As far as I understood the backend issue was on Braves end, while the Chrome Web Store was fine.

So installing the extension worked in Chrome, but not in Brave, because they had some backend problems, while the installing of an extension should not need the Brave servers at all.

Do ad blockers now block first party images, or something? I'm fine with a site just hosting static images by itself. Typically I think the bad behavior comes from the third party ad networks. So, the way to get acceptable ads is for everyone to run an ad blocker. If we block the abusive entrants from the market, it might give the good ones room to grow.
You know, sometimes I wonder if some of the Romans, looking around at their society crumbling in the early ADs, asked themselves "you know, I remember we used to have these things called laws?"

Seems we're tripping over ourselves these days to find every way to defeat the original purpose of the laws that we set up to make society civilized and fair.

And I'm not just talking about weed.
Crime is absolutely not non-existent. Plenty of crime gets reported in the media and the Singapore Police deal with plenty more that never gets reported in the press.
Just built an AI writer for social media posts – useful?
Hey everyone,

I struggle and find it hard and time-consuming to write content for my social media accounts and so I started building this. I know that AI models can help, but it's taken me some time and research into them before creating something myself so other people might find this useful as well!

The tool takes care of all those pesky tasks like suggesting topics or writing original content - saving you hours every day in tedious work.

All you have to do is fill in some details about the content you want it to write about and voila, instant results.

Here is the demo: https://socialbu.com/tools/generate-posts

Here is an example: https://i.imgur.com/ZYjfnAA.png

The reason for sharing this is I want to know if this is really useful to others or if I am just alone.

Ask HN: What is the best book on data visualization in 2021?
I am looking for a comprehensive resource on data visualization. There are many individual resources that have been posted over the years (such as in blog posts). However, as a non-expert I am not sure which advice is good to follow (e.g., many blogs are published by companies trying to sell me a particular product or package).

Not sure if the book is the ideal format for this, but it seems to have the highest chance of being competent, unbiased and comprehensive. For the latter point, I think important topics are

- Colors and accessibility

- Concrete examples of color schemes

- Pros and Cons of different visualizations vis-à-vis data

- Print versus digital

- Fonts and layout considerations

- Perhaps short insights into the research on these points

But perhaps there are other things not on my radar that are current or interesting?
On the contrary, it's most normal to consider the time domain function [1] as a complex valued function, even if it happens to take only real values. And the reason for that is exactly for symmetry with its transform! The transform is certainly complex valued, thanks to the e^ix\xi factor (unless you take the sine and cosine transforms separately, but of course those are just the real and imaginary components).

For example, you can see the first definition on Wikipedia [2] starts with a function f:R->C.

Edit: Oh, by "symmetric" you meant the Fourier transform being symmetric about 0. I thought you meant the natural symmetry of the forms of f and \hat{f}. Still, it seems natural to me to treat the two functions similarly, including use of complex values. But I'm a (very) pure mathematician, at least in this area.

[1] Or whatever function you want to take the transform of, it doesn't have to be the time domain and is in fact often spatial. This is probably why OP used the phrase "signal domain".

Ah, whale oil beef hooked, you're right.

> The == (equal to) and != (not equal to) operators are analogous to the relational operators except for their lower precedence. Each of the operators yields 1 if the specified relation is true and 0 if it is false. The result has type int. For any pair of operands, exactly one of the relations is true.

Thanks for clearing that up. (Although I feel a bit foolish now.)
Stranger on stranger is a normal way to segment crime. It controls out things that aren’t putting you at risk.
You can host extension on your own server. Fireox will display a security warning when you try to install them, but that is it.
At the current state, I don't think there is such thing as "acceptable ads".
Indeed, and I was also wrong about that, to be clear. I did some research based on your comment, it's really cool too see. I'm a huge fan of old CPU architecture.
I think you may want to go try to validate that claim with data! You may find that you were engaged in wishful thinking. ;)
It wouldn't work anyway cause I'd just have a large debt with them they'd eventually lock my account over.
I think you misunderstood GP - he is saying they didn’t spoof trades, ie order executions, which is correct because you can’t spoof trades.

You are talking about spoofed orders.

A spoofed trade doesn’t really exist - the closest thing would be a wash trade, where you trade with yourself to make other people think a price is trading.
I want to use Firefox as my daily driver, but the inability to remap the keyboard shortcuts for tabs prevent me using it. On Linux Firefox maps Alt+# to tabs.

I have two problems with that. Firstly on Windows Firefox uses the Control key, so now I have to remember a different shortcut for my work PC vs my gaming PC. Secondly I run i3wm and alt is my mod key.
The thing with reduced precision is that things may look fine at first, but then you eventually notice unphysical features in your solution (like additional wave modes after very long simulation times, or energy conservation issues). So we really don't know as a community yet how far we can venture from float64, but it looks like float32 may be viable.

Veros works OK on TPUs (about the same speed as a high-end GPU), but since you can't buy TPUs that's an immediate no for most academic users of climate models. Renting hardware doesn't really make sense when you keep it busy for months at a time and the HPC infrastructure is already in place.
It seems crazy that you are paying that much for hosting something that can be self-hosted on an old laptop.

The problem is not "ads". The problem is in the "ad-funded" business models. The ad-funded economy is one of the main contributors to the destruction of the fabric of our communities.

Ad-funded business models make it impossible for the people to "vote with their wallets", so all of the good things about any kind of market dynamics are removed, and we are left only with its disadvantages.

- It treats everyone as "eyeballs", removing any need for a content producer to care about quality. As long as it generates clicks it goes. It has turned even the most reputable of media channels into tabloids.

- By having no regard for quality, it's a tragedy of the commons.

- By removing any chance of nuance, it makes all of the audience to be bucketed into "pass/filter" algorithms, and the only concern is to make sure that the content is so bland and innocuous that no one within their bubble reach can complain about it.

- It has taken mass-consumerism and general public conformity to 11.

- Big Tech turn all of that crap into profit no matter what.

- It is feeding and coddling the coming and current generation of techies into lame drones with no imagination and will to affect actual change. It's creating an army of people who think that the status quo is good.

I don't think it is too much of a stretch to think of how the "ad supported" content economy is correlated with the increased polarization of people, the growing tribal divide and the isolation of individuals. I honestly think that we should be treating the majority of "ad supported" websites as heavy polluters of our minds and our societies.
Must admit this was my question as well. It seemed from the post that the browser was still working but the extensions couldn't be installed. Not ideal but seems like a weird response.

Is the point that there should be a separate source of extension packages or something?
The problem is that you’re going to piss off an awful lot of people, the vast majority of people. That is impractical if you want your broader political project to succeed. Churchill is a great example of this. Tearing down statues of Churchill will set the majority of the UK population against you, even if they broadly agree with your other political goals. It’s incredibly polarising and does nothing to help the people who are actually hurt by bigotry today. That’s the problem with political purity; sometimes you have to hold your nose and accept things you don’t like; otherwise you’ll achieve nothing.

In effect, the parent comment is attempting to argue their position through proof by lack of counterexample. Now, whether this is a valid proof construction technique, and hence, whether their stated position is of any meaningful merit besides an exquisite example of doublethink, is left to the interpretation of the reader as an exercise.

I see your point, and thank you for the clarification. I've often heard this referred to as "spoof trading" and "spoof orders" interchangeably. I could be mistaken, of course. For instance [1].

Why do CFTC try to police this? For the money or optics?

Orders far from the BBO are clearly irrelevant and those close to the BBO are not "free" for the spoofer given they have to bear the risk that the orders could be filled if the market moves.

Effectively it means anyone cancelling an order has to worry that their action could be interpreted as "spoofing" - which will make market making more risky and expensive.

The only ones this type of enforcement "protects" are are those who naively think they've discovered a strong trading signal based on order volumes away from the BBO. Putting a $1 bid on a Rolex on ebay which is currently attracting $10k bids isn't going to fool anyone into thinking that demand is increasing and is relatively harmless.

For me real manipulation involves actual trades, not cancelled/unexecuted orders, and should be policed stringently. E.g. banging the market at close in order to nudge the closing price in order to boost the value of a position in a different book.

They could have been, but there's too much abuse going on in the advertising space. In regards of online advertising: it's distracting, manipulative, infringes privacy and wastes bandwidth.

Not just out of the box. There is a good comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7488498 that listed a few key features of InnoDB:

1. Change Buffering - If your benchmark result shows that MySQL is faster than PostgreSQL, it is likely due to change buffering. For random read/write workload that doesn't fit into the memory, this feature is fantastic. This is available since the very first commit of InnoDB, and of course also has been causing random corruption during crash recovery throughout the years: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-24449 (fixed in MariaDB, still exists in MySQL)

2. Page-level Compression - PostgreSQL still doesn't support this, but I am fine with relying on ZFS filesystem compression when running either MySQL or PostgreSQL. Arguably it should be better for the database engine to do its own compression, but see this blocker level bug that impacted FreeBSD: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-26537 (MariaDB only, but feel free to search bugs.mysql.com for other compression related bugs)

3. Clustered Index - The main topic in the Uber drama. I think InnoDB has the better design, since scaling write is harder for a RDBMS. I also think that InnoDB implementation causes a severe performance cliff, when it comes to optimistic update versus pessimistic update.
Hah, article lists exactly two options I would suggest - Chromium and Vivaldi, I just switched last week from Edge to Vivaldi. Tried for a moment Brave, but immediately ditched it since you can't even customize address bar or toolbar.

Switched to Edge maybe last year after years with Firefox, but I was fed up with its hostile developers, who care more about their nerdy features than actually what users want, which is why Firefox declined into irrelevance.

edit: also get Kiwi Browser if you are using Android, the best Android browser, one of very few Chromium browsers with proper extensions support

Went with it to LG, but didn't get a single response. I guess 8 hundred votes is something they don't care about. We would need at least 100 times more to have some significance.

Now I really keen to legislation approach. We already have a movement like "right to repair", now we need a movement "right to own your device".
> The vaccines have been available for months, and other European countries – including the UK – have been able to persuade the vast majority of their populations to be inoculated, massively reducing pressure on hospitals and slashing death rates. In Austria, however, a sizeable minority has remained stubbornly opposed and the result is that the country has been left vulnerable as case numbers rise once again.

That's an odd framing of things, which is suspiciously light on actual numbers. To provide some context, the rate of "Fully Vaccinated Population (%)" (according to one tracker[0]) is 69.6% for the UK and 68.3% for Austria. Does the author really believe that this 1% of "stubborn" Austrians is responsible for the health situation there?

The only construction project Google ever did in my city was use ancient (loud as hell) equipment to rip these big grooves down mile after mile of perfectly good neighborhood streets in all of our poor communities to cheaply install their “fiber internet” experiment that they abandoned 1 year later. And our streets are still covered with the rubber crap they filled the grooves with. More of it comes up every time it rains. It gets all over our pets and everything. I hate Google so much.
A certificate expiration to disable tor browser is some serious tinfoil hat stuff. Certificate duration is usually extremely long, so they would have to have been in some long-con with an intelligence agency or something.

I haven't noticed their start page because I always disable it, but if they have some sort of news feeds on it then anyone nowadays would call it something or other.

A company that claims to support privacy launching a VPN service to support their development? Yeah so shady, they should have started a marketing company instead like Chrome! /s
Incredible insight, thank you for sharing.
If that's how you categorize software, then no software has ever been "done". There are always new cases, bugs, features, and performance improvements. You will never run out of any one of those things.

In this case, semi-done probably means what it usually means: some common cases are handled, while others aren't yet.

pfsense does that by default. If the VPN connection is deemed to be down (it does some pinging to evaluate it) it silently defaults to unencrypted.

There is a convoluted way to configure it so that it blocks VPN IP packets from going directly to the WAN, but I noticed it seems to terminate connections when some packet is lost.
At least in musical chairs some others get to keep their chairs. When a currency fails, you can't sell it because nobody else will touch it. Everyone loses… save the first out.
For the uninitiated, "spoofing" does NOT mean what you think it might, e.g. spoofing network packets or making fake trade records.

"Spoofing" simply means placing orders on the exchange orderbook which one supposedly does not intend to execute.

I've never understood this, because any bid/ask order on the orderbook CAN be executed against, until it is canceled. If they were "flashing" large bids/asks that were being immediately canceled to trick other algos into lifting, that is annoying but it's the algos that fall for the spoof that are stupid. The algos should just hit the large spoof bid and the spoofer will be left holding the bag.

Here in the UK, on public roads, they are legally required to sign post that ANPR[1] is in use in that area, and the cameras have to be easily seen, AND a bright yellow colour.

The shady side of it, is on private property, like car parks, where those rules don't apply.

This is a fantastic comment. Yes, in many tech companies it seems like career growth is dead unless you know someone.
If you have extracted the cash in dollars somehow before the crash, then it would work, but you have to move your money out of the exchange as fast as you can.
Planning, as a field, virtually always worsens carbon. Cities all “want” to become more dense (people bid higher to live in the center), and planning pushes growth outward and limits growth upward.

Despite the carbon intensity of building new structures, the fastest way to slow planning-based carbon emissions is to throw out as much land use regulation as possible.
It doesn't, depending on your definition. You get them to sign it (given the speed - 5-10 minutes for a medium sized extension - it seems automated) and then when they click to download the signed xpi file it prompts them to install, saying "[domain] would like to install [extension name]." This is the same prompt you get in the official Mozilla addons site.
Public tests are good but relying on public tests only encourages kludges to make tools pass the tests. A form of overfiting. That's why some compression tests do not publish their test corpora.
The current Googlers complain when the morning shake is not warm enough to their liking. Not to mention too many Googlers (and other tech companies employees, esp in the US) forget that they are getting paid to build products and no one cares about their political ideology.
Right. The issue is twofold - in the internet era, the marginal utility of any additional news source is near zero.

Sure, you might cross-check an article once in a blue moon, but most people consume news through a link that was sent to them by someone inside their bubble. And once they read the headline, there's 0 reason to click to another link with the same story ever again. So the links might as well be hosted in one place, say NY times or CNN. It doesn't really matter where.

The second part of the issue is that the barrier to entry into modern "journalism" evaporated with the advent of social media. You no longer need to own a printing press, or self-host a blogging platform even.

Have a twitter account? You're a journalist! Have a twitter bot that follows a bunch of local news sources? You're a newspaper! No longer do you need to own a printing press or an editorial staff. Want an "Opinion Section"? Tweet something that sparks outrage and watch angry replies pour in!

The only remaining barrier to entry is high-end investigative journalism-whistleblowing. And that's always been a tiny niche and hard to monetize.
Somehow all these browsers doesn't appeal as much as Mozilla/FF, since beginning. Never made a switch. If i were forced to use GOOG/MSFT stuff, just use it once and uninstall has been the pattern. Never looked back.
They are quite efficient in terms of emissions per kg, too. Boats are a very energy-efficient way to transport heavy things.

Frankly after reading the other comments in this chain, as well as experience in other businesses and industries. You're likely correct. I'm giving too many companies far too much credit.
I agree about colorblind modes in games. One where I thought it worked really well was Star Wars Battlefront (2015). Instead of adding weird colour filters to everything it used alternate colours (blue and yellow instead of red and green for deuteranopia) in the HUD.
> But it doesn't really explain why I did go looking for that somewhere else in the first place.

I don't have understand why people think they need to provide a reason.

They are just part of economy and should constantly look for better opportunities for themselves because that's what drives the economy towards more efficient state where resources are better utilized. Not to mention they themselves have just one life and have full moral right to live it the best way they can. They don't owe anyone anything they didn't promise and employment is not a promise of dedicating your whole life to a project or an employer.
