Nope. This thing doesn't talk 6510 nor supports the ROM banking used by the C64.

I came in contact with this credible hacker last year when i was actually trying to get a new home for my family and a car as a birthday present for my son who just turned 18 , I couldn't fail to do that because i have made the promise to him Long long ago and need to keep my promises to him though my credit was very bad for me to take out a loan .. i was lucky enough to have came across DOOMHACKS AT BK DOT RU who helped boosted my credit to 790 when my initial score was 400 and that's very poor .. Took him time but what matters is that he got the job done .. I'm writing this with a smile on my face because I got what i paid for .
A tactic not mentioned is for Crossover to advertise US jobs with insanely good salaries. Based on the business model, I am inclined to think that these were (two or three years ago when I saw them) misrepresentations of actual pay, designed to appeal to hungry applicants.
You can flag submissions, which works sort of (but not quite) like a downvote. Plus, there are some mechanisms limiting "edgy content", e.g. if the comments/upvotes ratio starts screaming "flamewar!", the submission will drop off the front page like a brick.
You'll be paying over 30% more in the worst case, just fyi.
Back when termcap and later terminfo were developed, most terminals didn't support ANSI escape sequences, at all, and used completely different control codes. But that was 30+ years ago. It was for actual dumb terminals that could only display text. These days, it's a safe bet that any terminal emulator will support the ANSI escape sequences.
Isn't it more about whether it is illegal rather than whether it is done in bad-trust?

If you worked for Amazon, I suspect you would push very close to the line of legality in order to maximise profits, which makes you look dirty but doesn't necessarily get you in court.

The problem for me, perhaps like many, is that there are just too many things that I can easily find on Amazon that are much harder to find elsewhere. I don't believe they are particularly ethical but I also don't want to spend hours looking around different sites when everything is on Amazon.
Stores absolutely use placement to promote one product over another. Eye level shelves are prime space, low ones near the floor are for cheap products with low margins. And “end caps” (the short end of an aisle of shelving) are for high visibility product placement.

The brick and mortar equivalent of pushing search results to page 2 is to just stop carrying the product—considerably worse than being on page 2.
I like HN because the quality of discussion is consistently high. I wondered how is HN doing that, but always suspected its all about moderation.

Seeing the thought process of a moderator explained in such way makes me realize how low my bar for "good moderation" was. Thank you dang.
The principle is simple: There are baseline needs in our society currently not met for a large number of people, and it is the responsibility of government to provide that baseline (food, water, shelter, basic healthcare). Beyond that, we should incentivize people to work in some fashion to be a contributing member of society.

Second and somewhat unrelated: The inequality gap is growing, shows no signs of shrinking meaningfully. The means of production are becoming more and more automated, so the owners will accumulate even more wealth while millions more lose their jobs and sources of social security. Thus, the government should ensure that the owners of the means of production are taxed to extract that accumulation and provide for the people.
Numbers are all super ballparky, but the top 10% of US citizens hold about $60 trillion in wealth[1]. If you redistributed that to every American equally, that would put about $200,000 into each person's bank account[2]. I think that would do a lot to alleviate things like college debt, credit card debt, and all the myriad woes that come with poverty, all without printing a single dollar.

(Yes it's a complicated problem, you can't liquidate wealth like that, and obviously dropping two hundred K into everyone's bank account would probably create some weird issues. But that's a high-level overview of the problem.)

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_Wealth_Inequality_-_v2...

[2] $60,000,000,000,000 / 300,000,000 people == $200,000 per person.
> I agree, but that's also the price to be paid by living in a society.

I really dislike this point.

I keep seeing it as a justification for more government control, typically without real justification.

> We could just remove all safety nets whatsoever and deal with whatever instability results, but I don't think that's in most people's best interest.

Has welfare been in some way proven to increase stability? Seattle, Portland, and SF all have strong welfare programs, but they seem to me to currently be much less stable than other cities.
I think you are facing problems that many other senior candidates are facing in this job market. The number of candidates on the market is at a high, and companies are being extremely picky about who they want to hire. Add to this the fact that expectations of senior candidates have risen, sometimes unrealistically high.

Perl is a dinosaur, and will not get you as many job opportunities as something more recent. But the programming language is hardly the stumbling block. Most shops know that experienced people pick up languages, frameworks etc. easily.

Here are some suggestions:
- Building/operating software on AWS is really becoming a basic skill most people are expected to have nowadays. You could get an AWS certification that shows you are serious about building skills in the area.

- Apply to jobs on LinkedIn. You will get a better selection of jobs that are tailored to your needs, and I have found that recruiters respond to LinkedIn applicants a bit more.

- Consider a job with a nonprofit org, such as a university. These places have more legacy software, and are also unable to compete with the open market. You will face a reduction in pay perhaps, but you can get back into a job, where you will have a stronger negotiating position.

- Not having a job somehow makes you less attractive to recruiters and hiring managers. It's bizarre, but go figure. If you interview with the goal of getting hired anywhere and get yourself into a job, you will strengthen your hand considerably.

- Try not to reveal that you are unemployed when you initiate a conversation with a firm.
The biggest difference in mild vs medium vs major depression is how long you experience symptoms. They all have more or less the same symptoms, it's just that major depression lasts a long time. All forms of depression are a warped view of reality. This article, and the experiment that it draws from are wrong.
It’s up to stripe to decide if there is enough transaction now to make it worth it, or if they want to be one of the first to support the market.
So after watching that, you think Trump was NOT speaking off the cuff (during a 2.5 hour press Q&A he was doing daily at that point, versus a very adversarial press), you think he WAS NOT describing the UV therapy I linked to above? He was just making up lies to hurt people?
There are so few votes per view that I'm not convinced that matters at all, not upvoting is enough of a signal.
> I guess just eat out less, right?

Yes.

Adjusting behavior based on increasing prices (or, alternately, increasing wages) is normal.
Windows is a joke, if only Microsoft didn't have such a strangehold on the enterprise market we could see see progress on the workstation front.
This is a simple proof of some relatively deep results in number theory. It should be accessible to anyone with at least a couple semesters of university level math.
The business model is spreading, I've encountered it in a few American cities. One reason for its popularity is that it takes a lot less skill and training. You're seeing unskilled servers as a problem, and it sounds like the restaurant didn't capture your full order. That's friction that will eventually drive a change, and business owners will take note of alternative approaches in their industry.

The alternative appears to be paying staff a living wage so they'll stick around long enough to gain the skill you find lacking. My money is on cheaper, lower skilled, commodity jobs.
> is probably more about customers spotting them on the shelves than trying to get customers to buy yours instead.

That's the same thing. They don't put Aldi brand cornflakes on the shelf just to be eye candy.
A Galaxy S21 comes without Lineage pre-installed.
Ah good point: I guess I'm talking about "offtopic" vs what "flamebait". Hmmm... How about if I shoehorn my argument into that shape though: if the problem is constructing an echo chamber by downvoting differing opinions, is that OK? Can we have a board that is predominantly one set of opinions? Again, I'm not entirely sure that is a bad thing all the time. (Putting aside the opinions of sociopaths and other universal unsavories.)
Looks like it's just guessing the object and then finding images tagged with that object. I was hoping for some sort of scene detection to find specific scenes from films.
I had never hear of Vanadium before. Thanks!
I'd say over 90% of people who bought cryptocurrencies have at best a half-baked understanding of the technology behind it.
OTOH, you could have no understanding of the tech inside microcomputers in the late 70's and still think it was a good investment, if you had an idea of its potential uses.
It's like 90% done. ehhhhh we can fix that in production
What laptops have that without having a number pad as well? I know my macbook doesn’t have a better hone/end/pgup/pgdn. I personally hate laptops with number pads because the keyboard is then off center, so I just accept this sacrifice on laptops.

I do really wish they had macbook-like arrow keys, which are very effective for touch typing since the half-size makes them easy to feel.
I agree that there's plenty of room for improvement but I wouldn't say that most of the downvoted comments I see are just “contrarian legitimate and respectful views” — usually the ones I see heavily downloaded are also things like standard issue talking points repeated with no additional contribution and/or especially those containing falsehoods or material omissions.
Do you know how many writers are boring? Most people don’t read books. The books are boring, the awful writers became authors of books. Truly dreadful and boring writers. I don’t think people realize why people gravitate to ‘flammable’ writers on the internet. It’s the most interesting shit they ever read, literally, ever. Can we respect that on some level?

only for some jackass to pop into the thread for the first time with a borderline (non-moderatable) comment that lit everything back on fire.

My dear friend, I suffer from serious depression, and whatever chaos one person can create with words is pure joy to me. Do not moderate my happiness.
As someone who lived through "extreme inflation" in the 70's and 80's, we're nowhere near that. The rest of your claims are just the typical Fox News hyperbole.
As a chronically depressed person who was once on SSRIs for a long period of time, I disagree. I don't know if being depressed gives me a more accurate view of reality, but I would say for certain that it does not inherently give me a less accurate one.

I’d never have thought of this, but it makes a lot of sense. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I might even give that method a go.
So is AI really needed here?
They've been saying that they improve things and WASAPI for every version since Vista but it still does not performs as well as ASIO (and ASIO is muuuch more simple for the audio application developper than this WASAPI hellhole...)
The most interesting quotes from Steve Jobs are when he was at NeXT
Yes.

One of the things I've learned over the years on HN is that I don't appreciate comments that are generic expressions of identity. That is, if somebody posts a comment that contains nothing specific to the subject at hand, that boils down to "I am progressive" or "conservatism is good" or "X is evil" I downvote it. That sort of comment is the bread and butter of so much internet discussion; we don't need more of it, and it doesn't contribute to what I enjoy about HN.
I believe AWS can create spot autoscaling groups which include a minimum baseline traditional instances plus a floating level of spot instances. This seems to be a nice compromise.
