The Amiga cult is interesting - a machine that simultaneously occupies two niches: a "coulda been a contender" machine remembered most fondly for gaming while its proponents insist it was a serious machine. I don't think anybody outside those who owned one ever saw it as anything more than the dead end of the 8 bit era taken to an extreme. I do miss the diversity of personal computing in those days though.

I always get a bit of a chuckle out of the whole "yes you can use the 'net, but you have to hook up a Raspberry Pi". Just use the Pi!
I for one am grateful that some of my worst mailing list accidents (like accidentally sending a privately intended message to a mailing list, rather then an individual email address) are starting to disappear from Google’s relentless claws.

As a Brit living in the USA for over a decade the first thing any American says upon meeting me is: "Whoah! I love your Australian accent! It's so strong!"

They still have some of the brand association of luxury, but indeed it's a very normal airline just like all the others. With similar service, legroom and food. But with no direct flights, which is less comfortable.

Um, just in case you don't realize, "-1" selects pages that don't include "1". You just asked Google for pages that both include and don't include "1", and that's the empty set. I'm not aware of any way to search for negative numbers.

This is really a UI problem. Google should probably use the context in this query to infer that you didn't literally want to exclude "1" from your results. However, half the comments here are complaining about Google not taking their queries extremely literally. This problem is a good demonstration of why inferring user intent can be useful and taking user input literally all the time is not actually a great idea.
Migration patterns overwhelmingly demonstrate that people are migrating from high density cities to low density, "hardcore suburban" cities. In the US, high density living is a boutique lifestyle choice that is constrained in the offer side (NIMBY), thus the prices. The fact that there are people willing to pay for this lifestyle doesn't mean that they are a majority, or even a significant percentage of the overall population.
Not the OP but I think he might be referencing this study from Columbia where they found that the “Featured” articles were mostly left-leaning: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3290605.3300683

The cause of this is debatable though - be it editorialisation, unconscious bias on behalf of people working on the algorithms or some common qualities to the websites that lean a certain way politically.
I spent the holidays with someone who does all their searches using only voice input. His eyesight is poor and he chooses to just say what he wants instead of putting on his reading glasses and typing it out.

> Laws are not always just, and not everybody who is prosecuted by some government is a criminal. Governments can seize bank accounts.

Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that there isn't a magical technological fix for that problem. Wanting something to be useful for dissidents doesn't make it so and it's irresponsible to tell them otherwise just because adoption would be personally profitable for you.

> You can be labeled a nazi for nothing these days

Do you have citations on “nothing”? The examples I've seen are all of people who were doing things most people find objectionable and they didn't get a blanket ban on banking or being online but rather a specific company chose not to associate with them. Even actual Nazis like Stormfront don't seem to stay offline for that long.

> Should dissidents in authoritarian regimes just give up, and not use Encryption or Tor? It certainly seems dangerous, but what is the alternative? Also I suppose you could try using Monero without anybody knowing that you used it.

Think about what trying Monero would mean: you'd have to be able to use a search engine to find a client, download it without triggering monitoring, hope that it's not actually a trojan left by the secret police, hope that it doesn't make identifying network traffic (always-on blockchain networks are easy to profile that way), figure out how to convert local currency into Monero and vice versa, etc. — and either do so perfectly forever or very carefully purge your history without leaving a trace.

It seems a lot less risky to avoid things with massive electronic footprints and focus on using cash and offline communications as much as possible, but really the key part is not overpromising. When sales people go around saying things which are not true about cryptocurrency, they're giving advice which is actively unsafe to follow — it'd be much better not to say anything at all rather than give a false sense of security.
Compared to the abstract, conceptual, and ephemeral nature of engineering solutions from many diverse technologies that are forever transitory and evolving - Making things in the physical world from many different materials with their concrete physical properties that are governed by the laws of physics and require specific skills and tools and sequencing and order to be able to fashion them into a physical object that provides actual utility… Making things in the physical world can be quite cathartic and grounding. More like meditation.

In Subway I often have trouble asking for tomato on my sandwich. "Tomatoes please. Tomatoes. TOMATOES. The round red things? Thank you."
I noticed the same thing... Googled the term yesterday, was notitified by google that "these search results are changing quickly". Then went on Bing and DuckDuckGo and found actual relevant results.

Surprisingly the first video result in Google is a youtube video with little views.

Smells fishy.
This just pushes censorship down a level, as we found out with Parler and Gab. Remember when Gab used to use Mastodon, and the major app stores told the authors of Mastodon clients that unless they hardcoded a check to prevent their app from connecting to Gab, their apps would be banned?
Is it though?

Let's say there's a group of people that has decided to round up a few specific groups, concentrate them in camps, and then systematically execute them.

Is it more moral to just let it happen, or use force to prevent it?

(Just to note the nazi concentration camps were not any part of the motivation for the allies in WW2, they were perfectly content letting it happen until the Axis invaded. We can see almost exactly the same thing with the Uyghurs in China today)
I definitely am considering getting a camper as well. That seems like a more straightforward solution, just potentially a more expensive one in the long run.

I’ll definitely do my research and see what I can come up with.
Brilliant quote, thank you. This book has been on my reading list so I think I'll go ahead and get it now.
Isn't lift a serviceable synonym for car jack or anything else that elevates a car?
Those practical bounds have a tendency to percolate into bounding other things. So you can only have 2**10 foos because they're indexed by a 10-bit bitfield somewhere? Now maybe you can only have 204 bars, because every bar has at least 5 foos. And so on.

If you genuinely wanted to reason solidly about such limits, you do end up needing arbitrarily bounded integers. Of course, most people don't want to do that, for good reasons. And even if you wanted it, there's a reasonable question whether adding them to the language syntax is really the right thing to do.
I think that was also a storyline in a Twilight Zone episode.

HN permits some level of advertising in the "show HN" class. Thats about enough for me.
It’s not just about high quality search results. It is also about wanton manipulation of societal narratives, which ultimately is manipulation of elections. For example, YouTube recently started taking down videos of Joe Rogan’s interview of Dr. Robert Malone. One of the concepts Malone brought up is ‘mass formation psychosis’, which has resulted in many people searching for that phrase. Google has a dystopian message at the top of their search results that suggests they are manipulating the search results or in the least using such messages to undermine the legitimacy of certain content (https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1477403661701689352). This is not how a search indexer should be operating and it is not the basis for open societies where you can freely exchange ideas on an even playing field.

I feel like the bottom up style is possible in static languages like C++ too, except instead of manually testing small functions in the repl, you can write small unit tests for them instead. In a way it's even better because a test written once can be run many times, while testing in the repl requires a manual test with every change.
> The increase in deaths is being driven by lockdown/social isolation so it looks more like medical triage.

This is an argument many make, but it's not a really good argument.

- Fentanyl deaths were trending up before 2020.

- The degree to which fentanyl is lacing other street drugs is unprecedented and seemingly independent of lockdown.

- Look, we don't really have "lockdown" anymore.

He framed his statement correctly, limiting his observation to the condition that the test returned a positive result. Saying that 84% of positive results are false is correct if only 16% are true. You'd need to know false negative rates and base occurrence rates (modified by whatever other factors are unique to your situation) to inform the nature of information you get by performing the test.
> We should just adopt Star Trek’s Federation flag.

The Federation flag is itself an adaptation of the UN flag to represent a union of planets in space instead of nations on Earth (and the Federation is basically a Space UN where the unified military command actually was implemented), so...just use the UN flag for Earth?

> I just want to be clear that it's incorrect to use the word "censor" or "censorship" to refer to the act of terminating someone's Twitter account for breach of contract.

You're right, the censorship happened even before that: Twitter's contract that says "you're not allowed to express any of these opinions" is the root of the censorship.

This is actually interesting.

I'll definitely no vegan and won't plan to. I do believe there are benefits to it.

But since China actually forced schools to serve eg. Eggs ( because of height difference with people from Japan) and they observed benefits within 1 generation and my personal experience with vegan people when I went to school ( they were sick more often and had to take additional vitamines) I never even considered it.

I'm really curious about separating the facts from the falsehoods. The article referenced seems to indicate that my personal observation isn't far off.
For the most part, why would I trust random employees at a store?

Knowledgable retail sales employees have completely vanished outside of niche "passionate enthusiast turned their hobby into a business". Homebrew shops, gun stores, marijuana dispensaries, comic and table top gaming stores, etc, but even many of those are plagued with the same cheap shit you can find on Alibaba or Amazon and a good chunk of the time if it's not the business owner you're dealing with you might as well skip asking questions. Outside of those niche interest stores there's often not even sales staff present, there are just people who stock shelves and operate the point of sale system but they don't even attempt to present themselves as knowledgable and can at best only point you to the right aisle of the store.

If she did that, the infrastructure services would do the censorship, just like they did to Parler.
> About 1 in 3 Americans believe that "violence against the government can at times be justified,"

Yeah, well, "can at times" is a weasel expression. Maybe next time don't ask weasel questions.

This poll doesn't highlight polarization. It highlights polling minus a clue.

Or does anyone seriously believe that no government action in history has ever justified violence?
Well a few months back in official UK mortality statistics from the ONS you could see a massive increase in the non-covid death rate for vaccinated people, but no one in the health authorities seemed to notice or feel the need to explain it.

You are simply reading this wrong. If you want to prove that to yourself, call up this guy and talk to him.

I often have to search the web for information about hormone therapy for trans peoole, long story short being that doctors tend to be pretty misinformed about HRT for trans people because the standards they use are based off information that is 20 years old, so trans women in the know tend to do their own research in order to get a decent HRT regimen.

Google is bad in general for health stuff, but it's particularly bad for searching anything trans-related because almost everything that comes up will either be clickbait liberal feminist listicles or clickbait right-wing transphobic FUD. Either way it's completely irrelevant to searching for something like differences in administering estradiol valerate vs estradiol enanthate. Like other people I tend to just look on reddit to find stuff that isn't SEO'd to hell, and there's a big community of trans biohackers on reddit, but it's very worrisome that it's this hard to find good content on the web without looking on yet another platform owned by a corporation that siloes peoples' content and can delete or mismanage that data at a moment's notice. It would be a tragic loss if reddit suddenly decided that the TransDIY subreddit violated the TOS for some reason, and I could very well see that happening.

It's no wonder the United States is as politically divided as it is considering that these services that are so deeply engrained into the lives of everyone clearly favor divisive content like politics that generates engagement. This is a thing that's been known but it's so plainly obvious that it's the case when trying to find information for something specific to your life if you're a minority whose existence is constantly being used as a talking point to signal where you stand in the culture war, and it effectively serves as a reminder to me when I use Google that this is all my existence is to most of society. You might think it sucks trying to find information about a vacuum cleaner or something and getting only shitty SEO'd spam, but you haven't seen anything until you've seen that information about something essential to your existence is nothing more than another piece of chum to trick people into looking at ads.
The BPF capability should really only be given to root. I don't think it really gives any new attack surface. All I could see is it giving black-hats an easier interface to "kernel-level-fuckery".
That's right. But they are able to have what we call a shared experience, which is a little different. However it isn't relevant here, because the shared experience of all the employees of a corporation is not the basis for the legal personhood of corporations. And what is the basis?

It's for the same reason mediocre OOP programmers use inheritance to borrow some partial implementation. It gets the job done, even if it doesn't quite fit.
I'm wondering how you guys are searching, do you type in short word combinations like 20yrs ago or full sentences and questions? Thing is Google values search intent above anything else right now, and if you don't show clear intent they have to guess, and the selection of search results will be mixed in consequence.

Here's a up to date PDF from Google explaining search intent:

https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/guidelines.raterh...
It’s possible that a decent search engine should be considered public infrastructure, just like water and internet and roads and a fire department. If not public, then forming a non-profit may be the way to go. I don’t see how for-profit search doesn’t turn to trash, given sufficient time.
Not using any currency which depends on an internet connection anyway since that makes it rather easy for the government to deprive those rebels of their funding - just block the 'net and jam satellite-borne access methods.

The problem with using Reddit specifically is that you can't filter by date anymore. Reddit has poisoned their results to show old posts with new dates on Google.
Do they say "no results" anymore? It seems like Google ignores parts of your query until you get results, no matter whether they are specifically connected to your search.

They're not lying. It's just meteorite kills are very clumpy.

I'm not a lottery player so I can't give a good estimate on the number of lottery winners, but for the major jackpots I'll guess many per year.

AFIAK we have no documented meteorite deaths--but it looks like the destruction of Sodom (of biblical fame) was a meteorite. While obviously we have no death toll it's obviously a *lot* of years of major lottery wins. The atmosphere stops most of the stuff but when something's big enough to get through it makes quite a boom. (Chelyabinsk was half a megaton but was high enough up the blast only caused harm by throwing broken windows at people. Tunguska, however was a few megatons and got low enough to be a city-killer. All it blew up was forest for probably zero deaths, but had it fallen 7 hours earlier the world would be a different place because it would have wiped out Leningrad.)
A lot of times an overdose occurs if a person got clean for a while then went back to using. They tend to start using at their previous levels even though their body is no longer used to that level, so it's a sudden jolt that kills them. So I've read - I have zero experience with drugs, luckily.
