> some of the most transformative global popular movements in recent times. E.g. Arab Spring

In what exactly was the Arab Spring successful? As a show-case for how far-reaching, and heavily, American social media can influence even rather foreign cultures? [0] [1]

Most of the places impacted by this "spring", are nowadays worse off than they were 10 years ago.

Well there is the crowd chant which sort of kind of sounds like “Let’s go Brandon” if you have hearing problems, but insofar as I can tell they don’t also say “horse paste.”
True, but it’s interesting… some of those new world plants spread so quickly that, for instance, many New World foods were first introduced to the US from the Old World, and knowledge that they were actually New World would have been quite limited.

For instance, chile peppers spread from South America so quickly that subsequent explorers of Africa, China, etc. misidentified them as being native to those and other places.

In the US, even among native communities, chile peppers arrived largely with slaves from Africa, and were thought of as exotic.
Charging has been disabled even on non-totaled vehicles and 3td party chargers. Tesla has a right to kick out some cars from their charging network, but this is not the case.

Did you actually try to order spare parts from Tesla? It is just marketing BS.
Even though I'm not a beginner now, I could guess, seeing an array that contains a magic function at its nth index (useState), which could mutate n-1 th index, would have baffled the life out of me.

Maybe beginners these days are not much of a beginner at all ;)
I don't know why the ASCII characters for record and field separators don't get more love. That is what they are there for. My suspicion is because they aren't type-able, so people rarely encounter them.
There are lots of people working on versions of these.
From similar discussions, this seems to be binary - compared to a 'normal' dashboard (which while central isn't in the driver's eye-line whilst watching the road, is often dark or lacking in contrast, and can be obscured by the wheel depending on the driver's size and seat settings) people either love or hate the M3/Y's screen location. I get on fine with it (and flicking my eyes there is arguably better than my other cars' 'traditional' dash location) but others don't.

Agree that a well-designed HUD might be the best of all worlds; interesting how very few cars implement this, despite it having been technologically straightforward for decades.
That doesn't give you the env vars that the script might have set.
Personally I’m quite happy with every blog post that someone claims to be burned out in. Al least I feel like I’m not alone.
>Taleb is smart

Even though he is smart at risk management, can he be an IYI (intelligent yet idiot) when discussing another topic?

I personally think everyone is an IYI in some sphere.
Are you not watching Sinema and Manchin? Two people (maybe another half dozen, quietly) holding up legislation that much of the country wants to pass
I agree with your sentiment but some of the quotes in the article from internal Google memos look pretty damning. One of interest says their "Jedi" advertising program, which was meant to subvert legitimate ad competition from other exchanges, 'generates suboptimal yields for publishers and serious risks of negative media coverage if exposed externally.'

I also would like to see some changes but this seems like a case of Google actively trying to be evil. They architected their systems to choose their exchange, even if another exchange had a higher bid, and then lied to ad publishers about the practice, along with fully acknowledging it in writing! How much more self-aware could you be? How could people, in good conscience, work for a place like that?
Ironically, it doesn't parse Hacker News' RSS page.
Can any of the downvoters on this comment enlighten me about what they are seeing in this comment that those like myself don't see? It seemed like an otherwise normal comment, it just contradicts what some of the rest of us might think. That's not something that is wrong or worthy of being silenced.

Can we give this person another chance and maybe, in the spirit of the weekend, allow a contradictory opinion to appear in this discussion?
I don't have statistics but it's, frankly, blindingly obvious. In a rapidly growing market, staying still as a business isn't a static situation because the landscape around you is changing. You're shrinking in relevance to customers. Even if your margins stay the same, your competitors margins are going down as they scale up, which means they will undercut you on price and you won't be able to do anything about it.

The premise of this discussion is static revenue, but you can't assume that. You'll have to work harder and harder just to stand still, until it becomes unsustainable. You might be able top sustain a business by focusing on a niche specialist market segment, but at that point you're not recognisably Google anymore. As for greed, that's an incredibly naïve way to view it. Nobody creates a long term business plan that aims for irrelevance.
What is meant is that Firefox's market share on desktops is 8%, so it is more popular on desktop than on mobile.
I couldn't put my finger on it but now I can: it reminds me of wooden puppets theatre, and that goes way back. I wonder if it had been an influence for Eisenstein.
I used to work hard to assume the best about right-wing narratives. That started to change when they refused to accepted the election results even after bringing it to SCOTUS.

Since January 6th I assume the opposite: Many of these people are working to destabilize our democracy. I have zero interest in accommodating them.
General question to EU people: do you enjoy trading data privacy for consolidation of goods/services into larger and larger corporations? After all, they are the only ones can afford such expensive relationships.

Edit: This question isn’t about compliance. That’s easy. It’s about the downstream impact of “missing” data in the advertising ecosystem.

Some posters have pointed out that the EU still has a viable local press and a history of supporting smaller businesses. All true and something that sets it apart from the US.

Also, my original question is a admittedly cheeky, but I am interested in how smaller companies actually compete if their options for targeted marketing are limited.
> sure, looks successful

> Pseudo-statistical garbage

Seems like the author is just making a relatively benign, and half-hearted, conclusion (that React has gotten more popular) based on the data available. When I hear more people talk about something, that generally leads me to believe more people care about that thing. Does it have a P value that a journal would accept? No. But this is an opinion piece about a cool tool the author likes, not a paper on a new drug. You're going a little off the rails.
There was a foobar2000 plugin that I used for this and I could tell a difference but it was not easy. I had to listen intensely to higher frequencies like hi-hats. If I did not know that I was being tested I would never know the difference.

I collect/archive music in FLAC but convert down to mp3 when syncing to devices.
The idea is to return to a fish shell, but with all the env-vars that bash might have loaded as a result of executing the script.
Which, interestingly enough, was forced on IBM in the form of a right to repair/interface provision in an anti-trust consent decree targeting mainframes.
You think they're the only two Democratic Senators or house members that don't want this legislation?

I don't. They're cover and the lightning rods for other reps in swing states.

Also, a large chunk of the country does not want this legislation to pass (I'd even go as far as to say potentially a majority).
Advertising is essentially just lazy attempted fraud, one person trying to convince another to give them money in exchange for something they may or may not need or want. I understand it in a more absolutist free speech country like the US. I don't at all understand why a society would ban, say, hate speech while still allowing uninformed, non-specific advertising. Seems hypocritical.
You mean like CBOR?

The best part of consulting/doing your own thing? People only look at your portfolio of work, you know, like every other profession
You’re honest. YouTube isn’t.
Whether he likes it or not, having no Bitcoin exposure is an open Bitcoin short position. That position has been a disaster for anyone that maintained it over the past 12 years.
The alternative being weak data privacy laws and the same consolidation happening anyway?

But yes, I'm fine with it. Compliance is really not that hard until you reach the scale of those same dominant players.
What do I need to read to be a CSS dev?
Tell that to James Robert Liang [1].

This isn't about protecting the company. It's about protecting yourself. You're opening yourself to be a witness in a suit (nobody wants that), thrown to the wolves by the company (who will attempt to portray you as a rogue actor) or criminal prosecution.

Now if the company is doing something unethical and it's why you're leaving, then sure write that down as long as you're not admitting personal culpability of any sort.

Likewise, if you feel like you're being set up to take the fall for something, a paper trail can help you.

But otherwise, if you're in an ethical grey area and decide you want to continue to earn an income to, you know, live then there are such things as "inside thoughts".

GDPR is leverage.
While I agree that Musk is overpromising the capabilities of FSD (or timeline thereof), and the rollout may be too soon, I also think the article is very one-sided. The so-called "Tesla Fans" seem to have a point in that it is a bit suspect that her research receives funding from Tesla's direct competitors[0], and that she seems to be on the board of a LIDAR company, for which she receives $400k in shares per year[1].

I also think it's sort of ugly that Musk is now being smeared as this republican guy, for character assasination. He seems to mostly stay out of politics, considering his influence.

That is an impressive evolution for Cloudflare. This reminds me of DNS providers growing quickly. At a former org, we set up DNS with two of the biggest DNS providers in the event one of them went offline, as sometimes happened. I am curious how many of these domain owners have a secondary CDN account with inactive code toggles ready to switch to a backup CDN provider if this single point of success were to have issues. Do people account for this in their disaster recovery plans? Has anyone automated this with some form of GSLB health checks that will change their code toggles and/or DNS or use a secondary CDN?
> The Wayland section is also perhaps the most technically inaccurate of the post

The author is open to valid criticism and updates the article whenever someone points inaccuracies or falsehoods.

You and the guy replying to you, both say nothing technical or factual aside from "it is all wrong or/and inaccurate". That's very hard to act upon.

> In other cases the criticism reflects broad technological trends that are equally true for other systems from the same era (e.g. client-side rasterization), and for the same motivating reasons.

Yet other systems provide a level of integration and ease of use (APIs) which are leaps and bounds above what the Wayland protocol offers. That's the main gripe.

It doesn't really matter. If they are gonna run with using Mastodan when the official product launches, soon, they'll have to release the source then anyway. If they scrap using Mastodan, then nothing is lost by releasing the source.

They're a billion dollar company ran by a billionaire, they should be held to a higher standard then your average joe, since they have way more resources to do things correctly.
Why would gross profit be the relevant metric here and not net profit?
If are building both Windows and Linux software, that might be convenient. But not particularly more convenient than any other virtualization layer, just more limited (can't install other oses) and with a difficult to maintain and secure host OS. WSL seems to not compete with dual boot, it is competing with other virtual machine software now that is just nicely dressed vm.
Good news for us.
RSS is a finished specification but it does support extensions.
No BTC exposure = open short position

99% of the people on the planet knowingly or unknowingly have an open Bitcoin short position.
Due to various internal reorgs my manager currently has a number of reports approaching that number. It's mostly gone fine for now, because there are multiple teams under her that are mostly self-sufficient in deciding their product direction. We have a team lead who isn't a "manager" but is providing input on what we do and we go to her when we have problems or need administrative work done. It's not horrible.
> Netflix is pretty much the only FAANG that does that.

Netflix is also 20% of FAANG companies, so that's not as lonely as it sounds.
Its a bad song and I don't want to listen to it to get all the lyrics. [0]

>Pandemic ain't real, they just planned it, ayy, ayy (They just planned it)

>Biden said the jab stop the spread, it was lies (I remember)

That is all I can see as far as "medical information" goes. What a joke. This song is bad, it would have fallen off the charts if they just let things go.

Will this result in an increase in O2 levels? If yes, what risk does that bring?
Absolutely. Advertising is the root of all the evils we face today in this technological society. I too believe it should be eradicated. If not by force of law, then by literally driving their return on investment to zero by blocking all their ads to all their users by default on every browser, every application, every operating system, every router, every ISP.
We were talking about F-Droid removing Gab from their platform. This has nothing to do with Trump/Biden/politics at all.
Most of the nations where these kinds of restrictions are in place aren't in danger of getting their hospitals swamped to that degree.

It might be correlated (they might not be in danger of this because they have said restrictions), but that makes it very hard to convince people.

I personally do think that restrictions at this point are kinda pointless (at least in Europe). We've had enough time to get vaccinated and unless we're planning to live with these restrictions forever now, there is little point on keeping them active.

Postponing it more makes it worse on my opinion, because the vaccines lose potency with time.

But I'm just a random person from the internet.
Today this is not something that affects day-to-day lives in any meaningful way I don't think.

Additionally, the EU seems to be big enough of a market for corporations to still bother with providing privacy-friendly variants of their products that mostly function in exactly the same way.
Specifically targeting poor Americans. Billionares dont break there money up into 600$ accounts. US gov is nazi Germany 1939. Civil rights fully removed. Obey or die slave.
I had to look up what the "Let's go Brandon" chant was; forgive me for being crass, English isn't my first language but it sounds like they're saying "Fuck Joe Biden". Judging by the comments in the video I saw, I think that is what they're actually saying rather than encouraging the young man being spoken to by the person with the microphone.
imagine if you didn't need a DSL . LISP all the way down
So you’re saying yes because you believe the consolidation is happening regardless?

Probably true in Europe. Regulation and taxation schemes are onerous there. Only the large can survive.
I’m getting really tired of these distictions people make, saying either class components or hooks are better.

Class components were fine. Hooks are also fine.

They both give you plenty of rope to hang yourself with. And if a component in either form is hard to understand it’s probably just too f big.

What bother me most is those people that have no clue how hooks work, but claim their “functional” components are now faster, because they’ve read that functional is good somewhere.
they've actually stopped doing this recently because they're getting "canceled" via loss of donations every time they do. people don't want defenders of freedom of speech anymore. they want internet points for virtue signaling.
On the topic of odd bit computers I worked with a Harris H100 24-bit mini-computer until 2011 in military aviation. As mentioned elsewhere some old paradigms are still present in these arenas.

There isn’t much left out there about that machine anymore unfortunately. Every boot required inputting a specific set of digits into the registers via the front panels switches to bootstrap the physical storage device, which had been upgraded to a 3.5” HDD at some point.
> In my humble opinion, any region should force all manufacturer of cars that will be sold in that region to hand over data (or methods by extracting the data)

This is precisely what is required from Tesla in China.
Why don't these companies just offer a paid version of their products? Giving people an opportunity to back out. E.g: Pay X per month to use Google and you get no ads or tracked. YouTube does something similar, but I guess they still track you.

I personally would still mostly use the free ad-supported version.
The source of the problem is Tesla's misleading marketing about self-driving when the technology is in it's infancy and decades away from safely reaching high automation.

It's a minor miracle that there are still politicians willing to regulate, these companies are becoming very powerful.
It's definitely immersive, but after a while I found it wasn't any more fun than normal gaming, and the constant setup was horrible. I still can't look at a headset without wishing ill will upon the Oculus Home developers. Maybe I'll pick up another headset someday when I don't have to fix the play area every single time I use it and can put the headset on without thinking whomever designed it has a grudge against people with glasses.
That's a very weird reading of that response. But no, that's not at all what I said.
It just pours cement on industry~wide invention and replaces it with bureaucratic innovation.
But how do smaller companies make you aware of their products if they can’t target you?
Yeah, the last used record store in town went out of business 5 years ago.
OK, that has nothing to do with YouTube censoring content and proving a false excuse why...
The data privacy laws makes people think harder about the collection and usage of data. That’s definitely a good thing. What I don’t want to see is big corporations subvert that
Nice project, good to see it appear occasionally on HN.

For me, SWI Prolog has always been the elephant in the room because there is a ton of good software written in SWI. That said, since it is such an ancient system (but still under active development and supported), I am not surprised if there isn’t cruft/technical debt in its implementation.
The system is working as designed if it's keeping the Typhoid Marys at bay

Right, but they're a strange company that just happens to be in FAANG. Pretty much every other large company, in the FAANG acronym or not, will give you equity.

Show HN: Low-latency jamming over the internet
Heya - I recently made a desktop app that lets you jam live with your friends over the internet.

You can read more about how it works here => https://sub.live - but essentially the latency we achieve means I can jam between UK and Denmark with <20ms !

I also added video because it really helps to see the other person.

If you're interested - the tech stack is :

* Electron embedding a Svelte app
* Websockets to a node server to handle the users/room
* C++ sub-process that handles the UDP networking and audio

BTW It's also free to use for both Windows and Mac.
Larger and larger corporations are needed to violate EU privacy rules and get away with it.

After the initial scare of the GDPR, most organisations found a way to live with them.

But obviously, it will become very tricky, and potentially costly if you want to violate people's privacy.
The award is taxed at the same rate, but theoretically (in the States, at least) you can hold them for a year after they vest and only pay the much lower long term tax on the appreciation of their value. In order to easily compare apples to apples this assumes that in the alternative to getting RSU's that you would actually get compensated more income instead in proportion to the value increase of the company. An equivalent would probably be to compare a cash bonus that is directly tied to the value of the stock vs the equivalent gain in RSU. All else being equal, the RSU gain is more tax advantageous if you have held the RSU for a year or longer before liquidating the position.
So, you think it’s OK if the car you own spies on you, using electricity you pay for?

I’m rephrasing it that way to show that, depending on details this might be close to what Apple intended to do w.r.t. child pornography, something ‘the internet’ wasn’t a fan of, to say it mildly.

There’s a difference here in that there’s an ‘investigation’, but you’re also talking of ‘car crashes and accidents’, so this could get reasonably close (we already have cars that call 911 crash; should they also report it when they hear car accident-like sounds that co-occur with unexpected car movements?). Who’s going to decide whether an accident is serious enough to warrant this? Should car owners have the right to disable this kind of recording?
Many times they do. And then they put ads on it as well because why not make even more money? Also, paying customers are worth more to advertisers.
Yeah the full paragraph is “Today I will be your rabbit guide. Please follow me in my rabbit hole.” which is to me, as a native speaker, pretty clear the author is guiding you through their rabbit hole of Rust optimization and not something more juvenile.
In reality it is the unvaccinated that hold us back from living freely like before.
I just read your edit. It doesn’t seem like I had a weird reading at all.
Imagine the number of ex-bigcorp applicants for those positions that coincidentally left their previous employee on exactly the date the job offers went up ;)

Has anyone actually seen the video and not just read the lyrics on genius ? Maybe the video itself is what actually caused the ban ?
