We’ve switched to practicality :)

I think my position is: let’s start knocking down monuments for people who are bigots. There’s a lot of them, so it’ll take a while, but we have plenty of viable ways to remember people in context besides monuments. Eventually either somebody smarter than me finds a way to build a monument that includes context, or we just eventually run out of them.

I work in a bank, we could get robbed by social engineering (and are ridiculously paranoid, we even have phishing exercises when the bank send you a link, you click on it and they say "dude that could have been phishing, read xyz to learn how to stop clicking on every link you re shown"), but these 200M remote hacks look a bit too frequent and a bit too easy with crypto - you dont even need corruption and insider trading it seems now.
I studied 8 years to get 9 years worth of degrees.

In retrospect, I should have fast tracked the bsc computer science to 2 years, get work experience and then do the msc computer science in 1 year (fast tracked). I should have never started the psychology degree and game studies degree.

Perhaps both in the US in order to get OPT (US work visa).

The vast majority of people have at least some positive emotional response to kind, attentive physical touch. It’s important to acknowledge that there are people who don’t and for them it’s detrimental (I am one of both depending on circumstances).

Even if there isn’t a clinical trial that specifically validates it, I think it’s a reasonable assumption that kind and attentive communication (to determine welcomeness of touch) and kind attentive touch can benefit most patients.
But we can and do. So this question is moot. It becomes important the further back in time you go, but it’s not like we don’t have Neanderthal DNA sequences.
> What was "very good" about the hardware?

The switched memory architecture. Which was a boon to running Oracle and transaction processing monitors (e.g. Tuxedo) – or, anything that required large amounts of memory and the high memory bandwitdth, but did not require the highest performant CPU.

Also, an extensive network of partners and resellers that made it easy to purchase a SPARC system, service and upgrade it was also a major factor. If one had the money, it was just too easy to buy a SPARC box.

> That it was RISC?

That is where Sun was consistenly lagging behind other RISC vendors until (roughly) the arrival of the UltraSPARC-II CPU. Before then, Alpha, POWER and PA-RISC CPU's consistently outperformed current SPARC / UltraSPARC-I designs. Another part of the problem was that the highly optimising Sun C/C++ compiler was very expensive, and GCC could not generate the code that would be as efficient for quite a while – not until after GCC folks rewrote the register allocator (GCC v2.95 circa?). The problem partially stemmed from the SPARC's windowed register file design. GCC has eventually caught up and has been generating fast (Ultra-)SPARC code since then.
COVID aid was designed to discourage (some kinds of) work because we literally didn't want people to (do that kind of) work; that being the point of closing the stores. It was more like disaster relief than anything else.

It also didn't create new money insofar as it was used to pay existing debts like rent; what it did was avoid a financial crisis.

Other kind of aid designs don't do this very much; demand is infinite and won't go away if you give people some money.

> How about an extension that disables video elements until you click on them ... Like how Internet Explorer treated Java applets towards the end on their days.

No.

Short MP4 files should replace GIFs. MP4 files are more efficient than the terrible compression GIF files have. I've made a few video game pages where auto-playing MP4s were essential at giving the right message... discussion of tactics and "movement" of dynamic video game stuff is pretty common. (Any game requires the player to gain instincts that "predict the future", and short GIFs and/or MP4 files really help show off key moments).

Hmm, interesting. Are you speaking from experience? Because I definitely am. I watched my mother die a very slow, very painful death from cancer several years ago. I can assure you she would be absolutely genuinely happy to get that cellophane hood and that nitrogen cannula. And, having seen what I've seen, I will also take the hood over some very real alternatives in a heartbeat. Playing dress up with this ridiculously futuristic glass coffin toy instead seems somewhat preposterous when you are facing death.
Has the added complexity had a corresponding increase in correctness?
I think the idea of wholly unrelated cannot be easily avoided, esp. with mega-corps of today that does everything. Imagine if you worked at microsoft - you would not be able to make a game in your off time, because microsoft owns a game studio too. You'd be hard-pressed to find something that is both software, but unrelated to microsoft.

The clause ought to be that your off-hours, personal work must not have a direct conflict of interest with your job.
I remember that Quake was not designed to run on a 486 at all. The vertex transformation code that did a perspective divide was optimized around the Pentium microarchitecture and wasn't as efficient on other microarchitectures, sometimes much less efficient. Quake is cited as one of the reasons why Cyrix disappeared.
Fair enough. Can you give a few examples of real world sites that would benefit from this (that already do not have a native app)?
I do think the distinction is important, but I'd hope for a more precise terminology than "real" vs "fake" effects. "psychosomatic" is okay but has some similar baggage. There should be a thorough technical vocabulary for "placebo" effects. Currently the biological mechanisms aren't even understood for many of the effects.
I swear Safari used to block autoplay-with-audio, and it recently stopped blocking it. I remember this because I specifically needed to set audio to disabled to get a video clip to autoplay on my blog (basically just a more efficient GIF).

Huh? They peg on Saturday? (OP's ref'd txn has a Sat date on it.

They wait to peg only for nice round numbers like $1B exactly? No cents? No decimal?

They don't peg end-of-day, or at market-close, month or quarter end?

Is there an official financial notification of peg events like a crypto-currency corporate event calendar? Nobody should be surprised because pegging is telescoped ahead right?

Is there an offset in another block chain showing USD movement? Surely they didn't just phone the bank (broker) and do a regular ACH transfer, right? They used non main stream tooling cause they're the cool kids?

And where's proof USD moved in offset?

C'mon ... there's nothing here to take seriously. Heck, based on this nonsense I can peg USD out of my garage with carrots. Wanna know what? Wholefoods produce then straight to the keyboard. See you guys on the flip side with CyrptoCarrots, the organic sustainable cyrpto coin.

Yes! In the end, ASIO is just a COM interface ("iasiodrv.h") + some structs, constants and typedefs in "asio.h". All the actual code in the .c files are just helpers. I definitely think it would be possible to take just the specifications and build an alternative SDK as long as you avoid the ASIO trademark. So far, nobody dared to do that, though. At least, I'm not aware of anything.

On the other hand, people did do that with the VST2 SDK a while ago. I'm pretty sure Steinberg knows about it but they probably don't want to risk a court case (which could set a clear precedent) and the bad publicity.

In your example f(A) is not a singleton. I think that the image f(A) being a singleton {c} is what was meant by “f(A) is some constant c”.

It feels to me like you are taking advantage of imprecise language to demonstrate counter-examples to statements that no one was trying to prove.

Do you actually think that 'poetically (or I) are trying to use obviously false properties of functions (specifically the properties you keep providing counter-examples to) or are just being nit-picky about language?

Usually I find much mathematical writing can be hard to read because much of the context or scope of variables, assumptions, or definitions is so implicit. But when something seems obviously wrong it is an exercise to figure out what constraint I’ve missed that makes it true.

When one first learns analysis, the statement of so many of the theorems begins “given a continuous function f” and this continues in formal writing but when people communicate more casually they usually just say function and everyone knows/figures that a continuous function is meant instead of pointing out an obvious counter-example.

In the context of this thread, it is obvious to me that the thing being talked about is when the image of a function restricted to some subset of the domain is a singleton. The reasons it is obvious to me are:

- The f(A) := {f(a) | a in A} notation is standard and implied by the choice of letters

- It is meaningless to say that the value of a function is constant—you always get the same result, so for the word to mean something, I think it is reasonable to take it as implying the restriction is a constant function, or in other words that f(A) = {c}, a singleton.

- It seemed obvious to me from the context of the article

- It seems a reasonable interpretation that changes the statements from nonsense into a reasonable description

At first I thought you just weren’t familiar with the notation, but now it seems you knew it so was it just not obvious to you that that is what was meant? Or do you actually think people were trying to prove or rely on the statements you disproved? Or that people should write more precisely and deserve to be punished with pedantry when they assume some mathematical maturity instead? I’m genuinely curious what you think is going on here because I’m struggling to fit these comments to a model of how hn commenters think and act.
that's nice, you and me will be in a cycle of immediately replacing each other's code. Seriously, lex+yacc / flex+bison absolutely suck, good luck when you have to put them as part of a complex cross-compilation build pipeline or run on windows. Also, have fun when you have multiple grammars in the same program and you don't want "colorful" ODR issues due to LTO, etc... they are entirely unfit for the job. In contrast Spirit just works for me after spending an hour reading the tutorial (my main problem was the sad issue common with expression templates and auto).

It also does not require to link anything, just -I/path/to/boost no matter the platform and tada, you get a fairly performant parser.
Stocks aren't scarce assets. They're infinitely dividable, so the price per share going up doesn't cause them to be harder to buy.

It would be a landslide by today's standards, but those kinds of margins were pretty common in the 80's and 90's. You had a lot more swing voters and people who would split their tickets so you had bigger margins while also having less certainly about the outcome prior to the actual vote. People forget that in the 80's and 90's a democrat could win West Virginia and Kentucky and a republican could win places like California and New York.
If I were tether themselves, I know I’d be personally market making every usdt trading pair on every major exchange myself. And when people bought my tethers for crypto I’d turn around and sell the crypto for usd and issue more usdt.
I think that for most people, they would not be directly exposed to key material. They would rely on an enclave in their smartphone, and/or separate tokens a la yubikey. The actual private key used for each company would probably also be different.

I never want auto playing videos. Ever. It is my personal preference and i should be able to express that in my browser, overriding your preference, as the author of the web page.
Even then, they're likely lying. Facebook collected phone numbers ostensibly for 2FA security purposes only, then immediately used them for ad purposes.

No, I assume that most of them flew across the Atlantic and went through US border control. We don’t have waves of Norwegians attempting to cross the US borders illegally on ships, like the EU has with African/Middle Eastern immigrants.

There are ample social services and NGO help in the EU that immigrants can take advantage of. Such programs don’t exist in most ME/African countries. Ironically, Norway and other Scandinavian countries do have these programs as well as stable economies.
Great so the extension should disable gif animations as well, good point.

From Wikipedia:

… and the definition of “water displacing spray” is “penetrating fluid”

It definitely is an oil, it definitely lubricates. But we normally name things by their primary purpose.
> Nobody has lost sight of genetic differences across populations. I don't know why you are bringing that up.

Listen, I'm not saying self-identified race and genetic or ancestral population are the same thing, but there are strong correlations. Perhaps you can clarify how the claim "there is no biological basis for race" makes sense in light of this fact?

> It is purely a social construct.

Something being a "social construct" does not mean it is purely arbitrary.
> If it was trivially possible, Firefox would already be doing it.

Sorry but Firefox is mostly on the dark side these days. That shouldn't be too surprising since most of its money comes from google.

It does have a setting to stop embedded video from playing sound unless you send an event, but it is too easy for obnoxious pages to evade and play sound against your wishes.
Kind of a tangent, but I found:

static bool ltc4306_is_volatile_reg(struct device *dev, unsigned int reg)
{
return (reg == LTC_REG_CONFIG) ? true : false;
}

Oh man, c'mon. That kind of thing bugs me. Just "return reg == LTC_REG_CONFIG" already, sheesh. (And maybe make it a preprocessor directive while you're at it?)
whatsapp is more secure
Its too much abused.

Just like gif was in 90s.

The client has two important values: attention/time and battery. Your preference screws both.

There's a couple of solutions to that (such as only looping once or for X seconds or not showing it).

Either way, you think too much from content creator PoV, IMO.

The web was made in such a way that clients are able to (massively) modify the content or the way it is shown. If you don't fancy that then you don't fancy one of the core foundations of the web. I use all kind of extensions to modify my web experience. If your PoV would become dominant, I simply would not use WWW anymore.

Default experience matters because most people don't use extensions, or not the same ones (power users do) so you get your way anyway. And I don't get my way on Firefox Mobile because they decided to axe a lot of extensions, and I don't get my way on work Citrix because admins decided which extensions are worthwhile (they block all video stuff, btw).
Except IF the money is being printed to be distributed to everybody, there’s going to be more money in the hands of people who can’t afford picassos and Malibu real estate, and less going to those who can, so I would expect in that scenario the increase in price of those assets would likely have a hard time keeping up with inflation.
> The military doesn’t decide where to invade, our government does.

I would agree with this statement when it comes to defensive campaigns. But in the case of offensive campaigns, the military very much gives the government an idea of what the plan looks like, including the budget, timeline, casualties, chances of success, etc. It's worth noting here that the military very much has a vested interest in saying yes to military action, because that's good for job security. But when it turns out that you cannot get in and out of a country in the forecasted amount of time, and when that country then goes back to its former political landscape despite all of our best efforts, that failure cannot land entirely at the government's feet.

> And the militaries goals are well, war-focused?

They are, apparently, in the US. I learned that when the CEO of Flexport suggested that we use the military to temporarily unblock the supply chain crisis by leveraging our military's logistics capabilities, which resulted in at least one person leaving a dismissive comment here on HN. I realize that this might have been an isolated view, but I doubt it. In other countries, it's very much expected that the military rolls up their sleeves whenever their capabilities can be generally beneficial to their communities, regardless if it's military-related or not. It's a resource we pay for, so why not share the excess capacity if it's not detrimental to our defensive readiness? I would argue that saving a few million jobs in the US is worth not being able to fulfill the two-war doctrine for a few months.

> It is impressive when a military can ship 100,000 soldiers and all the necessary equipment half way around the world in a month.

This once again sounds like an internal KPI that the US military can without doubt be very proud of. An external observer may ask how much such an effort would cost, and how well we compare on a per soldier basis with someone like China or Russia. Who can do it for less money? Perhaps the US is still ahead, but I genuinely don't know. Does money matter when it comes to readiness? Well, when it comes to defense, probably not. But if we're talking about invading a foreign country, I think the economics very much start to be a part of the overall equation.

A good example to bring up here would be the cost of the F-35 program. Is it an impressive aircraft? You bet. Are the capabilities of that aircraft in line with its cost? My gut tells me no, and I think a lot of people would agree. Do I have any hope that this was an isolated instance, and that the next-gen aircraft program will be done more cost-efficiently? Not really.

For the record, I am not anti-military at all. I just want to point at behaviors that seem a bit out of touch, and which if rectified would position us to have all the military capabilities we need at the least necessary cost.
Do you have the same preference for auto-playing GIFs? If so then yes, we agree—users should be able to customize their user agent to serve their needs. If you don't, then I'd be interested to hear why. I don't believe any browser should treat GIFs and muted videos differently, and that was the crux of the GP's claim.
Not sure why you are downvoted. Animated gifs are huge in comparison.

One thing to note, however, is that it must be without sound. Auto playing sound of any sort is complete garbage.
The ability to mate is just one among numerous phenotypical characteristics. Whether to elevate it to anything special of course depends on the fuzzy boundary of whether or how much it is actioned on.
> If you know someone who is using hallucinogenic drugs, they must stop using them

Recently I heard about this horrible drug, popular among the kids called ethanol. Neurotoxic and carcinogenic. It can cause all sorts of effects including disorientation, suppression of the central nervous system to the point where you stop breathing, even psychosis and can bring out aggressive behavior in some individuals. It’s pretty addictive, and even potential dangerous is stopped suddenly in an addicted individual.

If you know someone who is using ethanol, they must stop using it.
How many consumer care about that?
> You don't even agree it was mocking?

Correct.

Can you help me understand what verbiage you felt was mocking?
You know the old joke about the prison where all the prisoners all knew the same jokes, so instead of bothering to tell them at dinnertime, they would just call out a number? Seems like the interweb is like that, except it's XKCD comics instead of joke numbers. There is one for every occasion. With that in mind: 624.
Thank you very much for this comment.
> That is how Open Source is supposed to work

i dont know if you can claim this - OSS is not supposed to be unsanctioned derivative works of commercial software that is private. The company _could_ make it OSS, but an employee cannot, since they do not actually own the rights to make this decision.

Perhaps Bumble was a bit heavy handed, but from the point of view of the law, they are acting within their rights to demand ownership transfer, or removal etc.
> One thing to note, however, is that it must be without sound. Auto playing sound of any sort is complete garbage.

Agreed. I don't think I've ever felt the need to have autoplaying sound, and I struggle to think of any benefit from it.

I'm willing to keep my mind open, if anyone knows of a good website that effectively creates an experience using autoplay sound, please give me it.
