Twitter is a tool of the US national security state and will do its bidding when told/forced to. The famous publicly acknowledged/bragged about one is when the Obama administration tried to do regime change in Iran in 2009. Jared Cohen has go on the record multiple times bragging on how he got Twitter to follow orders:

The Obama administration, while insisting it is not meddling in Iran, yesterday confirmed it had asked Twitter to remain open to help anti-government protesters.

The company had planned a temporary shutdown to overhaul its service in the middle of the night on Monday but the US state department put in a request to postpone this.

Many protesters have being using Twitter to spread information about rallies and to share news.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, asked about this at a press conference yesterday, would neither confirm or deny it, saying only that a free press and a means of communication were important.

But the state department yesterday confirmed a request was made to Twitter.

The New York Times last night identified the author of the request as Jared Cohen, a 27-year-old state department official. Twitter complied with the request, delaying its overhaul until last night.

Washington Taps Into a Potent New Force in Diplomacy

Yet on Monday afternoon, a 27-year-old State Department official, Jared Cohen, e-mailed the social-networking site Twitter with an unusual request: delay scheduled maintenance of its global network, which would have cut off service while Iranians were using Twitter to swap information and inform the outside world about the mushrooming protests around Tehran.

The request, made to a Twitter co-founder, Jack Dorsey, is yet another new-media milestone: the recognition by the United States government that an Internet blogging service that did not exist four years ago has the potential to change history in an ancient Islamic country.

Yes, because as is demonstrated in real life, businesses will skimp on hiring sufficient, quality hourly staff and dump the workload on meagerly paid “managers”. One popular way is to use immigrants from one’s own country, and tie the ball and chain around them. They need the consistent employment to get established in the country, and have few options.

It will not encourage contractor relationships anymore than now, it will simply require businesses to pay the hourly workers more and give them steady schedules, benefits, etc.
It's good that you know it's a silly idea, not sure why you felt the need to share it. Essentially pleading guilty without a lawyer is one of the worse things you could possibly do. It's hard to even know what you are admitting to!

I find this comment quite odd - seeing that you're replying in a thread about a study that provides evidence that masks work. Not sure quite what to make of it, the most charitable interpretation is that you jumped in the comment section without reading the article.

I urge you to read the article and then review your comment to include some pertinent commentary on the study.
> I don't believe websites can dynamically alter their index to show up for so many typoed search queries.

One way to do it is to have some path through the site that lists relevant data, but also includes links at the bottom to typoed versions of the data. The web crawler will chase those links, and if each page that you retrieve generates more such typo links, you can feed the crawler an infinite stream of typos.

Google will consume quite a large chunk of an infinite stream before it trips any kind of "circuit breaker" to cut off how much crawling they'll do on one site. They have a lot of storage.
The Bay Area has been under a mask mandate for 17 months now. I’m not sure what the criteria of “working” is, but I would define it as returning to pre-pandemic norms. Yet, we are still far from that.

If however your definition of “working” is “prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed” or some other less ambitious criteria, then sure, it can be claimed that mask mandates work.
... view that someone can keep a guard dog on a property and not be looking for trouble is a very interesting one.

That's IMO essentially the same statement. Why shouldn't you have deterrence?
I commented elsewhere on 'unarmed' and how it relates to Huber's skateboard.

With regards to your point about Rosenbaum, I don't disagree. But the fact remains that the only weapon in that interaction was Rittenhouse's (unless you count a bag of underpants).
The big thing about the vaccine is that it vastly reduces the chance that infection converts to an illness. For that to happen, you need to be immune compromised in some way or get hit with an immune avoiding variant.

It only slightly shortens time for transmitting the virus. Hence silent infected people who are vaccinated might not even know they're carriers. Hence everyone should still be wearing masks to limit the spread.

> I wonder what will happen with the remaining items.

They will give away what they can to museums who will take what they can (museums are space limited). Most of it will probably go in a dumpster.

Frankly they will probably do a much worse job than whoever miller's heirs would. Private individuals tend tend fall back to give that sort of stuff away to other private collectors when they can't give it to museums. Government agencies don't expend nearly as much kind of effort on that kind of thing nor do they have a workflow for posting free shit ads on enthusiast forums, FB marketplace and CL. They do however, have people who's normal duties involves throwing things in the dumpster, so that's what will happen to it in all likelihood. The stuff that's in cases and ready to display will probably all fine homes but whatever stuff was low value enough that Miller wasn't already displaying it will probably mostly be thrown away.
There have been cases where independent journalists have had their footage censored by Twitter on specious grounds (riot footage as "promoting violence", etc), only for that same footage to be allowed on the accounts of larger media companies. This policy is only going to further entrench MSM institutional power.
DDG should change their name though. Seriously. Who wants to use such a ridiculous sounding search engine? AltaVista sounded good and had a meaning (seeing from above). Yahoo fine. Bing also ok. But duckduckgo seems like the most ridiculous name someone came up on a brainstorm meeting for search engine names. But then they did went with it.
Masks may "work" to a limited extent to reduce the risk of transmission in any single interaction, but in the long run that won't save anyone. The virus is now endemic and almost everyone will eventually be exposed regardless of public health measures. You can't seriously expect asymptomatic people to wear masks in public forever.

So what are the exit criteria?
Often you can think of how the code you want to stop probably works and then bypass it a different way.

Change the id/classes on the element that code applies to.

Make a copy of the elements, delete the original, and insert the copy. Then reimplement any JS that's actually needed yourself. Use fetch API if you need an original version of the HTML before JS.

Override getters/setters of properties on elements/nodes. The offending JS can make all the calls it wants but that doesn't matter if you control what the calls do. (Or similar redefinition/extension/hooking of base JS classes).

Web 2.0/widespread use of closures/minification/libraries like React made userscripting a lot more work. It was nice when you could easily hook/wrap anything :(

Just to contribute to the general discussion, I use Bookmarks Home add-on for firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmarkshome...). It turns your bookmarks into a homepage. You can customize which bookmarks folders appear and tweak the css. You can also save the page to html and turn off or remove the add-on if you like.

It does not include widget support though, so it doesn't address all of the issues mentioned in the original post.

It's also yet another thing to set up again when you reinstall your OS. I do that not infrequently as it's faster than periodically uninstalling everything from the past year, like libraries, apt packages for one time needs, ect. A full refresh gets rid of even the stickiest configs that sometimes even purge and autoremove can't get at.

I've started to find that what's even better than a fully tricked out installation that's heavily customized, is an minimal installation with basic usability features you can install in 20 minutes.

Please stop recommending yandex or any other service from Russia.

Russia spreads lies propaganda and misinformation by all channels possible including RT yandex and anything under their control. If you unaware what russia does you should educate yourself.

If you try to get any information from russia controlled channels not only you'll be heavily mislead and manipulated you'll also support that aggressive regime that actively attacks any light of democracy and freedom in the world. Russia already have used not only propaganda but also military to attack any attempts to build free society respecting democracy especially in neighboring countries.

For instance in Ukraine yandex is simply completely blocked as result of a war that Russia started against Ukraine and it is done for a reason. Do not be less wise then Ukraine and just do not go there.

It is very interesting if you have properly verified invariants and you can guarantee (with manual checking) that your code is correct. It's an order of magnitude harder than just letting the borrow checker do its job, but it's entirely possible (just like in any other language).
Ask HN: Leaving Developer Position Behind
Overall, my career looks pretty regular. Degree in CS, some internships as software developer, worked as data scientist for almost 3 years and lastly joined big company™ as service manager for a software development team (out of curiosity).

I find management quit appealing. I get along with the team & other managers pretty well, I find my routine enjoyable, etc.. But I got one concern: I always saw my developer skills as some kind of job insurance. To me it seems obvious that I will always be able to find a job, as long as I keep my dev skills up to date.
Does this hold true if I stick to the management path or is my assumption just wrong? I am also involved in recruiting and I can see many managers in their 50s applying for roles such as Scrum Master or Product Owner. However, their applications are all turned down because they are way too expensive for such position.

In short: will I get a job in management in my 50s?
Good luck advocating for that on release code.

I wear masks when my country mandates that I should. But I think the issue is this...

Covid is here to stay, many countries have very high vaccination rates at this point, so effectively if we continue to wear masks even in very high vaccination countries we're essentially saying we have to wear them forever, because what's going to change? Unless some new vaccine comes out that actually prevents transmission covid is a permanent thing.

And to put it simply, while I understood the need to wear one when we had no vaccines because anything that helped was a good idea, I'm not sure I'm prepared to wear one indefinitely.

I aim for "small images" because downloading a full install of Ubuntu is rediculous on anything but gigabit fibre.

But I don't aim for minimal images. Using alpine and installing what ever you like without worrying about all the bullshit to make caches stay empty still results in images only a few megs, don't need to do much better than that.

Though I tend to agree, if you're talking about a compiled language. Static binary and there is little need for anything other than `from scratch`.

Microwave ovens make for poor Faraday cages. The problem is that you only need 30-60dB to "keep the power in" while you probably want at least 100dB to "keep the signals out."

You can test this: put your phone in the microwave and try to call it. Over the years I have had about a 75% success rate.

Other household appliances tend to be even worse; any gaps in metallic seals effectively turn into slot antennas and let signals through. You need a conductive mesh gasket to stop this, and I generally don't see mesh gaskets on consumer appliances.

Your "make an al-foil ball" strategy is what I would resort to in a pinch (I have some nice Anritsu shield boxes, but those are cheating). Quantity is a quality of its own. My only addition would be making sure that the gaps tend to not line up. You want to make it difficult for the "slot antennas" modeling the gaps in each layer to couple to each other.

why not? I enjoy foiling facial recognition efforts, and those efforts are everywhere. I probably won't ever stop wearing a mask in public.
Death isn't the only negative outcome of a COVID-19 infection.

That's also why using excess deaths is a better metric than direct deaths, since if COVID overwhelms hospitals and e.g. heart attack or cancer deaths skyrocket that is a related death.

But if you've created a bunch of new disabled people, that isn't exactly a fantastic outcome either and one more poorly tracked (e.g. I personally know someone who couldn't work for a few months following hospitalization and recovery).
Neutron Rocket – Major Development Update
I agree with you for the most part, so I am not exactly sure what are we arguing? :)

FWIW, I did not make an argument that economic prosperity or equalisation will bring them to streets at all, but that:

1. Their current "flourishing economy" is not a reason to consider China as "one of the greatest threats of our freedom ever", and

2. How "flourishing" Chinese economy is will change relatively quickly (say in the next 10-30 years) as their median salaries approach those of who they export most to (if that's Japan, Korea or Taiwan, then their salaries instead of US ones).

I would even say that this situation with WTA shows that 1 is exactly not the case: people in charge of large organisations (like Simon) have learned from how eg. NBA handled the case and the flak in the media they received, so now they are being more protective of democratic values (or maybe their image, but regardless) instead of their business interests.

FTR, this was part of the comment I was replying to where economy is highlighted as a big contributor to them being a great threat to "our freedom":

> We're looking at one of the greatest threats to our freedom ever; this time they have nukes, reliable delivery mechanisms and a flourishing economy (which the Soviets lacked).

The system design is fundamentally pernicious Infrastructure needs to be monetized but not in a fashion that undermines a fundamental socially beneficial function like connecting musicians with people who love music
I wish music streaming services were as pervasive as FB/Instagram algorithms, for example, here's the album that the artist liked that you follow. Spotify is trying to fill this with ID playlists but that should be an ongoing stream rather than a carefully picked set of songs. On the other side I wouldn't expect artists to be genuinely happy that their actions are mirrored to basically the whole Internet

> The output is the machine code.

You get different machine code using different compilers on identical pieces of source code. In theory the results of running that source code should have equivalent results even if one is more efficient than another. If for example one compiler uses a ASM instruction that another never uses then nothing the programmer does can get the second compiler to be as efficient as the first. The same is true of various optimizations etc, sometimes a compiler is just better.

Bring a different language into the picture and things get even more divergent.

> how it’s related

It’s specifically in reference to rust use of LLVM not being sufficient to guarantee equivalence. Many languages target the JVM, that does not make them equivalent.
Using police are a bad example, because they aren't held to the same standard as non-police. Whether that should be or not is debatable, but it's not debatable that there are clearly different standards. Police are routinely determined justified in killing people based on the possibility of a weapon, those Rittenhouse shot not only had weapons, but showed intent to use them.
I hate that saying, usually because both the game and the players are utterly trash. Which is the case here, by the way.

If you consider the compactification of R^3 by a single point “at infinity”, an electric charge inside the surface is the same as the opposite charge at infinity (this is just Gauss’ result). In that sense, “infinity” acts as the opposite charge, does it not?

I do not understand your question, otherwise.
