I've noticed that lots of C-suite and owner/CEO startup people have like three to five active business roles on their Linkedins.

A fun case of "rules for thee, but not for me" when it comes to anti-moonlighting clauses and such. I can't "give it my all" if I take some weekend gigs, but you can hold two C-suite positions, be on two boards, plus have an "advisory" role with some startup? It's a lot like drug testing for front-line folks while the C-suite are exempt (and would fall apart if denied their various chemical habits).

Shape detection is to have predictable QR code scanning across web apps, PiP as a browser API is necessary to enable it cross-platform. And image transformations are to try and collapse 100 js libraries of varying quality into a feature that people clearly want.

I’m a huge proponent of platforms aiming to be stable and largely not messing with shit but it has to be feature complete first.

Yeah there are still people who think network protocols have to use "network byte order".

Most recent weird case I discovered is CBOR, which is reasonably well designed (it's hard to get binary JSON very wrong to be fair), but the designers inexplicably decided to use big endian. In 2013.
One use case is, pair programming for remote work.

>Why do you think inclusion and good engineering are mutually exclusive?

I would not agree that is what I said. I'm not opposed to inclusion. I'm not even saying their decision is wrong. Maybe they are exactly what we need on the internet. I fully support their choice to do what they have done.

I have made a judgement against firefox. It has very clearly been neglected. There are a myriad of problems that have been unsolved for years and this is recent experience. I suspect nobody can refute this very real experience. I remember a time in history when firefox was a top contender with tons of market share.

So did I say that they are mutually exclusive? Certainly not, but in Mozilla's case their priorities are clear and the consequence of a bad browser is reality. they lost focus on their browser and it lagged behind.

I'm interested in why you asserted I said more than I did. Do you believe inclusion and good engineering are mutually exclusive? It certainly looks bad for Mozilla.

Yeah not really sure how people think trying to squeeze more money out of the platform will somehow improve the experience.

Twitter has not as aggressively monetized with advertising as FB has, I wonder if we will see the same soon.
> I don't like these copyrights persisting forever just so that the extended family of the original creator can collect money for doing nothing.

That's inheritance.

If your father builds a house before he dies, you will inherit the house even though you did nothing, it won't become public property.

If your father writes a book before he dies, you will inherit the copyrights even though you did nothing, it won't become public domain.

You may not like the idea of inheritance, or long copyright terms, but extending copyright way past the original creator life is a logical conclusion when you combine the two.

Yeah, if by "flu" you mean "not flu", then anything you say is possible.
Social media has downsides but that doesn’t mean it’s useless or has never been useful. It did connect people. There was a time when you lose touch with your high school friends pretty much forever when you move for college and then a different city.
Obviously. I'm using "kill" colloquially, in the same way the article title does. No need to be pedantic.

I hesitate to ask, but who thinks that?
My brother has served for around 9 years on a warship. Modern warships are using pressurized cabins to keep chemical weapons and alike out. He has developed allergies against cat hairs, dust and other stuff in these times. Prolonged times out on the sea with high levels of cleanliness (is that a word? non-native speaker here) might have played their fair share in this.

edit: Maybe another point or just a corelation for this thesis.
I’m really not pro-Facebook. And my slamming Twitter is because they genuinely are bad at building and improving consumer experiences. It’s always fascinating how Jack can have an innovative product org like Square and oversee a bumbling morass like Twitter. So interesting!

Copyright isn't just one right. It's a bundle of rights. In the US those are the copying, distribution, derivative work, public performance, and public display rights.

I'd like to see some consideration of setting different terms for these different rights. I don't see any reason for example that the optimal term for copying and the optimal term for derivative works must be the same.

I'd also like some consideration for having the term depend on the nature of the work. I could see a case for example for the derivative work right to have a shorter term for nonfiction than for fiction.

For nonfiction, what the author brings to the table is the work in researching and organizing the underlying facts. Give them long enough exclusive rights to make that monetarily worthwhile so that it gets done and we're good.

For fiction, there is cultural value in having a character developed consistently over the course of several works so I'd support longer rights there for the author.

Unfashionable opinion... No, that's not what it is. You can't just make stuff up. The flu is the name of the disease caused by an influenzavirus.
Probably not. Even if you got a "universal" influenza A vaccine, enough is known about the type of immune response required that there's no way it could remain protective for more than a few months. If your hemagglutination inhibition titer gets too low (and it does, within months), you are no longer protected against infection and disease. Sure, you still have T-cells, but getting an actual influenza A infection is the only real way of getting enough of those. The live attenuated vaccine works somewhat for that in children, but it's not optimal.
Certainly looks more than cosmetic in the photos, surely has an effect on the aerodynamics if you're flying around with mesh on show.

Not saying I ever buy illegal drugs, but my venmo history is full of people buying $80 of pizza or $150 of sushi -- this seems to be seller's preference, as far as I can tell. No one in my rather wide extended circle has ever tried to or even suggested using crypto for these kinds of transactions.
That suddenly brought back a memory of the first 3d rendering code I did - it was written in Basic on an 8086 machine running DOS 2.1. Not only did it take several seconds to render, it was only an unshaded wireframe line drawing. To be fair, there were techniques available at the time to make it quite a bit faster that I didn’t know. But it still blows my mind a little bit every time I think about how far things have come since I was a kid.

The fact that he points out what is and is not in the leak, might come back to bite him if the owners get very litigious. He should not have looked at it.
The literature has pretty consistently shown that adversarial examples can be found with only black box access (even with truncated prediction vectors), robustness methods are primarily a cat-and-mouse game between attackers and defenders, and the existence of adversarial examples is likely inevitable (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1809.02104.pdf).

The big question that remains is - so what? There's exceedingly few use cases where the existence of adversarial examples causes a security threat. There's a lot of research value in understanding adversarial examples and what that tells us about how models learn, generalize, and retain information, but I am not convinced that these attacks pose a threat remotely close to the amount of attention given.
I'm not a huge fan of some decisions from Jack's administration at Twitter (like killing Vine and their AR projects, or hiding of the cron feed) but I admire his discipline to manage two companies that by their own should be monumental task. Hope him the best, and hoping too twitter doesn't change for worst with this change.
And FB isn't bumbling? I have a much better experience on Twitter and far less intrusive targeting of ads/following you across the web - which is where FBs monetization happens.

The growth discrepancy has a lot to do with FBs innovation on the tracking component of things - advertising is what drives profit for these companies.

Yeah, looking at the internet archive it seems this version came about in late 2017ish with additional changes since. Prior to that it was using Flash. The page itself seems to be based on the original table based layout but everything in the actual cell that replaced the flash version seems to have been made in ~2017 with div based layout and JS based interaction. The images assets themselves look like they might have carried over from the Flash based version though. Interestingly they stopped doing 1995-<current year> in the copyright banner only recently.

So outside the containing <table> nothing seems to be from 1995 and outside the image assets nothing seems to be from prior to 2017.
If Brave lets me down, I'll revisit Firefox, but at the moment Brave is the most compelling browser in the space.

> I agree. As much as he tried to justify the dual CEO roles, it never made any sense.

If I remember correctly he was originally going to step away from Twitter to focus on Square, but then Twitter couldn't find a replacement and basically begged him to stay.
Internet Archive is not comprehensive; it’s missing boatloads of stuff from the early 2000s. This page was updated to migrate off of Flash Player sometime in 2017, as far as I can ascertain, which is probably why it appears “blank” before then.
> all the proof one needs that tighter gun laws make for a safer place.

You can look at Australia in 1997 for good proof of this.

They banned most guns in 97, almost doubled police per capita, and crime fell. Less guns, less crime, there are definitely no examples where that is not true. Done. Proven. Full stop. Do not continue reading.

Please pay no attention that during 97 crime had already been falling in Australia. That crime also dropped in the USA over the same time period but by a greater rate with no exceptional increase in police per capita. All this despite record gun sales in the USA.

Not quite an answer, but I used to have my whole library loaded up in one list and could search any part of it, including the path, using the "j" key to instantly play basically any song in it from the keyboard.

It was so good that I literally put an old desktop computer in the trunk of my car in 2000 (with eggshell foam bungee-corded around the hard drives for shock absorption) and ran a long keyboard wire to the drivers seat and I could queue up any song at all while driving with one hand without taking eyes off the road or hands off the wheel. When the computer booted, it loaded winamp with the full playlist and so the only user interaction was pressing the power button (mounted in my dash) and pressing 'j' to search and play.

I've never found this capability in e.g. VLC or anything else (maybe for the best ;). Am I missing it?

The entire article is about how they're addressing (or at least trying to address) this exact problem.
A vaccinated immune system is neither "bored" nor "sterile". People get vaccines before traveling to exceptionally insterile places, to give their immune systems more training so they are prepared to fight pathogens when they are exposed to them. Nothing boring about it.
I think this is the right answer. Like Corona it mutates too fast. So you need to vaccinate all living creatures that can transmit the virus all at the same time.

Another way to get rid of it is to go into a global 100% lockdown for two weeks at the same time. Again animals that can transmit it included.
Other than adding mandatory 2FA and introducing a 24-hour time delay on account renames and 2 hours on profile name/image changes (which should be a given for any blue-check account), what else can Twitter realistically do given that the other side (crypto pumpers) has literally tons of money floating around?
I don't think that's the direction they're going. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/twitter-paul-singer-republi...
Twitter is THE social media I am not able to use without letting it affect my mental health. Anytime I logged into Twitter, I came out more angry, bitter and outraged. It's like the whole platform is built around hot takes, dunking, bullying, and outrage. It always baffles me how mainstream media never utters a word how toxic Twitter is.

Small nitpick- I'd say one of the hallmarks of electronic music was that it wasn't built from copyrightable samples. It was trackers and analog-then-digital synths and all sorts of microtonal weirdness which had never been heard before.

It's a nitpick because I agree large swaths of the dance and hip-hop music we have today wouldn't exist if not for copyright violation, no denying that.

However, if we can put aside the legal angle, there's an understood difference between copyright violation for the purpose of sampling and remixing vs. outright "gonna steal your stuff because I don't want to pay for it."

Tiny anecdote fwiw, I once worked a summer gig for a wedding/bar-mitzvah DJ who had a legal license to rip and play mp3s. Iirc part of the deal was they had to be a certain quality, e.g. 320kbps straight from the source.

Or at least that's what he told me (this was AJ the DJ in Houston, Tx circa 2000 if anyone wants to do the fact-check legwork)
I was talking about using products, not investing in some coin. So the bag holder argument doesn’t apply here, these are people directly getting services.

But many coins have mechanisms to give dividends in the form of their coin, which have liquid trading markets. You can say they’re being propped up by the next buyer, but many of these are used by the product as “gas” for transactions, creating a real use based demand economy. I’ll readily admit that speculation has massively inflated these markets past their fundamental value, but that’s not unique to cryptocurrency.
We may not be able to achieve full herd immunity, but better herd resistance may be the only way to help those who can't benefit from the vaccine.

If the Delta and other contagious variants are spreading more in communities with lower vaccine adoption, then I think it would stand to reason that immunocompromised people would be safer in communities with higher vaccine adoption.
I've tried all of JetBrains' remote working solutions (there are confusingly many now, 3-4?) and they all seem unusable for my use case, where VSCode (or indeed ssh + vim) just works. And my use case is not particularly special, C++ with CMake and some wrapper scripts to pull in dependencies.

The only solution that works OK is Projector, but I can achieve the exact same thing but less buggy with VNC.
I have long felt that, given the problems of the Python 2→3 migration, the Python devs should have done the same. :-)
>10M Firefox users paying $50/year would yield same amount of revenue

The only way that works is if they abandoned the entire Firefox codebase and made another Chrome clone.

Even in their diminished state they still have 220 million monthly-active-users. With only 10 million, they'd have no leverage in the web standards groups, and no leverage with web developers. The Blink monoculture would be well and truly complete.

Plus I'd bet hard cash that even most HN readers wouldn't pay $50 a year for a web browser. Good luck finding 10 million.

Not an epidemiologist. But I also find myself saying this sometimes in context of covid. An actual infection is the only way to get any kind of long term immunity (the next best alternative being booster shots every year). If youre young, healthy, have access to high quality care and without any preconditions this could be a viable strategy for you. (Serious disclaimer - Please get vaccinated first before going down this road). Alas i find myself to be the minority in this argument.
