I think you might be failing to take into account that the population of Flint (the ones getting paid) is slightly less than 1% of the population of Michigan (the ones paying).

It is essentially equivalent to a retroactive insurance system. It is as if everyone in Michigan had been required to buy "State appointed manager mishandles water system causing lead poisoning" insurance, and Flint is now having a claim paid under that insurance.
I know this is anecdotal, but I ran a Carvana offer today just to see what they’d give me for my one year old Subaru Forester. Their offer is $2,000 higher than my payoff quote from the bank. I haven’t tried shopping around to see how that offer compares to Carmax or a dealership. I still need this vehicle, but it’s crazy nonetheless.
> Why on earth do people trust a closed source messenger owned by Facebook, which backs up to Google?

Those are some of the few companies that are large enough to oppose governments.

> Signal and Matrix are open source

The main advantage of which is to enable audits like this, which WhatsApp is doing.

Of course you can't actually build WhatsApp from the audited source or pin it to the audited version... but you can't do that with Signal either. Not to mention that you're stuck with closed-source Google Play Services (or closed-source iOS) anyway.
Yeah I formulated it simplistically to not make the comment too long. But I didn't mean to imply that a tar file is actually created on disk or anything like that before compression happens.
sorry you got downvoted so much! But would be great to know the purpose of the extension, and why the service can't work without it
The current state of the Windows Store is a holdover from the early 2010's where "number of apps in our app store" became a huge KPI and something for the CEO to tout to the board of directors. Apple and Google kept bragging about these numbers at their respective developer conferences/yearly refresh unveilings and therefore Microsoft was all too happy to accept any and all apps into the Windows Store at the time in an attempt to appear relevant.

Times have changed, though, and you could argue that now many people would like less app clutter and easier discoverability of the apps they actually want. What end user is benefitting from all these carpetbagger apps squatting on Firefox's brand? I don't know what the policy or action looks like to clean this up without instituting heavy hand moderation of the Windows Store but I feel like something has to be done. The way it is now is unsustainable if you want the store to have any value at all.
Well not many since Tuvalu’s land area is actually increasing:

Not true. I went from not knowing JavaScript to delivering a 52 page web application using Typescript and React in 4 months. Meanwhile an “experienced” front-end developer spent 3 months trying to decide which framework to use. It depends on the person not whether he/she is back/front/experienced.
All I'm saying is that I understand why Apple doesn't want CSAM on their servers, while also reserving the ability to implement end to end encryption on photo galleries in future.

It's a tough line for them to walk.

Personally I don't see any substantial moral difference to what Apple was planning versus what Google and Facebook already do, aside for the somewhat icky aspect that some initial CPU cycles are occurring on hardware I own.

I'm equally concerned that a purported need to scan for CSAM could be used by legislators as a way to convince the population that the Government needs more encryption backdoors. Personally I'd rather have my photos inconsequentially hashed than have encryption legislatively broken.
Presumably, people know about this possibility, and it's reflected in prices already?

For many people a car is a productive asset. As in, they need it to do their jobs. Even if it's just to commute to work.

So 'overpaying' for a car now might still be the right thing to do, even if you know full well that it's gonna lose a lot of value in a year or less.

> WalMart has higher e-commerce revenues than Amazon according to this by almost 30%

What? Here's a quote from the same article:

> Our global eCommerce sales are on track to reach $75 billion by the end of the year.

This has to be the annual sales figure right? Amazon surpassed this number several years ago.
This is false. The security company has its own reputation to mind, and its people their own conscience. (There may be cases like you're saying, but "anytime" and "purely" is completely wrong.)

This is first-hand as well. But I'm not the one making a universal claim.
Yes, I'm an American but back in the mid to late 90s I had a job that took me to Germany a lot. I think I wound up doing about 20 trips over about an 8 year period, one to two weeks each time. I didn't have any problems with the service, one I adjusted a bit to some different conventions: Germans tend to be blunter sometimes but they'd still help handle what I needed to get handled efficiently. I could struggle through basic conversations in German by the end of it, but we'd usually switch to English for anything nontrivial (or a language mix if the person I was talking to had limited or no English).
To me the point is to remove the negativity. They don't want to be the targets of the same criticism as FB. It's also seem to be a cultural trend in the US that only positive comments are accepted.
I'd consider those more software engineering/management books than computer science in the like theoretical and fundamental sense - not to say that they aren't great books though.
Bye bye youtube. Wokeism ruining everything.
Or is it? For me, it's the first result. And that's how app stores are supposed to work: once enough users install the app, it skyrockets. AFAIK, Firefox on Windows Store is still pretty new, going from zero to first place shouldn't be instantaneous if rules are fair.

I've been hearing people take sides in the GNOME vs POP_OS "debate" and have seen mentioned of what happened to Linus - and until reading this I had no idea what was going on. I will say that as much as I like twitter, the biggest challenge I have with it is knowing what people are referring to in these big public debates.
Yup, I was surprised when I found out it had Sponsorblock integration. Immediately ditched Youtube Vanced in favor of Newpipe at that moment.

It works on Hacker news since the vast majority of people here share the same interests. The same is true in theory on reddit, where the voters on a single subreddit share the same interests, and importantly reddit has rules against brigading to at least try to enforce that limitation.

The basic problem is whether a downvote on a cat juggling video means "this is a bad example of juggling cats" or does it mean "I don't like cat juggling"? On YouTube, it's much more likely to mean the latter, but it's the former that's actually useful.

A simple "energy budget" analysis would immediately reveal that current detectors have no hope of detecting any artificial gravity wave sources.

What they're picking up now is events with titanic energies, things like black holes merging and neutron stars colliding.

These are many, many of orders of magnitude more energetic than even supernovae!
Analog and RF circuits are laid out completely by hand! But there are often a lot of symmetries and repeated structures that mean you can re-use a lot of layout. Also, designs are often copied, reused, and repurposed, so those layouts just get modified to adjust, which saves time.

For large digital circuits (e.g. CPUs), it's all automated. There's a lot of human involvement, but ultimately a computer is placing all the transistors and wiring them together.
It's customary to have those events.

You'd have to look at the actual discounts they give: if they are small enough, they might just be equivalent to those flyers you mentioned.

(Though in a well functioning market, we shouldn't see empty shelves. We should just see higher prices. And if you raise prices enough, you can just drop them a bit for a promotion.)
Despite the list of caveats above, the bottom line is that almost everything works out of the box.

If I would create a similar list of issues for Windows or macOS, it would be much longer.

YMMV, so you might need to try it yourself before making a more informed decision.

Testing the hardware support from a USB stick is something that can be done rather quickly.
Controversial videos, or those by controversial creators, are the ones that get brigaded. If you're inside a filter bubble and can't see a dislike count how will you know what you're looking at is controversial? Yes, the ratio is not representative of the general population but it's the signal that matters.

Would you rather not know something is controversial?
What mechanism would you prefer for nudging people outside of filter bubbles?

I'm happy to be generous and consider all videos with heavy dislike ratios as victims of brigading and not of public sentiment.
I mean sure great way to downsize if you plan to fire everyone. Otherwise you just keep those that can’t find another job so you get the worst employees
The fraction of political videos on Youtube is "definitely not small"?! I'd be surprised if it's more than 0.01%, i.e. if more than 1 in 10,000 videos are political.
It's remarkable how nearly everything you just wrote applies to Belarus (with small changes):

>Pol Pot and his government were responsible for the death of 1/4 Cambodian population in a short amount of time, not counting deaths from neighboring countries.

Adolf Hitler and his government were responsible for the death of 1/4 Belarussian population (a third of them Jews) in a short span of time, not counting deaths from neighboring countries.

A lot of Belarussians joined the partisan effort, the largest guerilla warfare of that war (including the writer of Come and See, an acclaimed film about those days):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_and_See

The history about this period is interesting if you're looking for a good read. It's not being widely taught, even in Russian K12 education.

Both Vietnam and Belarus were liberated by the Communists across the border, who have ruled both countries until the collapse of the USSR in 1991-1992. Ever since that, both countries have been under a de-facto dictatorial rule of a former communist official (though holding "democratic elections" on paper) - Hun Sen in Cambodia, Lukashenka in Belarus.

There are many differences, of course, but there aren't many countries that lost 25% of their population to genocide, were ruled by communists after that for decades, and have been ruled by the same person since 90s.
Yep agree. 25+ years of experience here. I went from not knowing JavaScript to delivering a complex 52 page web application using Typescript and React in 4 months. Doing web frontends is way simpler than writing compilers or optimisers in C++ (which is what I also do).
There are devices that are arrays of microphones that can be used to detect what direction a noise comes from. The Army uses one to triangulate rifle fire, and Boeing started using one circa the 787 to locate cabin noises (planes have a sound insulation budget, and positively identifying the ingress points allows for better ambient noise levels).

My point isn’t that is what is happening now, I was pointing out a hypothetical that is believable enough to think may happen in the future.
I remember something similar happening to me on Android about 8 years ago. At the time the Firefox Android app just came out but I just couldn't google it. Like absolutely no results at all on the store or Google. I had to use DDG.
P/E is a meaningful metric for established companies that have exited the hyper-growth phase and have reached some scale. Not so much for younger companies/startups because it completely ignores potential future growth. You can’t compare the P/E of coca cola with Rivian or Tesla
I'm saying it's really easy to just kill the cellular modem in pretty much any car. Just short it with solder if you want to. Now you can enjoy almost any car with none of the privacy concerns.

If you prefer older cars that's fine, but there's an easy workaround if the issue really is whether or not there's a cellular modem. I've done this before on multiple vehicles and it won't void the warranty for anything other than parts you want to disable already.
So after poisoning thousands of people (including children that will suffer for life), somehow nearly no punishment to those responsible. Imagine how corrupt a system must be to allow those involved in poisoning thousands of people to get away with it.

Then to add insult to injury, instead of justice, throw a handful of cash at the victims. While a huge payday for the lawyers, the money will barely be anything for the victims. Especially for those whose children are affected for life, or those dead and dying from drinking and bathing in contaminated water.

Your comment is amazing. You read that article written by someone that narrowly escaped genocide and your mind immediately goes to what is essentially communist propaganda. You don't express anger once at the people involved in orchestrating the killing, you don't assign any blame to the actual ideology that was used to justify mass slaughter. Instead you just spout a programmed response.

That definitely scares the shit out of me.
us media is complicit in crimes against Asians. They will avoid reporting on it as much as possible, and if they do they will try to butcher the story or try and make it seem as if the privileged white lady is the victim.

san francisco, california, and likely the us as a whole, is anti-Asian from top-to-bottom. From the heights of politics and big business to the lows of the ghettos. From left through to right. Whether crackkk, blackkk or spikkk. All get off on robbing our labor, talent and lives.
Nothing to be sorry about, I got a good job and a good raise! But it still consumed all my energy for half a year.
Any asymmetrically engaged group is going to lead to metrics that aren't generally useful. In little bubbles, sure, but to everyone else it's just digital pollution.

Imagine that there was a group that really, really hated the color green, and they're so passionate that they fly "We Hate Green" flags outside their house, completely tie their identity with hating green, go to we hate green rallies (imagine having that little respect for your own time?), wear we hate green shirts, make up childish "We Hate Green" code words (e.g. Let's Go Purple!) for when they are among the greenies, and these people seemed to have endless idle time to sit brigading every bit of content to downvote it or leave nasty comments because something in the video was green. That is just noise to everyone else. Everyone else -- the majority of the public -- finds no value in their hyper-polarized, agenda-driven contributions.

And I'm not just talking about people who like green, but people who are indifferent or even anti-green but they don't find any value in having a review bombed because this idle group was mad that they thought it was "green woke".
They manifestly don’t care. Their UIs tend to be poor. If they cared the UIs would improve.
Can confirm. I did brakes and rotors on all four wheels on my 4WD 2012 Tundra a while back. Went smoothly and I knew that all bolts were properly torqued when I was done.
Nope not true. I routinely switch between working on Typescript/React web applications and hard core C++ servers, compilers and optimisers. Most of the skills you need are the same.
Yes, the continued abstractions take away performance and filter or corrupt the software often of no fault of the game designer. It is unfortunate, Jonathan Blow's video is amazing and he does streams on twitch, I remember they asked him what he thought of the M1, his response was that we can make programs 100x faster today but nobody wants to program it, and the video talks about we trade time to program for lower performance and ease of use. Remember the times when games shipped completed, and now you expect it to take a year to update and it constantly does so on consoles? Every game is an early release now.
Tell me what you think of the video, I think its very relevant.
>> I usually avoid buying new but used cars are nearly the same price as new (if you can find a dealer that hasn't done ridiculous 'market adjustments').

>It seems like the dealers who didn't make these 'adjustments' are leaving money on the table?

I believe their behavior is somewhat constrained by the manufacturers, who have slightly different sales goals in mind. They take a longer view, where new car sales are more than a sale, it represents a chance to upgrade the customer in a couple of years.

Dealerships, on the other hand, often take a very short-sighted view of customers.

My job might require me to install apps from Honest Achmed's App Store, Certificate Authority, and Used Cars (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647959).

I would have bought an Android if I wanted a free-for-all platform with limited security updates, multiple app stores, and other debris; I chose an iPhone so I wouldn't have to deal with these issues.
Really, what is there to write about though?

His influence on modern technology is almost all flash and no substance. All you need to do to confirm that is look at how technology has stagnated over the past 10 years. The 70s gave us C, the 80s gave us affordable home computers, the 90s gave us desktop metaphors and friendly computers, and the 2000s gave us... the iPhone? The 2010s is even more ephemeral, as his 'legacy' has mostly just encouraged other companies to build their own walled gardens and enforce insane monetization strategies. Bud Tribble said it best: Steve Jobs' greatest attribute was creating a reality distortion field. His demeanor was what made people see the iPod as more than a hard drive with a clickwheel strapped to it, or the Magic Mouse as a legitimate replacement for a traditional pointing device (history knows how that one turned out).

Maybe it sounds like I'm being rough on the guy, but it's hard to deny that the majority of his life was dependent on hyperbole and marketing magic. His 'Disneyfication' of the consumer technology is made out to be a lot more sophisticated than it really is. Apple is barely able to hold on to that facade these days as regulators and antitrust organizations start to press them.
Doesn't the Cybertruck beat the R1T on like every conceivable metric? https://insideevs.com/features/434634/tesla-cybertruck-rivia...

Not only are most of the specs better, the price is better for the lower end versions, and get unique features like steel and armor glass. There was a toddler killed by a stray bullet on I-880 last weekend, I'm thinking he might have survived in a Cybertruck.

Of course the downside is maybe gangs will start buying Cybertrucks and use them for drive bys.
eh, I would guess it's more like one PM wanted to get a promo by making a high profile change, and by claiming they were protecting some victim their case became politically unassailable

This image detector is literally a permanent search warrant. The State wants "false" positives.

Is this a bug or a feature? Yes.
My understanding is that the video codecs are pretty clearly ahead for lossy compression, even for small numbers of frames. Image codecs got stuck in the jpg/gif/png local maximum, hence why a lot of the new image codecs (webp, heif, avif) are conceptually "one frame of a video codec" (vp9, h265 and av1 respectively)
Posting a bit late to this thread, but anyway (this snakeoil salesman really ticks me off, so ...)

The writer in question is infamous for making ridiculously bombastic claims about smalltalk which only serve to put off potential new-entrants to the language/paradigm.

He's been told, more than once, on various smalltalk mailing lists to kindly knock it off. Unfortunately, he has designated himself as "Mr Smalltalk" (I kid you not, really), and really thinks he's doimg the world a favour.

Treat him as a WWE "manager" wannabe, and ignore him (we really ought not to be linking to his nonsense on hn).

And please don't let him put you off trying out Pharo, cuis or amber smalltalk.

Mod: editorialized title. It's subtle, but it drives narrative with "equity" being such a trigger for folks lately, and isn't what the actual article outlines
I suppose it could be people checking multiple sources and coming back to downvote after assessing which is the right one. At least that's the world I want to live in. A guy can dream.
I was a bit hyperbolic in my statement, mainly because I was parroting some dinner table conversations. However your list is still fairly short and few are in the same location. If you say, get a PhD in the Midwest in EE specializing in novel transistor fabrication techniques, you likely will have to move states to get a job in the area of your expertise. And if you are unhappy in your job for any reason, you will have to move again to work for a different "big name" company.

I guess the point I was trying to make in my trite (and I admit, inaccurate) statement was that it's not as accessible of a career path as, say, coding. It's more like becoming a rocket scientist: there are very few companies to pick from in that field. And they're not typically in the same place geographically.
Why not? They’ve been making cars for 100 years and margins go up and down, no data sales during they heydays. Anyway, it’s not anyone’s job to protect their margins.
