Sorry my statement was not clear.

I meant I was loosing interesting articles on my RSS server without filtering. I won't be loosing resources that I have already archived.

On the other side, having so many sources allows me to find articles about one topic and group them. Making future research for reporters easier. At least I hope so.

Isn't that life? Or society at least.

I didn't say there was any logic or deep meaning to it, just that someone being willing to sacrifice pigs but not dogs for scientific research doesn't surprise me at all. In mine, even vegetarians generally find the idea of those in others eating dogs (more so than pigs et al.) abhorrent.
FWIW I did the same search on Bing and Yandex and got similar results:

Either your theory is wrong, or the other search engines are also manipulating results for political reasons, or they are copying the results from Google.
This is extremely interesting, and explains my experiences with the obvious shift in moderation to an Americanised left-leaning perspective. It has been quite jarring to see something I had so much trust in undermined by America's identity war.
Every time something like this comes up I feel obligated to show my little Zelda map generator I wrote some time ago: https://imgur.com/a/R1OleXp

Sadly I never quite figured out how to complete even the small "maps" ... the LttP map has hundreds of unique tiles making back-tracking somewhat infeasible. You see that in the end of the first example, every time the algorithm notices that it messed up it back-tracks, but with many tiles to try it quickly grinds to a hold.

In which case you should have a check-up with your doctor and not self-medicate with aspirin. Maybe the doctor will prescribe you aspirin, who knows.
In fact that's the only interesting photos from old albums (that and people you know). A 100,000th photo from the Eiffel tower will be the least interesting thing you will find (unless it happens to be a landmark that disappeared). But life in the street of Paris in the 60s is really interesting and amusing to contrast to today.
China now have third child policy but young people are not buying it, we are too stressed out to even considering having kids… crazy housing market, expensive education, intense competition, just big NO THANKS
How do you categorise content though? You seem to think it's an easy problem..
Isn't this cheating?

"Euler thought no such 6-by-6 square exists, recently the game has changed. In a paper posted online and submitted to Physical Review Letters, a group of quantum physicists in India and Poland demonstrates that it is possible to arrange 36 officers in a way that fulfills Euler’s criteria — so long as the officers can have a quantum mixture of ranks and regiments."
The purpose of these laws isn't to penalise, its to ensure compliance. Giving them some time to figure out what they can and can't keep is a fair compromise. Anything else is really just bullying .

Germany is always crying out for developers. There is never a "bad time" for developers here.
Well, things like the normalization of everyday life (nothing like under Maoism where everybody was paranoid and millions died, people live regular lives, even with the authoritative rule of the party), opening up to businesses, lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty, big health and education access, huge infrastructure updates and development, great technical and scientific progress, becoming the world's number two economy up from being outside even the top 10 30 years ago, and so on.

And Hong Kong is also not exactly a noble history of a population determined to live free, but the result of a 100-year imposed lease of a whole area (as if it was some property) by a colonial power who deemed it a valuable port. Now, in 2022 most/many HKers want to be indepedent of RPC, but if it wasn't for that shady colonial past, Hong Kong would be part of China today, no?

> The court has already ruled that the speech is not necessarily legal,

This is in a sense not even wrong. All speech is "not necessarily legal". The court has ruled that discovery may happen, and Twitter is arguing that the court has misjudged the balance of harms, by undervaluing the privacy of it's user and the intent of the plaintiff. And that it has standing to make arguments on behalf of a user.

Google has done the same thing before for private communication (emails).

If I stored things in a bank deposit vault, they would be free to make the same argument, and probably do sometimes.

It has nothing to do with speech or 230, it's a privacy argument from start to finish.

> So... fundamentally a privacy argument then? Exactly as I said

Yes, but they aren't hiding in a free speech argument. They're claiming that the plaintiff hasn't met the bar to violate someone's privacy. That's the entire claim Twitter is making! Nothing about speech!

> They don't care one bit about "chilling" free speech, and yet, read the bleeding heart defense of speech in this brief.

So is your contention here that people and organizations need to be morally pure in order to maintain their rights? That seems to be what you're saying: if you don't uphold a commitment to the free speech of others, you are undeserving of free speech protections yourself.

Which is of course problematic for you, since it would imply you are also undeserving of those protections ;)
I was going to give the same example. Even simpler example would be dividing 5/2 = x. If all you know is whole numbers there is no solution, but if you introduce fractions you get a solution and a new tool which has many practical applications.

The original problem statement might not mention something, but that might be due to not knowing the solution and insight about fundamental relationship between the numbers that it represents. Unless you are filling a school test where you are expected a specific answer (even when it's wrong in more general case) the "children story" part of a math problem shouldn't be mistaken for what it actually represents. The more general solution might not be applicable in all cases due to real world limitations, but in some it may. You can't (don't want to) split one of 5 officers in half, but having half an apple or sack of grain is not a problem. If Euler knew the solution maybe he would have chosen something else than officers and ranks to describe the problem.
And Node, which has a community about 20 times larger than Elixir. It's really far from certain Elixir is gonna survive long term. Truth is besides quite rare use cases Elixir isn't a good fit for most companies.
Given how quiet the roads and pavements are in the video and photos does anyone know why the streets were built so wide?
I hear what you're saying but surely it's a responsibility of the tech leadership (and even the non-technical leadership to some extent) i.e. simple questions such as 'surely it shouldn't take this long to ship a simple feature?' or 'why is everything so complex and ever-changing?'
Another older example of this:

The Greater Tokyo Area (and you have to take the whole area into account when talking about affordable housing) is about 5400 square miles, slightly larger than Connecticut, about 7 times the size of New York City, and still twice the size of the Bay Area.

Tokyo "feels" knit closer together mostly because they don't suck at public transport.
Wages are relatively high where I live but there is no VC, so YC wasn't quite the right fit before where now it could work quite well.

With 125k it would have just been me and maybe a cofounder working for about a year or two, I wouldn't need all 125k for myself but I also couldn't hire anyone extra with 125k. I would be happy with that, but it wouldn't be the best outcome possible. At 500k hiring someone is now very possible, it's a huge increase, and another soul on board is a huge win.
Well... yes. That's exactly what "degree" means.
Not exactly sure but I would assume that any trace of religion was the first to go in Mao's revolution.
Far worse than this is it is destroying the quality of content produced by well meaning creators.

Every review (and almost every site now) has to have the word 'best' wedged in 1000 times and text descriptions of what would be far better communicated by graphs or diagrams. The vocabulary and grammar has to he reduced to duck speak (which becomes more verbose, less clear, harder to read, and more ambiguous). There need to be a hundred repetitions of whatever key words are popular. And there needs to be 50MB of javascript and anti-responsive nonsense for what would more legible, more attractive, more accessible, and actually usable on a phone if it were plain HTML with no styling.

Then you need further 20MB js libraries to progressively or dynamically load 100kB images.

It's not just highlighting terrible content, it's actively destroying good content.
Trust your gut.
People look down on Arch because the stability story is catastrophic, and Arch users deny that because they have low standards:

Parent was surprised that "Somehow the upgrade didn't completely hose everything" after only 2 years of no updates. It "just" took them "an hour of babysitting it" through cyclic dependency headaches. Child comments proudly proclaim "only seen a handful of actual breakages" (since 2016) and "on the of easiest distros to fix when things go wrong".

Compare to my dad's laptop, which has been running Debian for about a decade and often goes multi-year stretches without updates, and has never broken. Not once. That's the kind of performance I expect from an OS.
Paying 100 people to write "lgtm!" mindlessly for your profit is ... while code review, its false positive rate is problematic :)

Obviously the solution is a meta-reputation system with staking (ie. reverse bounties and when it turns out someone missed a bug they lose their stake, etc), and ... and a web of trust too! Oh and I want a pet dragon too!
A/B testing with the decision criteria being search ad revenue will prefer lower quality search results ... since you have to search more (and see more ads) to get what you're looking for. :(
Ask HN: State of Scala?
I've learned basic Scala a few years ago (when the chasm betwen Java-lang and Scala was much wider than today) and it always seemed like a very interesting and promising language to me.

What's the state of Scala nowadays? Is it more popular or less popular than 10 years ago?

If not, is there any new contender in the JVM space that took its place?

Are there any new projects worth knowing?
But also $30,149 used which I take as good sign. Maybe the maintainers wait for higher monthly donations to go full-time. We're donating to one project for three years and the maintainer hasn't taken out any money yet, zero.

RCS is garbage. Here’s why:

There is a publicly-facing Google site to enter an RCS enabled cellphone number, in order to disable Chat features… including end-to-end encryption.[0] This feature should only be configurable on-device, ideally, or at least be behind a login and 2fa. It’s just there on a public site. This is basically asking for sim-swapping attacks. And you’d never notice, only wonder why your RCS e2e keeps turning itself off. I wonder which individuals and agencies may benefit from that…

Even with the Chat features enabled, RCS doesn’t not support e2e on group texts[1], unlike iMessage, which does[2].

Google is just playing dirty pool and calling Apple users bullies by proxy, and I’m calling them on it.

Almost everything, including the writing system. They even thought about romanisation, but instead just settled on butchering many of the complex characters without fully considering the historical, linguistic or aesthetic concerns.
And it gets worse when you look at the page on mobile, miss the entire filter percentage column and that the list is ordered by that: then all random samples reached without excessive scrolling are mystery failures despite good filter result. Really strong example of how a seemingly harmless presentation failure can taint the perception of content.

Or that competition only worth anything if it is made in a very well regulated environment (as per Adam Smith himself). If the playing field had customer-friendly laws in place, none of these giants could be this scummy.
It doesn't have to be that complicated. Blacklist certain words and phrases. In this case, the people are being sent videos of a murder. Silently block all media content from non-whitelisted users, or any video that falls within a certain range of lengths. On a larger scale, content filtering rules can get more complicated and can be collaborated upon and shared. If we can do it with advertisements we can do it with offensive content.
That's a neat observation, the cities do have a similar history.

The medieval town called Oslo burned down in 1624, and a new city was founded on the other side of the bay. It was named Christiania after the monarch Christian. It kept that name until 1925 when they changed it back to the old historical name Oslo.

Some decades later, the Russian monarch Peter would also found a new city, which happened to have his name in it. So these two cities were being constructed at around the same time and taking design and architectural inspirations from the same places I would imagine.

The Allies never pardoned Mengele. He escaped capture and execution due to a combination of bureaucratic bungling (he was captured by the US in 1945, and while in custody his name was added to a list of wanted major war criminals, but somehow the list never made it to the POW camp authorities until after they'd already released him), then the US government somehow forming the false belief that he had already died, then the obstacles Mossad encountered trying to track him down in early 1960s Argentina, then Mossad deciding that the security threat posed by the Arab states (in the years leading up to the Six Day War) was a higher priority, and that by the time (1985) that public pressure had built to the point that the Israeli, West German and US governments were motivated to make a serious effort to find him, he had already died (while vacationing under a false name in Brazil in 1979).

He escaped justice through ineptitude, lack of political will and competing priorities, luck, and the assistance of the Nazi underground, not due to any active decision to forgive his monstrous deeds.

But isn't that the goal of google? I mean, it's an advertisement company after all. Despite common assumptions, google is not a search company.
Cheese making is a hobby I intend to get into in a few years, when I have more time in the evenings (read: kids get older). I've been subscribed to /r/cheesemaking (https://www.reddit.com/r/cheesemaking/) for some time now, gathering inspiration, bad ideas, and good ideas!

It feels like a great addition to a hobbyist cooks experience and in a similar space as fermentation (patience, temperature controls, accuracy where it counts)

You've selected an awful example. The one you choose wasn't an argument on anything technical concerning bitcoin, nor was it a claim on possibility of centralized exchanges blocking on chain transaction.

It is like you haven't read the preceding and the following paragraphs.

Author was simply relying his/her experience in discussing with crypto supporters. In the paragraph you quoted the response of crypto supporters is that exchanges have no power. In the following paragraph the response of crypto supporters is that exchanges have the power.

Hi all,

This is my end of the year list for top books discussed on Hacker News for 2021. I thought it would be fun to share :)

We also have a weekly email if you want to get a weekly email with the top 10 books discussed that week: http://eepurl.com/dfUEwz

We do weight based on HN Karma a bit and so far that is working well :)

Let me know what you think,
Thanks, Ben
I'll take the bait:

- Standard of living has increased incomprehensibly over the last 40 years.

- Huge cities with incredible culture and history.

- Safe to walk around at night. Imagine walking around downtown NYC or LA at 3am without feeling like you're gonna get mugged.

- Despite all the saber rattling with neighbors Taiwan, Japan, and India, and quarterly tank parades, not involved in hot wars since a misguided invasion of Vietnam in the 80s. Belt & Road might have some predatory loans but they're better than Predator drones.

- COVID has been well-controlled. Wuhan escape was inevitable, just look at how fast variants have spread even with (initially) 70-90% effective vaccines.

- Hong Kong Colony was leased to Britain under duress and returned by mutual and legal agreement; there is no independence argument here

- The last invasion of Taiwan was by the KMT when they fled there in 1949. Today's military provocation consists of flying some jets into an ADIZ (50% of which actually covers Fujian province in China) or shooting some ordnance into the sea.
I understand not literally everything can be tested, but I'm surprised that the Korean AirQueen is missing. It seems pretty popular on Amazon.
> In fact, I don't really care model they pick: they should be held legally liable when they curate an editorial headline that is libelous

Give me an example of such a headline. Note that a tweet, any tweet, is not twitters editorial content. So you're looking for something like the trending topics headlines (which Twitter doesn't have 230 protection regarding!)

Because, and this is really important: legally speaking, Twitter doesn't exercise editorial control over tweets.

Moderation isn't editorial control under the law.

> They used to say they were "The Free Speech Wing of the Free Speech Party."

Twitter did? I sure didn't. Who are you talking about?

> Here: https://www.courthousenews.com/judge-rules-twitter-can-be-su...

This is not the dunk you think it is. In a world without section 230, Twitter would be required to leave this content up short of a court order.

In my experience, for the basics, Rust async is great, it gets messier around more complex things, e.g. async database transaction retries or async-at-depth type flows - also, async traits are not available yet as standard (there is a crate available).
Nope, it's stalled. Last expense was from May '21. TJ Holowaychuk, one of the former core contributors, was frustrated about this specifically[0].

Good N95 style masks are difficult to get hold of in Australia. A few places are either charging absurd prices (like $10+ per disposable mask), but most pharmacies just don't stock them.

The one above has some fancy photos of certs in its listing, so it would be interesting to see if it's genuinely good. Happy to send some to you if it's helpful (you can dm me on twitter listed in my profile).
I am pretty bad with networks, but isn’t most of the http traffic https nowadays? How can they do header enrichment and the others, then? Isn’t that the purpose of https to forbid that? The only thing they are supposed to see is the target domain.

> decided what I actually needed was song lyrics

Or random gossip about media celebs. I'm searching for SCSI cable stuff and getting Kim Kardashian (whoever the #@$%@ that is).
We can do a lot better than random on our first guess, though. Playing the game as a human, I found that it helped to eliminate (or confirm the presence of) vowels and common consonants ASAP. A quick search for five-letter words with three distinct vowels (can't get more than that without straying beyond common English) and the most common consonants (R, S, T) yields words like "autos", "raise", and "suite", which I've anecdotally found to make for great starting words.
