> There aren't any fundamental rights which require someone else to provide them to you.

This is, of course, totally false. From the moment of birth your parents have to provide sustenance and safety, or you'll die. Similarly, someone must teach you a native language, if only indirectly, or you'll be unable to communicate or acquire skills. If a parent neglects a child and fails to provide them "services" (or whatever), the state will absolutely take the child away and punish the parents.

As an adult, you have the right to a system of justice that allows you to argue grievances and petition for redress against others. You have the right to police and fire fighters. Those are all services provided to you.

I used to think that everything was a transaction when I was a hardcore libertarian, but I'm not anymore. There are bazillions of things that we take for granted that are just table stakes in a modern society, like the rule of law, an educational system, clean air and water, and yes, healthcare. A hospital can't refuse you emergency care if you can't pay, and that's absolutely a right established in the social contract.

Rights are a mix of inherent and acquired capabilities as well as courtesies granted by a social contract. Until you start paying back every person from whom you've learned a word in the English language, yeah, you are getting tons and tons of things for free without realizing it.
Fully agree. My wife and I went out on a date about a month ago, and during it, she took a selfie of the two of us. There must have been some filter on by default because our faces looked perfectly lit, our skin completely blemish-free, no smile lines, etc. It was a great picture, but I remarked immediately that it didn't look real. And I don't want that -- it's not us but an idealized, optimized version of us.

I similarly have mixed feelings about what I've seen lately of the deep learning that 'restores' very old images to incredible quality. But that quality is fake. I'm sure there's a tug at the heartstrings to see a crisp image of your deceased father from his high school days, but to me that seems a bit revisionist. I don't know. I guess I'm just uneasy with the idea of us editing our lives so readily.
I haven't had a single problem with my Tesla (2021 Model 3) so this seems odd and was surprising to me. I know that is a sample size of one but I would expect some issue.
>... we set up a system to react every time someone typed Command+C ...

So only people using Mac's then.
I would argue that conceptually it's not too different from needing to know what tables/columns exist in datamodel.

I get that it is not common now to care about FKs when writing selects. But it could be. Tooling can be improved to help here. (show fks, autocomplete)

Btw. Everybody seems to concentrate on conciseness, but keep in mind that this helps also with query correctness.
Ask HN: What are considered the goto papers for methane emissions for cows?
Is there any research that considers how much CO2 is actually captured by the cows (i.e. the grass traps the CO2 the cow eats the grass)? Also any research on whether or not cows prevent fires by eating grass? If they do isn't there some kind of opportunity cost to be realized?
Ask HN: Is there a pastebin/imgur for video?
Since YouTube geoblocks and requires account creation, it's not always a frictionless way to share video. Does anyone know of a pastebin/imgur equivalent for video?

In recent years it's become trivial to clip part or all of the screen as a video (on macOS, for example: Shift + Command + 5).

It would be extremely useful to know of a pastebin/imgur for video, if it exists?
okay after a reading it a few times I can see how it could be considered tongue in cheek I'll give it that
From the Hacker Manifesto:

"We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals."

"My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like."

I wouldn't argue that "hacker culture" is necessarily a monoculture or immune to racism, but I feel that this disembodied ethic is core to the origins of the culture.
Not all recalls have the same level of newsworthiness.

Both the Volkswagen and Hyundai recalls were related to internal corruption and potential criminal activity making them more noteworthy. That is a failure in the regulatory system while Tesla's recall is the system working as intended.

The Fiat recall was related to hacking so it will naturally get more interest on HN.

I don't have data on this, but voluntary recalls seem to be much more common for cars than other retail products.
Important Security Update for JetBrains Gateway
It wasn't really bizarre in the grand scheme of things, but it was a bit of a reach in the context it was questioned in.
For a camera it would just be referred to as post processing. You can even see some of this going on when you open the photo immediately after taking it and see it snap in to high quality later. Or the difference between the live viewfinder and the final image.
Meaningless analysis. If you're the kind of org where running a 6 node cluster needs 4 people performing continuous ops, you're not going to succeed. Good luck.
That's fair. Even when I shopped for a car over a decade ago, it felt like some of the electronic safety systems were making up for lack of the sort of sightlines you had historically. One of the reasons I ended up going with a pretty old-school SUV design even though I didn't have much of an interest in most of the off-road features. Would probably buy the same vehicle today even though it hasn't been updated a lot.
I don't own a Tesla, nor do I know anyone who owns one. But the amount of noise I see on social media and the news makes it obvious that they have higher visibility across the board, and hence more scrutiny. I don't see anything wrong with that.
> But even excluding all of that, your implication that vaccination makes one less safe is just not born out by the data you linked to.

That was not my implication. I am not talking about "vaccination" -- I am talking about booster mandates, for which we have no affirmative clinical data, and known harms.

We have no evidence that boosters do anything at all to mitigate serious illness in young, healthy people. And for this, we are exposing them to known, non-zero risks.
What are you proposing otherwise? This: https://news.yahoo.com/remote-learning-led-to-catastrophic-l... Catastrophic learning loss. Any parents who can't afford nannies and won't die without working have had one leave the workforce. The ones who would die have just abandoned their kids.

What I would propose is movement away from nuclear family to more communal living and extended family, but I just see oblivious people push remote learning like it actually solves the problem for most.
That's not inherent to the word "obligation" any more than saying "I must do this, it is your right". It's fine as a concept, but saying "instead of talking about rights, we should talk about obligations" doesn't clarify anything, because my right is simultaneously your obligation.
Taycan and Tesla don't even fit to same sentence. Tesla is literally Lada in terms of build qualify comparing to any major car manufacturer.
Doesn't that cut both ways?

Pleading: But sir, you must respect my laws.

Reply: I do not see the necessity of that.
I'm not sure and I don't know, it could be $30 or $40/hr. I took $14 and $4 from an article discussing the Moto X in 2013.
On Android you can enable a "raw" mode that will capture a dng file with much less processing. You can then adjust that raw file and render it to a jpeg according to your taste.

The dng will still have things like stabilization and multi-frame merging, but without those the image will almost always look horrible as others have explained.
All photos regardless of the source are a corruption of reality both semantically and technically speaking. I think they should always be used on a case by case basis with corroborating evidence.
Roblox CEO Outed for Using Completely Legal, Completely Ridiculous Tax Dodge
It's common in pretty much anything targeted towards the masses.

It's probably best to think about it in terms of food. Your average person has an "unrefined" palate. Be it for food, drink, art, etc.

I think everyone has one of these in some areas of life. You can't be a connoisseur in every field - it takes too much energy.
>Any other manufacturer and this would be a non-story especially on HN.

Perhaps it's noteworthy due to Tesla's documented past behavior of playing fast and loose with safety, and quality assurance, coupled with Musk's arrogance in the media.
> we shouldn't moderate anything at all

Moderation is absolutely necessary. What bothers me is that we are 4 or 5 comments deep, and you still seem to not understand why I spoke up in the first place.

The comment you initially replied to did not come off as a personal attack at all to me, in fact, there was nothing personal about it. They took data that was shared with them and used their experience to spit out their own thoughts on the matter.

So, I am calling you out for being a bit too zealous with the power you wield. What you do with my perspective being shared with you is up to you, but you're doing a lot to not just ask yourself "Was I being too harsh?" ... Here you have a human telling you that yes, that was too harsh.

Calling out the bitter flavor of a corporation's kool-aid is not a personal attack on anyone. Period.
Fact is, you have no idea what kind of unsolicited postprocessing the camera in the Rittenhouse trial might or might not have performed, and neither did the court.

It's a huge potential problem, and getting worse by the day.
I’ve never owned Bose nor Beats specifically but more generally I find bassiness is a desirable feature rather than a gimmick for dumb consumers.

With room sized speakers it’s not a problem because you’ll have multiple cones dedicated to the low end and usually some subs too. Thus it’s easy to have a rich low end without sacrificing the fidelity of the higher end. But with headphones that’s much harder to pull off. So you either have a flatter sound or a muffled high end. Thus having headphones that can have a super crisp top end while still still producing a rich and deep low end is very much desirable.
Mr Smarty Pants has the solution for all cameras to be 100% accurate 100% of the time pleasing 100% of the users. How humble of you to chat with us here on HN. /s

You sound like you have not dealt with humans at the scale of the number of smart phone users. I've never dealt with the numbers of something like an iPhone, but over the course of my career have had multiple SKUs totaling over 1 million units. No matter what, there are always "people on the internet" that are dissatisfied enough to go online to voice their opinions. That's the only 100% is that there will always be someone unhappy for whatever reason(s).
I’m curious now because I don’t recall the episode - what was the episode title?
No idea for the US. In the maritime industry the US likes to be the odd one out. The US coast guard likely have something all on their own.

Looking globally at larger vessels, which would be like the ones in the article here, you have IMO GISIS Incidents[0]. Quite the awful application to use and scrape. Trying to get ship particulars I got limited after 100-200 vessels.

For Europe you have EMCIP [1]. More info, a bit better interface. Horrible format to do anything with.

Otherwise you have commercial data providers which tend to both contain incidents, vessels and pretty much everything about the maritime industry. Examples are Clarksons Fleet Register [2] and IHS Markit [3].

I may or may not have written a thesis a while back touching this kind of data.

Hydro power is more consistent than for example solar which can change instantly even though both are weather dependent.
The leaf that takes the place of the face is still attached to its branch. It's not falling down, it's hanging from the tree. And the person's head is missing in the areas you'd expect to still see it if it was a falling leaf.
I'm really struggling to understand why this exist. Yes, clearly this is 100% a marketing effort to make Citroen look "cool" or even still-relevant, but anyone watching this should yell "He has no clothes on" as this "concept" has no feasible path to reality and isn't even an obviously good solution to the problems they are trying to solve.

Contemporary automobiles are clearly not perfect, but they have evolved over a century to put considerable thought to safety and efficiency. This "concept" throws everything out the window in exchange for ... cars that go sideways.

I'd like to contrast this to Volvo's effort a decade or so ago where they asked the question "Car design is all male focused, but what are the _actual_ issues women care about?" and came out with really useful if mundane ideas (easier/hands-free access, greener material, etc). There are things that can actually be realized and would be helpful.
If I see my bestie in a Tessie, I will be happy for them, but much like you I'm OK with a more conservative choice until something like the Tesla EV's becomes the conservative choice.
Taste.

It takes time and experience to develop, and the masses on average don't have it. As in, they might have developed taste for a few products, but not most products. Hence, the mass-market products are aimed at people with no taste, because that captures the largest slice of the consumers.

Random examples:

- In A/B tests, the typical personal will rate louder music as better. Hence, all bars and pubs turn their music up to 11, to the point that it's horrendously distorted, causes physical pain, and forces everyone to scream at the top of their lungs to be heard.

- Sugary, salty and fatty foods are consistently rated by typical people as more tasty than foods without them. Hence, all fast-food restaurants load their foods up with those elements instead of more expensive flavourings such as herbs and spices.

- Just look at the typical gaming PC market. RGB LEDs are now almost "essential", despite adding nothing material to the performance or capability of the system other than a garish blinken-light-show. You can't see the gigahertz, but you sure can see the LEDs!

- Cars are perceived to be more sporty if they have a loud exhaust with a deep note to it. So of course, every "sports" car has literal fake exhaust that's "tuned" to make this particular noise.

Etc, etc...

It's all down to bad taste.
> that the server side hash is still at least independently expensive enough

That is useless if a hash of the passphrase is sent by the client. The input space is evenly distributed over all hash values, so a dictionary attack is no better than sending all possible hashes directly (brute force).

A single round of server side hash suffices here.

FileCream 0.10.0: File Sharing Built into the Filesystem
I've been thinking a lot about this recently. The mobile phones photography went in a direction which makes the mobile photography quite questionable. ML algorithms can't be tested completely, there are going to be many corner cases where results like the above will be produced. The algorithms are trying to compensate for the limitations of the small sensors, limited lenses and the hands movement, but we end up getting images that are completely artificial in many cases. Multiple images are combined with data which just made up by the ML models.

Better hardware (sensors) could solve some of this I hope.
I'm deep in the generative art NFT thing too, and I've seen it come up a couple of times.

In a couple of cases algorithms have been outright copied and used for new projects. Personally I believe that's wrong and people shouldn't do it. Definitely would not buy any such work.

There's also been a few cases where some code is clearly based on other code, and some artists get mad about that. For myself, this feels a lot less clear cut, and I might consider some such art if I felt it was novel enough.
I don’t know, being nice to car drivers is a bit like appeasement, I think a bit of passion could be good. I think on HN at least you can try and empathise as to why they might feel so strongly. IRL of course you could use a bit of a more diplomatic tone.
No, it's just Flash so it's a point of persistency. If you rely on on-chip flash integrity for security, a one-time glitch can compromise the system forever. If you rely on it for availability, then a random glitch (or even just cell decay) can brick your system forever.
I'd argue it's about expectations.

If I change the shape of my data, of course I'd expect a bunch of stuff that potentially needs to be updated. Adding and removing fields is dangerous.

On the flip side, changing an index or a foreign key will almost never change any query, because the data shape is exactly the same. The most it will effect is queries that change data. Even then, when you make that change you have to address, up front, what to do with existing data that might violate a new constraint.
> Death rate per million for age 25 is 100.

...and even this miniscule risk is divided by 10 after primary vaccination (a 90% risk reduction in serious illness). So yeah, now you're in the 10-per-million realm, where risk of myocarditis starts to matter.

You're confusing "booster mandates" with "vaccination". Neither the author nor I are questioning vaccination in general. We're questioning mandates for young people -- and in particular, mandates of booster doses that have no proven clinical benefit.
For women with relatively little education or skills, a job in an apple assembly plant is a god send. The alternatives are manual labour in the farm or construction, as maids or in textile factories where the pay as well as work conditions are worse.

I have personally visited factories in India which are neat and clean, and better than many college campuses.

>"If I store my documents on a free account for a one time send to the university application and then I forget about it, then Dropbox should purge it after a time to protect my data, as I don't have any "contract" with them like a subscription or something."

I found this sentence interesting, as it contained positive and normative statements that I disagree with, with a non-sequitor between them. You say that you have no contract with them, even though you agreed to some sort of 'user agreement'. Then you say that you forgot about it, and that makes your faulty memory their problem. They have to make sure your data is secure for you because you... just don't bother to pay any attention to where you're leaving it? Should they also be responsible for checking your password against known breaches, to make sure it's not compromised? Where does this end?
That seems like a bad example. In modern society rights are generally enforced by the support of the population via some judicial (or extra-judicial) system.
Just crashing the camera app won’t end up on Twitter and HN though.
I'm actually ill informed on this. It's correlation not causation and more understanding is needed. As one doctor points out we don't know enough and there are many factors influencing myocarditis in different countries and the best way is randomised controlled trials which we don't have.
Appreciate the correction! I wondered if this was the case when I wrote my comment, but figured the cameras were in the front grille. I guess putting the cameras higher up gives better perspective and reduces the chance of splashed mud/water that would obscure their view.
Yes, that is correct. finclout is not directly competing with GOOG/FB from a business model but from an attention perspective.
The goto papers are actually about their methan emissions, not CO2. Havent seen notable ones about CO2.

> is there really fast enough implementations available to the browser

Browsers have pretty good support for surfacing native code SHA family hash functions which you can use to speed up PBKDF2. It's called the Web Crypto API and it's available even in Internet Explorer 11. [1]

If you're willing to drop support for IE11 and 10+ year old phones like the iPhone 4S, then you get access to WebAssembly. With WASM you can get a bunch of custom algorithms to be quite fast. The Argon2 browser WASM library claims to be only about 10x slower than optimized native code. [2]

It's not perfect, but it isn't as bad as it used to be with just pure JavaScript.

Very much agree. I took RAW pictures with my Nikon on a christmas party, and even took the time to properly develop and adjust them.

Still, people complained on how "old and bad" their faces looked (in pretty normal pics, nothing fancy). I attribute this to the fact that everybody is now used to phones completely editing faces and smoothing skin and adding saturation, etc., which makes us more "instagramable" although less human.
Also, if you don't have a public access block in place, a private bucket can contain public files! Even if you can't list the files in the bucket, there are tools which try to guess common file names from guessed bucket names e.g. sega-secret-sauce.s3.amazonaws.com/.env - if someone uploaded a file there without setting the ACL correctly there could be an unprotected file in the private bucket.

i've only got limited experience working in a warehouse, but i think that yes, they can safely assume that any box packed loose in a shipping container or truck doesn't need to be supported from the bottom.

suction on the side or top isn't really any different from a human packer grabbing it with a hand on each side. heavier things that really need bottom support would usually be shipped on pallets.
Many warehouses do have the limit you mention: limited dock doors. It seems like building pallets and loading the trailer with a forktruck is a better plan than this thing. (You can build pallets anywhere inside the warehouse, not just in a trailer on a live dock. You give up maybe 6-9% of maximum volume that way, but humans/this robot aren’t packing to 100.00% either.

To hit 4.5 seconds cycle time on average, this thing is going to be cranking. I wonder what the centripetal acceleration required from the outside of the box is to let the arm complete its rotation in ~2 seconds is. That’s 180° of motion, with a start and stop ramp. Maybe I’d give them 3 seconds loaded if they can achieve 1.5 seconds unloaded. Will have to wait til after dinner to work it out, but it seems not a trivial force.
So they are finally going into the pick-and-place robotics market. Anyone know how much this robot will retail for?
