You're assuming the rotated line maintains the same pixelwise thickness. A straight 1 pixel line edge-to-edge may not translate to a diagonal 1 pixel line corner-to-corner. I think that's what the parent is saying. No data is being 'compressed' here; the shear operation simply preserves all pixels uniquely.
The privacy and security risk comes in large part from the nature of code and actions performed on the site.

In reality as far as privacy goes, the matters are on average opposite to your claim. Most sites that will put your privacy at risk today are using https - I am talking about the vast majority of the commercially operated web today. I know my privacy is much better respected on a plain text (no javascript) site using http then on [insert a top 10k most popular site here] using https.

And for security, if I am not performing for example shopping or entering my billing details anywhere on the site, I do not see how a http site can compromise my security.

I actually prefer deploying http sites for simple test projects where speed is imperative because they are also faster - there is no SSL handshake needed to connect.
Yeah, from a UX perspective, HN is the same as Reddit, simply un-optimized.
if you dont have PostgreSQL it might be hard to create an index on that function. you can use a trigger that updates a fixed field on the row each time positive/negative changes, or otherwise run the calc and include it in your UPDATE statement when those numbers change.
that was never really a problem worth worrying about on the timescale of our lifetime and has now been definitively solved anyway

"I suppose we could call this the democratization of policing (and not so much a police state, though debatable depending on interrelationship and politization)."

Not even close in my opinion. All the authority, discretion, power, and immunity is retained by the police. They're simply using citizen's hardware/info, possibly to the detriment of that same citizen (depends on how far they expand the use).
Not nearly as cool as the DirecTV slow roll hack on pirates (2001):

Oh no. oh no no. Do you have examples of languages without the usual local scope binding semantics?

I think the example here is misleading and causing confusion.
Same here. I thought it was well balanced and interesting.
As an individual investor? Chill out.

People like Ray Dalio make money on chaos and the doomsaying bullshit. We’ve been at war for 20 years and just did a massive stimulus to avoid economic collapse, inflation is a normal and healthy thing to happen. It’s bad for billionaires with most of their money in cash.

If inflation is a thing, fine, it’s not the end of the world. Don’t accelerate the pay down of debt with fixed interest rates and don’t invest in most bonds.

As an individual, you should lock in longer term interest rates on debt and move your low risk portion of your portfolio away from bonds to cash. If you have variable interest rate debt (credit cards, line of credit, etc) pay it off. If interest rates go up, start dollar cost averaging fixed rate, non-marketable government debt like savings bonds as those rates rise.
Right now, today, small village can take $30k from their budget and build small solar plant in their backyard in month or two, and then scale it up next year, and the next year. No multi-decade committees and multinational efforts needed. Nuclear will never be cheaper, solar is practically infinitely scalable. Time for nuclear was in the 80s, now that we have better options, we should pool all our resources into solar. We no longer have the time! We already have the silver bullet and it's solar.

Anything nuclear-related is ridiculously expensive, if all those wasted resources went to solar we would be carbon neutral by now.
> All the affordable reactor designs with no risk of accidents or proliferation are just 10 years away like they have been for four decades.

So, like storage for renewables?

Seems to me, we're not concerned on R&D budgets, so we should pursue all relevant methods of decarbonisation, of which nuclear is a very promising one.
> The rise of distributed private security à la e.g. Citizen’s subscription service is a counrerfactual, albeit weak one, to this claim.

Private security forces have always existed! I don't think these provide a counterpoint, given that they lack any meaningful legal authority. At best, they're another example of police authorities devolving the grinding, boring enforcement work that they're ostensibly paid by citizens to do.
WiFi already works, but the existing patch (which was written by Corellium as part of their throwaway M1 Linux PR stunt earlier this year) needs a complete rewrite, among other things because the way it handles firmware is completely backwards. I know how I want to do it, just need to spend a day or so on that one, maybe another day on hooking up firmware copying into the installer :)
Please see the reply I posted to @JimDabell, I didn't answer you due to your rudeness, but my reply applies to your points as well, your wall of text was the same as his two sentences.

edit: I'll expand for you...

I'm sorry you wanted to get sucked into "is an experimental feature JS feature JS or not". That was not my intent. The entire intent was you can use JS by using the JSX extension. Instead of #for you use JS iterator functions. You can use non experimental JS features in JSX instead of conditionals or loop systems you roll yourself. Your only argument is "oh it's not included yet" okay, no shit.

Anytime someone says JSX is JS they don't mean it's currently in the standard spec, no one is arguing that, they're arguing you can use JS language features instead of a custom template system.

I used to hate voice messages, but I no longer think it is that black and white.

What I still highly dislike are voice messages without prior context or prompt. Eg. just receiving a message out of nowhere, not having any idea what it is about, having to dig around for headphones just to find out, that it says: "hello! how's it going?"

On the other hand, if I ask a person a question that can't be answered in just a sentence, I'm perfectly fine with the other person quickly recording a 1 min voice message instead of having to type it out.
Can you share some of your research about it?
What do you mean "without a good place to do so"? Many European countries have had dedicated facilities for this for decades, some of which even manage hosting agreements for storing other European countries' spent fuel. You say this as if you think spent fuel rods are just being tossed with other metal scrap.
Yeah sounds like it.
And that's fine. The simple fact is that he has repeatedly claimed that he/You "care deeply about trust [and] privacy." He can either back that up by addressing the many concerns people have, or he can avoid that conversation and leave behind two HN threads with extensive (and still growing) examples of why that claim is bullshit.

These threads can be cited forever, any time You comes up, and they'll speak for themselves. It's his choice.
It’s certainly not incorrect, these are not infinitely thin lines. The original line is 100 pixels long and 1 pixel wide. A diagonal stair-stepped line of 70 pixels is an average of about 0.7 pixels wide, which is why you’re deleting about 30%. You need to mush the additional pixels in somewhere between the stair steps to make it an average of 1 pixel wide again.
There's a plethora of opportunity for version control for almost every other domain. The technology is already there. The key to winning the market is in process change and sales/distribution.
IIRC, a simple approximation of that horrendous formula is :

(positive)/(positive+negative+1)

It rewards items with more ratings. Basically, you initialize the number of negative ratings to 1 instead of 0.
No, they were a thing in 1950s-1960s. Things moved in other directions, especially with how USA pretty much stopped approving any design other than LWR and PWR variants where Thorium fuel cycle didn't offer much (there were non-molten salt thorium reactors)
Almost no programming languages will do that. JavaScript will print "me too" twice if you don't use let/const, but that's not recommended.
One way to protect against inflation is to take out a huge mortgage on a house. Interest rates are low right now, and if inflation is high, the mortgage balance will be eroded away by inflation.

Not a lawyer. Zoom client on Linux works and is IMO more reliable (e.g. doesn't BSOD me) than windows, about the same reliability on Mac.

Teams is unreliable on every platform (having used it for years on Linux, Mac, Win). Would recommend against it.

Clearing documents metadata in Libreoffice, yes. It existed as far back as 7 years ago when I was running my own company, and my lawyers and I would be exchanging documents with potential investors.

This said, I also (when needed) run windows 10 in a kvm window, with Office installed, when libreoffice, or office365 is simply inadequate. This is ... rare. I mostly boot the kvm to patch it these days. Haven't needed its capabilities in at least a year (then again, I am not a lawyer).

Dongles (yubi-key, etc) all work great on Linux/Mac. YMMV though, if they aren't common systems. Again, you can run windows on a VM, and pass through that specific port (USB, etc.). It works, though sometimes the software is buggy so that it sends a reset, and you have to unplug/replug the dongle. This is from my Yubi-key experience on my windows kvm running on my linux laptop.
Silly but honest question: why hasn't google docs taken over the legal world?

I find g suite's collaborative editing waaay better than sending around docx/xlsx files with dates in the filenames.. and don't even get me started with that office365 thing.
That tweet you referenced is heavily cherry-picked: it talks about the results of violent-crime calls, and it doesn’t discuss location.

There are two issues with this:

1. Civilians are also murdered by police who are responding to non-violent offenses. A good example here would be the classic “shot during a routine traffic stop” situation. That won’t show up in the stat from your sources. Your source tries to say that by “controlling for violent crime, the racial disparity goes away” but that doesn’t make any sense.

2. Huge disparity across different LEO organizations. For example, according to this Harvard study, in Chicago the racial bias in the statistics is much stronger than in other areas: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/blacks-wh...

That same study also concludes that once you account for and amortize things, you are still 3x more likely to die in an encounter with LEO if you are non white.
50 year problem? Climate change is an 8 year problem. That's the main reason that nuclear is infeasible, we can't do it in 8 years. We should have started building 100s of nuclear reactors 20 years ago. Doing it now is too late. Wind & solar + batteries can be built much quicker.
I'm a veteran of the US Air Force. There is not a single person I'd met that didn't advocate for the decriminalization of psychedelics and pot in the current and long lineage of veterans that I've met in my time. Why they title of the article is trying to frame it as if veteran's haven't been widely outspoken about this since the Vietnam war is beyond me.

> At first glance, former military personnel might seem unlikely champions for illegal, mind-altering drugs that many Americans associate with the countercultural peaceniks of the 1960s and 1970s. But veterans have become powerful emissaries for psychedelics across the political spectrum.

What?
The only real attraction of the M1 Apple Silicon is the power saving it offers, especially on laptops where it means longer battery life. Other performance metrics are just temporary gains that AMD / Intel will match up with future CPUs. (Intel and AMD themselves used to compete similarly, with each bettering the other over the years, and it will be no different with Apple Silicons too).

Everybody understands that with soldered RAM, SSD and a closed SoC the M1 Apple Silicon Macs are just one step away from being a completely closed system like the iPhone / iPad platform - all that Apple has to do is lock the boot-loader of the Mac, like on iPhones / iPads, and tighten SIP to prevent installation outside of its App Store. When (not if) they do this, the users will be effectively trapped into the Apple ecosystem, with them beholden to Apple's mercy on how effectively and how long they can use their system (planned obsolescence).

This is why many with common sense have ignored the new Apple M1 systems, and continue to stick with the more open systems relying on AMD / Intel. Constant hyping of "Linux on M1" is meant to counter the perception of the closed-box macOS mono-culture, and give us the false hope that the M1 macs are just like any other Intel / AMD computer. Where as the reality is that unless Apple releases hardware documentation for it, all non-macOS operating systems on the M1 will always offer sub-par performance.

Why not store the waste in Pripyat? Chernobyl already has dedicated personnel and monitoring equipment for radiation control. The area is off limits to settlement and it's not like there are NIMBY concerns. Nuclear plants already store their waste on-site, which means the footprint of the waste is small. The exclusion zone is large.
2) Thorium molten salts are heavy on fluoride, so... ;)

Thing is, we don't need to use either in breeder reactors - SVBR is a proof, although Bismuth production is a problem - but that's what pure lead version is for.

Enough of this already. There are too many people on too many prescriptions. Lifestyle changes can contribute to a significantly greater reduction in T2D risk and have numerous other benefits including significant reduction in all cause mortality.

Tinkering with Ang II feedback loops makes people dependent on the drug as ceasing the input to the feedback loop induces hypertension rebound and is risky at best. If you really want to experiment with this and I don't think anyone should there are multiple enzymes that also bind to ACE2 and do not require a prescription. To be clear I am in no way suggesting those required to be on ARB's switch to the non RX options.

This doesn't have anything to do with Python but Ruby feels more of a natural language for doing rapid application development and active record than Laravel does.
I'm a longtime Rubyist who's dabbling in Python a fair bit nowadays due to the growth of the ecosystem and the libraries available. I find Python enjoyable to work with but the thing it makes me love more about Ruby is how in most cases you think about objects and the capabilities of those objects, whereas in Python it feels like a crapshoot (I'm sure it's not, it's just how it feels as a dabbler) as to whether you pass objects into a function (e.g. `len`), use methods on objects, or whether to even think of OOP at all :-)

Now, that's not entirely a negative, I quite like Python's freewheeling "do whatever works and feels best for you" ways, but that feels somewhat contrary to the Zen of Python's "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." (!)
It's all well explained - at this point you don't want to understand the solution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_geological_repository

I've cited this quote before: "Despite a long-standing agreement among many experts that geological disposal can be safe, technologically feasible and environmentally sound, a large part of the general public in many countries remains skeptical as result of anti-nuclear campaigns and lack of knowledge."

It's unfortunately the case that large parts of the public (in some countries at least) prefer banning a reliable and sustainable energy source rather than risking that some guy in 10'000 years gets cancer because he recklessly trespassed into an old fuel depot.
But who are these "some people" ??

We __know__ that asymptomatic COVID19 is one of the biggest challenges. Its somewhat a blessing that a large minority of people are so effective at fighting COVID19 that they won't even get symptoms. But without knowing "who" those people are, there's no way to really make a policy decision around their apparent immunity to this disease.

There's also questions about whether or not these asymptomatic people spread the disease. (Much like how vaccinated individuals can stave off the symptoms but still spread it around). Well, I guess that's not a "question" as much as certainty at this point... but understanding the why's and how's would be very useful.
To piggyback off of Dan, I'd also mention that there's a few other benefits of using OAuth. OAuth allows allows you to delegate all sorts of auth features to an external IdP, instead of handling them yourself like:

* Password management
* SSO
* A bunch of other features and security (MFA, Forgot password, breached passwords, brute force, password validation, threat detection, account takeover protection, etc.)

Another benefit of OAuth is once you use the OAuth authorization code grant in your app, you can swap out IdPs. So, that delegation pattern is really helpful for offloading the extra work of building Auth, and it can "plug and play" into any IdP that supports it.

At the end of the day, OAuth is the protocol that lets you delegate all the auth code to an external auth provider, instead of trying to build it all yourself.

> Do you think people who voluntarily install equipment to stop them from driving drunk are the people that need it?

No, I absolutely don't think they need it. Nor do I need it. But the discussion is about putting it in cars for everyone. They think I need to have a more expensive car, but they don't want to make their own cars more expensive until they can mandate that I do as well.

> "do it yourself before mandating others" is a bad faith argument

It's not a bad faith argument, and I've tried to live my life like this. One major consideration when I left the military is that as I moved up in rank I was going to have to enforce rules that I wouldn't actually follow myself.
